public class CarNowPlayingTemplate

Object
CarTemplate
CarNowPlayingTemplate

The system now-playing surface for audio apps. On both platforms the track metadata, artwork, transport controls and scrubber are driven by the platform media session – on Android by the MediaSession behind Codename One’s background audio service, on iOS by MPNowPlayingInfoCenter / the remote command center – so this template carries no metadata of its own. It exists to (a) route the head unit to the now-playing screen and (b) add up-to-two app-specific buttons (shuffle, repeat, like, rate). Maps to CPNowPlayingTemplate and the Android Auto now-playing view.
