# Karoo Powerbar Extension
|
|
|
|
[](https://github.com/timklge/karoo-powerbar/actions/workflows/android.yml)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simple karoo extension that shows an overlay power bar at the edge of the screen. For Karoo 2 and Karoo 3 devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Install the app and start it from the main menu. You will be asked to grant it permission to show
|
|
it on top of other apps (i. e. the karoo ride app). You can select one of the following data sources
|
|
to be displayed at the bottom or at the top of the screen:
|
|
|
|
- Power
|
|
- Heart rate
|
|
- Average power over the last 3 seconds
|
|
- Average power over the last 10 seconds
|
|
- Speed
|
|
- Cadence
|
|
|
|
Subsequently, the bar(s) will be shown when riding. Bars are filled and colored according
|
|
to your current power output / heart rate zone as setup in your Karoo settings. Optionally, the actual data value can be displayed on top of the bar.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
If you are using a Karoo 3, you can use [Hammerhead's sideloading procedure](https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/articles/31576497036827-Companion-App-Sideloading) to install the app:
|
|
|
|
1. Open the [releases page](https://github.com/timklge/karoo-powerbar/releases) on your phone's browser, long-press the `app-release.apk` link and share it with the Hammerhead Companion app.
|
|
2. Your karoo should show an info screen about the app now. Press "Install".
|
|
|
|
If you are using a Karoo 2, you can use manual sideloading:
|
|
|
|
1. Download the apk from the [releases page](https://github.com/timklge/karoo-powerbar/releases) (or build it from source)
|
|
2. Set up your Karoo for sideloading. DC Rainmaker has a great [step-by-step guide](https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2021/02/how-to-sideload-android-apps-on-your-hammerhead-karoo-1-karoo-2.html).
|
|
3. Install the app by running `adb install app-release.apk`.

## Hide powerbar from other apps
|
|
|
|
If you want to temporarily hide the powerbar from other apps when you show something on the screen
|
|
that would be hidden by the bar overlay, you can send a `de.timklge.HIDE_POWERBAR` broadcast intent to the app.
|
|
Optionally, include the following extras:
|
|
|
|
- `duration` (long, ms): Duration for which the powerbar should be hidden. If not set, the powerbar will be hidden for 15 seconds.
|
|
- `location` (string, `"top"` or `"bottom"`): Location of the powerbar to hide. If not set, the powerbar at the top will be hidden.
