Original: CarPlay And Android Auto From One Codename One API
Short summary
Codename One's PR #5281 adds unified CarPlay and Android Auto support via com.codename1.car, letting developers build driver-safe car apps from a single Java or Kotlin codebase. The API maps portable CarTemplate types (list, grid, pane, navigation, now-playing) to native Apple and Google equivalents. The build system conditionally injects native wiring only when car APIs are used, and platform approval is still required for deployment.
- •Single API covers both CarPlay and Android Auto with template-based, driver-safe UI
- •Build system auto-detects car API usage and injects native wiring only when needed
- •Platform approval and entitlements still required for CarPlay/Android Auto deployment
