Motion Lock

Motion Lock is a safety feature within CoPilot which limits access to the CoPilot UI once traveling above a threshold speed. This feature has been enhanced to increase the amount of interaction that is available through multiple modes available.

CopilotMgr.setMotionLockMode

Overview
Description Motion lock will lock the CoPilot UI once traveling above a specified speed. The UI can be locked down over a different range of modes, restricting more or less of the UI based on integration needs.
The threshold at which Motion Lock will be initiated should be set using setMotionLockSpeedThreshold. This API is just to set the lock mode, it’s not responsible for the actual lock to be activated.
Supported Since Version 10.9
Platforms Supported Android, Linux
Type Method
Package com.alk.cpik

Syntax

Parameters

Parameter Description
MotionLockMode The mode that you want CoPilot to locked down to once motion lock has been initiated. This will dictate the available options once traveling above the specified threshold speed.

Sample Code


CopilotMgr.getMotionLockMode

Overview
Description To return the current Motion Lock mode this API should be used. The mode dictates the extent to which the CoPilot UI will be locked down once initiated and traveling above the threshold speed. This will not return the threshold speed.
Supported Since Version 10.9
Platforms Supported Android, Linux
Type Method
Package com.alk.cpik

Syntax

Return Values - MotionLockMode

Sample Code


MotionLockMode

Overview
Description A value representing the Motion Lock UI mode that CoPilot will apply when motion lock is activated.
Supported Since Version 10.9
Platforms Supported Android, Linux
Type Enum
Package com.alk.cpik

Values

Value Description
ALL_UI_UNLOCK Unlock all UI, do not lock any UI elements when traveling above the threshold speed.
ALL_UI_LOCK Lock all UI when traveling above the defined threshold speed. This will also disable all pop ups except for the destination arrival pop up. All action required pop-ups have a default decision which will be followed if they are shown.
ONLY_DRIVING_UI_ACCESS Only allow access to driving functions. This will Lock access to the entire UI with the exception of the following:

Driving Menu → 2D/3D
Driving menu → Directions/Safety
Driving Menu → Clear Destination
Driving Menu → Close
Zoom buttons on map
Reset to current location button on map
POI Alert button on map
Popups
Map drag/swipe/pan/multi touch
Sound mute button
Mapsure button on navigation dialog

This is the default mode available within the CoPilot UI.

ONLY_DRIVING_UI_ACCESS_EXTEND ONLY_DRIVING_UI_ACCESS plus access to the following (disable keyboard):

Driving Menu → Find POIs
Main POI categories
Search All
More Categories
Driving Menu → My Route → Alternate
Go (Green circular button on plan trip screen)
Traffic Bar and traffic refresh button
Buttons in flow traffic map except for the setting button

PASSENGER_MODE Allow a temporary disablement of Motion Lock when used by a passenger. Motion Lock settings should be resumed upon restarting CoPilot.
When this mode is set, all UI will be unlocked. Once the application is re-launched CoPilot will resume in the previous MotionLock mode.
To enable this mode the following configuration is required to be set within the user.cfg:

[User Settings]
“EnablePassengerMode”=1

Once this is set this mode being passed will replicate the user selecting the passenger mode button within the UI.

CopilotMgr.updatePOICategoriesDisplayStatus

Overview
Description This API should be used to select the POI categories displayed on the map, for instance, Restaurant, or Gas/Fuel, etc. This has the same function as the tick boxes present on the Currently Displayed POIs screen available through the CoPilot UI. This API should be used in conjunction with UIMgr.setPOIDisplaySetting to manage when these POI categories are displayed.
Please note when using this API all POIs are defaulted to be displayed on the map. As a result, the first call to CoPilot needs to include the categories that you wish to hide. Within POICategory, isDisplayedOnMap can be used to identify the categories that are being shown on the map to determine those which you wish to hide. This can be returned via CopilotMgr.getPOICategories.
Supported on Android Since Version 10.9
Type Method
Package com.alk.cpik

Syntax

Parameters

List<POICategory - a list of POICategories that is going to be updated

Sample Code


POICategory

Overview
Description Object representing a POI category in CoPilot. Examples of POI categories would be Restaurant, Gas/Fuel, Hotel & Accommodation etc.
Supported on Android Since Version 10.9
Type Object
Package com.alk.cpik

String description of the POI category
isDisplayedOnMap()
boolean

CopilotMgr.integrateCustomPOIs

Overview
Description This API is used to draw custom places of interest (POIs) on the map. POIs are grouped into sets and each set is described using the JSON format shown below. You can display POIs on the map using CoPilot’s default icons for each POI category or by adding your own custom icons in the icon field.

Json Field Explanation

The JSON schema is defined below. All fields not marked as Optional are required.

  • Set (array)
    • Name (string) - The unique set name; not visible anywhere in Copilot, used for organizational purposes.
    • Persist (bool) - Whether the place set and all its data will be serialized to disk and persist through a restart of the CoPilot application. Setting this to false will keep the set in-memory only, and significantly improve the performance of this API by eliminating disk I/O.
    • Replace (bool) - Whether an existing set with this name will be replaced (all places will be deleted before adding the new places) or whether the new places will be appended to the current set.
    • Deleted (bool) Will delete a current set with the same name.
    • Categories (array)
      • Name (string) The name of the POI category. Visible in Copilot in the POI Search dialog as long as at least one place mapped to this category exists on the device.
      • Icon (string; optional) The name of the POI category icon that will be displayed. To use a custom icon, import the image into the Region/Save folder and add the prefix “usr_” to the value in the icon field. For example: To use an icon named coolcustom.png, the icon field should be "Icon": "usr_coolcustom". Alternatively, you can leave this field blank and CoPilot will search for user-provided images within the Region/Save folder, looking for an icon name that matches the category name.
      • MaxZoomLevel (integer) The maximum zoom level that POIs of this category will be visible on the map. Range is 0 (zoomed in to a very small portion of the map) to 7 (zoomed out to a much larger portion of the map.)
      • Options (integer) Bitwise OR of three possible values. Use 21 to enable all options.
        • 1 - Display on Map
        • 4 - Searchable Whether this category appears in the POI search dialog
        • 16 - Alertable Whether this category appears in the POI alert settings
    • Places (array)
      • Address (object) Displayed when viewing the POI
      • StreetAddress (string; optional; 128 char max)
      • City (string; optional; 128 char max)
      • Zip (string; optional; 16 char max)
      • State (string; optional; 4 char max) State (US) or Country (EU) abbreviation
      • County (string; optional; 64 char max)
      • Coords (object) Used to draw the POI on the map, and when routing to the POI
      • Lat (string) decimal degrees, positive for North, negative for South
      • Lon (string) decimal degrees, positive for East, negative for West
    • CategoryName (string) Assigns this POI to a category (category name must exist in the category array described above for this set).
    • PlaceName (string; 128 char max); Displayed when viewing the POI.
    • Phone (string; optional; 64 char max) Displayed when viewing the POI.
