No Activity found to handle Intent { act=com.android.car.developeroptions.action.DEMO_MODE }

Question

I am trying to use the SystemUI demo mode using the AAOS emulator (see image below), but unfortunately this doesn't seem to work.

The build number is as shown here:

Logcat shows the following exception. I am wondering if this is a known issue and if it can be avoided somehow?

Process: com.android.car.developeroptions, PID: 4461

Answer 1

the RenderService has not been supported on the AAOS, currently just testing the car templates-related apps on the Android Auto and using the DHU as the projected terminal. see details of the NOTES on the official webpage: Usage of Android for cars
