The Android for Cars App Library provides app developers with vehicle-optimized templates for building two types of apps: navigation and point-of-interest (POI) apps.
The screen templates in the Android for Cars App Library provide the UI for user activities such as:
Selecting a location
Searching
Choosing from a list or grid of items
Taking an action based on information details
Responding to a message from the app
Previewing routes
Navigating
To create user flows within their apps, app developers can customize both the templates and the sequence in which they appear. Android for Cars App Library automatically adapts the UI to all compatible vehicles.
