Apps for Android Auto focus on actions tailored for in-car use, such as
navigating and listening to media or messages.
Developers can create apps for Android Auto in various ways, depending on the
app type (see Design process). Android
Auto then projects the apps from the phone to the screens of compatible cars.
Its interface is designed for in-car usability across all supported vehicles.
This section describes the user experience for certain app types on Android
Auto. To learn how to create apps for these and other app types, such as
navigation and point of interest apps, see
Create apps.
