Hi All, I am not sure if this is post is ok here so please let me know if not. I did not see any other android community that was a decent size for development so figured there might be some devs in here.

I recently forked an FOSS project that has an android auto component to it. I don’t have a physical device to test with in my car so I need to set up an emulator.

Challenge is, I am struggling to figure out how to do so, from what I can gather, it is either the same? or you can launch from a local device connected via usb and it launches to an emulator as if it was a head unit? I am clearly missing something and all the articles I’ve seen have not really gotten me over the finish line.

Any links or tips appreciated!

It seems that you can use an official emulator: https://developer.android.com/training/cars/testing/dhu
