FAQPage Schema
What is the correct way to build AAOS UIs with the Car App Library?▼

Building AAOS UIs requires using official Car App Template APIs instead of custom layouts to ensure compliance with platform safety standards. This approach provides structured templates like ListTemplate and NavigationTemplate for vehicle application interfaces.

How do I choose the right Android Automotive template for my vehicle app screen?▼

Choosing an Android Automotive template depends on your screen's purpose, such as using NavigationTemplate for routing or GridTemplate for media browsing. Matching the template to the use case ensures your vehicle app meets platform UI requirements.

Can I use custom layouts for Android Automotive OS settings screens?▼

Custom layouts are not recommended for Android Automotive OS settings screens. You should use official templates like PaneTemplate or ListTemplate to build interfaces that comply with AAOS safety-oriented UI implementation rules.

What AAOS templates are available for building media and navigation interfaces?▼

Available AAOS templates include GridTemplate for media interfaces, PlaceListMapTemplate and NavigationTemplate for navigation, MessageTemplate for alerts, and TabTemplate for organizing multiple screen categories.

Are there construction constraints when using the Car App Template API in Kotlin?▼

Yes, the Car App Template API enforces construction constraints in Kotlin to maintain safety-oriented UI implementation. Developers must follow specific parameter constraints and template selection rules to build compliant AAOS embedded applications.
