The layout gridĪndroid Auto layouts align UI elements along an 8dp grid, with some smaller components aligning to a 4dp grid. Responsive margins adjust their width based on the size of the screen. This space can be used by the app as a secondary area to show additional information. To provide more space, the right-side margin can be removed on smaller screen sizes. The remaining screen space, called the app canvas, contains app content. The left and right margins adjust to 12% of the screen width, and they typically contain scroll bars and navigation controls. Components have flex areas that can be expanded or shrunk to an appropriate size for each car’s screen.Īndroid Auto relies on adaptive breakpoints to determine screen layout, which are calculated from the size of the app window, rather than the entire screen.Īdaptive breakpoints across narrow (0-600dp), standard (600-930dp), wide (930-1280dp), and extra wide (1280dp+) screen sizesĪndroid Auto uses responsive margins based on the size of the entire car screen. Responsive design adapts a layout in a way that’s proportional to the exact screen size. For a defined range of screen sizes (such as those less than 1280dp wide) a specific layout is displayed. Adaptive design uses breakpoints to determine a screen’s layout.
