Android Auto Sample or Tutorial

Johan Danforth 1

I'd like to add support for Android Auto with my Xamarin Forms app, but I just cannot find any docs or tutorials on the matter. I understand it involves adding a automotive_app_desc.xml file and refer to it from the manifest somehow. Then probably a few more steps. Can someone please point me in the general direction or anything?

Hi, JohanDanforth-7053. Xamarin.Android is only a layer of wrapper for Android native libraries, there is no extra operations. You could refer to the steps of suing Auto api in native Android. Here is the related doc, you could refer to: https://support.google.com/androidauto/answer/6348029?hl=en#zippy

Hi Johan,

I've added a tutorial on YouTube on how to add an Android Auto app to a .NET Maui app. You can follow the same steps for Xamarin. Hope it helps!
