Code samples

Build automotive apps using **Android Studio**. To learn how to develop apps for cars, read the official [documentation](https://developer.android.com/cars) on Android for Cars.

Run your app in the [Volvo Cars XC40 Recharge emulator](/in-car-apps/android-emulator-xc40) to verify that it looks and behaves as you intended. Publish the app on the Google Play Store to test it in a real car.

When you are ready, share your app publicly and give everyone who drives new Volvo cars the opportunity to experience your creations firsthand.

We’ve joined forces with Google, to give people the same experience in our cars 
that they’re used to on their phones. With an operating system powered by Android 
called **Android Automotive**, we’ve completely restructured in-car infotainment in our 
new line of vehicles. This state-of-the-art technology will revolutionise the way our 
customers interact with their Volvo. Learn more about
