Similarly, the messaging UI in Android Auto uses easy-to-read\nnotifications and voice-based messaging to minimize off-road glances.\n\nGet started\n-----------\n\nTo learn how to design apps with the templates in the Android for\nCars App Library, see\n[Build apps with templates](/cars/design/create-apps/apps-for-drivers/build-with-templates).\n\nTemplates especially relevant for calling apps include:\n\n- [Grid template](/cars/design/create-apps/apps-for-drivers/templates/grid-template)\n- [List template](/cars/design/create-apps/apps-for-drivers/templates/list-template)\n- [Sign-in template](/cars/design/create-apps/apps-for-drivers/templates/sign-in-template)\n- [Tab template](/cars/design/create-apps/apps-for-drivers/templates/tab-template)\n\n| **Note:** For technical details about how to build apps with the Android for Cars App Library, see [Use the Android for Cars App Library](https://developer.android.com/training/cars/apps).\n\nCalling\n-------\n\nThe Android for Cars App Library lets you create apps with lists or grids of\ncontacts that users can tap to initiate VoIP calls. Calls are smoothly\nintegrated with the Android Auto calling experience using the\n[Android CallsManager APIs](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/core/telecom/CallsManager),\nassuming you have implemented the Telecom APIs.\n| **Note:** The Calling category for apps created with the Android for Cars App Library is currently open for Beta Partners only. Request to join the program here.\n\nMessaging\n---------\n\nAndroid Auto's messaging experience consists of messaging notifications, and\nin-app conversation history. Your app can post incoming message notifications,\nand users can choose when to respond. Your app can also implement templates for\nusers to read and reply to conversations in your app. Options to play the\nmessage aloud and dictate an answer make it easier for users to respond while\ndriving.\n| **Note:** Messaging is available for Android Auto only. The Messaging category for apps created with the Android for Cars App Library is currently open for Beta Partners Only. [Request to join the program](https://forms.gle/VsXEdDEBidxw8q8u8) here.\n\n### Messaging notifications\n\nBecause the UI already exists within Android Auto, there is no UI work needed on\nthe app end. The only design considerations relate to:\n\n- **App icon.** Supply an app icon that will be easy for users to identify at a small size, in a badge on a notification.\n- **Message ordering.** Make sure your app's messages are appropriately grouped and sequentially ordered.\n\n### Messaging app\n\nThe Android for Cars App Library lets you create apps with lists of\nconversations. These conversations should match what a user sees in your mobile\napp experience, so they can easily find, read, and reply to those conversations.\nUnlike other templates, Conversation Item templates have less flexibility, and\nrequire specific pieces of information to be provided. With this, users will be\nable to easily read and reply to conversations using the Google Assistant.\n| **Note:** For technical details about how to build this experience, see [Build messaging apps for Android Auto](https://developer.android.com/training/cars/messaging)."]]
