Beijing time on September 29 morning news, Google this week by developer.Android.com issued a series of Android Auto developer documentation. These documents further show more details about Google's smart car platform so developers can better understand the performance of the entire system.
In fact, Android Auto "apply" is not a real application, but additional special content with existing Android application Android Auto, this mode is similar to Android Wear. Developers do not need to separate mobile applications, automotive applications, and watch application, simply all interface properties into a unified common application, then you can display on both the devices of different sizes.
Developers will not be able to customize Android Auto interface design, this is more of a "complete" way of development. Google will develop the interface layout, developers need only adjust their color schemes, buttons, and text. These applications also can play back the contents of the stream will be provided.
Developers cannot change the interface layout. For example, they are unable to adjust the location of buttons, add additional buttons, change the size of interface elements, or add extra screen pages. If developers want to develop tools Google has not taken into account, such as speedometers, now appears to be out of the question. Foreigners specially introduced China s Smartphone
Because developers are limited to within the framework of Google, so Google this framework deserves much attention. Android Auto with "media" interface, such as a media player. Developers can apply "music, podcasts, radio and audio in real time news" and so on. Android Wear similar to integrate Android Auto notification API (application programming interface) to automatically extract notification, and "appropriate" on the console screen to display. Applications can also register a series of voice operations, while Google's applications list feature is also provided.
Applications typically provide "night mode", when driving at night into a darker color scheme. In addition, Android Auto also provides a user interface.
Developer's lack of control over the application or adjust application design, this is due to an important reason: driving safety. In the process of designing Android Auto, Google won the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration assistance. Google wants drivers to focus more on the road, rather than onboard computers, a user interface developer can be customized is likely to cause an accident. Therefore, Google provides a simple, intuitive user interface, and also recommended that developers ensure that all "safe, appropriate for the environment."
Google says Android Auto standard user interface will help dispel global concern regulators. "Android Auto provides a standard user interface can minimize the driver distraction problem. You don't need to test one possible cause of driver distraction customized user interface. This will be a lengthy and costly process, which will involve many legislatures in the world, and needs to be adapted to each different standards of the auto maker. "
In short, developers cannot have too much on the Android platform for Auto-generated. Google says it will be "within the next few months," released Android Auto SDK (software development kit). When the outside world will be able to find out more information.
