Settings highlights

Tuner

Enable RDS

RDS is a radio data system. When this option is enabled, the application will display data transmitted from the radio station, such as the Program Service and Radio Text.

Antenna

Select an antenna. In most cases: 0 - default, headphones; 1 - internal (bad quality).

Application

Autostart

If enabled, audio from the radio will be immediately turned on after starting the application.

Notifications

Show PS in title

If the option is enabled, then with the "Enable RDS" option enabled, the Program Service and Radio Text will be displayed in the notification header.

Building

./gradlew :app:assembleDebug

For native/FM backend-related work you also need Android NDK headers and device-specific tooling.
