public abstract class CarTemplate

  1. Object
  2. CarTemplate

Known subtypesCarGridTemplate, CarListTemplate, CarMessageTemplate, CarNavigationTemplate, CarNowPlayingTemplate, CarPaneTemplate

The base type for the fixed catalog of in-car templates. Unlike Codename One Forms, the head unit (Apple CarPlay / Google Android Auto) does not allow arbitrary rendering – it only displays one of a small, driver-distraction-vetted set of templates. A CarScreen produces exactly one CarTemplate from its CarScreen#createTemplate() method.

Concrete templates:

  • CarListTemplate – a (optionally sectioned) scrolling list of rows.
  • CarGridTemplate – a grid of image-forward items.
  • CarPaneTemplate – a detail pane of label/value rows plus action buttons.
  • CarMessageTemplate – a short message with actions (and read-aloud/voice-reply for messaging).
  • CarNavigationTemplate – a turn-by-turn surface with a drawable map (navigation apps only).
  • CarNowPlayingTemplate – the system now-playing surface for audio apps.
