A collection of Android Auto developer
documents is released by Google to the developer.android.com
that shows more of Google's in-car platform and providing a better
sense of the system’s capabilities to the developers. Android Auto
"apps" are not app but an additional Android Auto-specific
content that developers are integrating to their existing
applications. This is only way Android Wear works.
Those developers, who don’t have
separate watch, car and phone application, can add extra interface
attribute in their regular application to show on the other form
factors. While using this, developers don’t have to test a custom
UI for driver distraction that seems to be lengthy and costlier
process, adding multiple legislations and different standards for
each vehicle OEM.
Interfaces for browsing, searching, and
listening are defined by the UI to content from media applications.
Even, developers can simply customize the action icons, background
images, UI colors, and more.
Launcher
All the compatible media apps that
installed on the user’s Android device is shown by the launcher. It
enables users to choose one of option from a scrollable list:
Primary App UI
The primary app UI is shown by the
display after the user chooses a media app. Users can simply
customize the UI to display their icons, app name, and background
images. See the below picture of a customized UI:
User Actions
Four different types of actions on the
action bar, the Return action and four auxiliary actions on the
overflow bar are supported by the primary application UI. One can
simply use standard controls and can customize the actions and icons
like shown in below given figure.
Drawer Transitions
The drawer transition is also shown by
the display for browse actions. Check out below image for more
information.
You will see the drawer on the center after the transition from the primary app UI to the drawer UI. Moreover, it also displays the media containers and media files that delivered by the media service in user’s app. Drawers can also be customized with icons for list items.
Day and Night Transitions
Different types of color schemes are
supported by the UIs for day and night. The state (day or night) and
automatically adjustments are provided by the platform.
Customizing UIs
Developers have to provide app-specific
resources and actions to the Android Auto media client for
customizing the UI.
- Actions - Multiple custom actions
- Resources - App logo, theme colors, app name, and background images.
