Qt Android Automotive Base Module

The Qt Android Automotive Base module contains APIs to manage various Android Automotive features. It contains classes that other Qt for Android Automotive modules may depend on. These classes are small and potentially low level features that integrate with the Android Automotive OS.

Getting Started

To include the definitions of the module's classes, use the following directive for C++:

#include <QtAndroidAutomotiveBase>

To use the QML types, add the following import statement to your .qml file:

import QtAndroidAutomotive.Base

Using the Module

Using a Qt module requires linking against the module library, either directly or through other dependencies. CMake and qmake build tools are supported.

Building with CMake

Use the find_package() and target_link_libraries() commands to locate and link the needed module component from the Qt6 package:

find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS AndroidAutomotiveBase)
target_link_libraries(mytarget PRIVATE Qt::AndroidAutomotiveBase)

Building with qmake

Add androidautomotivebase to the QT variable:

QT += androidautomotivebase

Permissions

Some of the APIs in the module need Android permissions to function properly. For more details, see Permissions in Qt Android Automotive Base Module.
