AppInfo

@CarProtocol
class AppInfo

Container class for information about the app the host is connected to.

Hosts will use this information to provide the right level of compatibility, based on the application's minimum and maximum API level and its own set of supported API levels.

The application minimum API level is defined in the application's manifest using the following declaration. 

<manifest ...>
  <application ...>
    <meta-data
        android:name="androidx.car.app.minCarApiLevel"
        android:value="1" />
    ...
  </application>
</manifest>
