DRIVER_DISTRACTION_WARNING_ENABLED

What it is

Enable or disable driver distraction warnings.

Set true to enable driver distraction warnings and false to disable driver distraction warnings.

When driver distraction warnings are enabled, the driver distraction monitoring system inside the vehicle should warn the driver when it detects the driver is distracted.

In general, DRIVER_DISTRACTION_WARNING_ENABLED should always return true or false. If the feature is not available due to some temporary state, that information must be conveyed through the ErrorState values in the DRIVER_DISTRACTION_WARNING property.

This property is defined as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ_WRITE, but OEMs have the option to implement it as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ only.

How the ID is built

A property ID is a 32-bit value packing four fields. Reading 0x1120101f apart:

FieldMaskValueMeans
Group0xf00000000x10000000SYSTEM
Area0x0f0000000x01000000GLOBAL
Type0x00ff00000x00200000BOOLEAN
Ordinal0x0000ffff0x0000101f0x101f

Reading it from an app

CarPropertyManager mgr = (CarPropertyManager)
        car.getCarManager(Car.PROPERTY_SERVICE);

boolean value =
        mgr.getBooleanProperty(VehiclePropertyIds.DRIVER_DISTRACTION_WARNING_ENABLED, 0);

This property can be read and written, though an OEM may implement it as read-only. It fires a callback whenever the value changes.
