Familiarity with Java or KotlinDescription
"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."
Have you ever opened the Android Automotive source code and wondered where the status bar, navigation bar, notifications, overlays, or user management actually come from? This course answers those questions by taking you on a complete walkthrough of theCarSystemUI source code using the real Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
Unlike traditional Android courses that focus only on APIs or theory, this course follows the actual source code used in production Android Automotive systems. You'll learn how CarSystemUI is structured, how it starts during boot, how different components communicate, and how each major feature is connected to what you see on the screen at runtime.
Throughout the course, we'll explore the project structure, application lifecycle, startup sequence, dependency injection, Car Service integration, system bars, overlay window framework, TaskView, multi-display support, user management, HVAC integration, privacy features, and OEM customization techniques. Every topic is demonstrated using real AOSP source files, making it easy to understand how the framework works behind the scenes.
You'll also learn a practical development workflow, including how to open the project, build CarSystemUI, deploy changes, and verify your modifications on an Android Automotive build before diving into the source code.
