WINDOW_MOVE

What it is

Window Move

The maxInt32Value and minInt32Value in each VehicleAreaConfig must be defined. All integers between minInt32Value and maxInt32Value must be supported.

The maxInt32Value indicates the window is opening in plane/closing in the out of plane direction at the fastest speed. The minInt32Value indicates the window is closing in plane/opening in the out of plane direction at the fastest speed.

Larger absolute values, either positive or negative, indicate a faster movement speed. Once the window reaches the positional limit, the value must reset to 0. If WINDOW_MOVE's value is currently 0, then that means there is no movement currently occurring.

This property is not in any particular unit but in a specified range of relative movement speeds.

For a window that may open out of plane (i.e. vent mode of sunroof) this parameter will work as follows:

If sunroof is open: Max = open the sunroof further, automatically stop when fully open. Min = close the sunroof, automatically stop when sunroof is closed.

If vent is open: Max = close the vent, automatically stop when vent is closed. Min = open the vent further, automatically stop when vent is fully open.

If sunroof is in the closed position: Max = open the sunroof, automatically stop when sunroof is fully open. Min = open the vent, automatically stop when vent is fully open.

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 0x13400bc1 apart:

FieldMaskValueMeans
Group0xf00000000x10000000SYSTEM
Area0x0f0000000x03000000WINDOW
Type0x00ff00000x00400000INT32
Ordinal0x0000ffff0x00000bc10xbc1

Reading it from an app

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

int value =
        mgr.getIntProperty(VehiclePropertyIds.WINDOW_MOVE, areaId);

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