Weather apps
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Android for Cars lets you create app experiences that display weather maps and
relevant weather information to drivers.
The templates in the Android for Cars App Library are driving-optimized and
allow you to show relevant weather information in your app. The apps you design
with these templates can work for both Android Auto and AAOS.
In the Weather category, your app can draw its own map to show weather relevant
information such as temperature, wind, and radar overlays.
Get started
To learn how to design apps with the templates in the Android for Cars App
Library, see

Relevant templates include:
UX requirements
Weather apps need to meet the
global requirements for templated apps,
as well as the requirements for weather apps
and for the specific templates
used in the task flows.
