Google Android is a marvelous mobile platform that has dramatically improved its capabilities in the past few years. Google has amazingly worked upon it to make it one of the leading mobile operating system. Today, not only Android is giving a fierce competition to the iOS, which was once the forerunner of the touchscreen industry, but it is holding over 70% of the total market shares.


With such a gigantic user base, it is certain that why businesses are rapidly choosing an Android application to embrace a powerful mobile presence. There are several Android app development companies out there that offer invaluable development services at competitive prices. If you are interested in developing a superlative Android application to leverage your business, you can easily seek suitable professional across the globe.


However, it has been observed that there is a notable challenge that come developers often experience while developing good Android Auto applications. And, this has been testing the UX delivered by these applications. The fact, being that it is not possible for every individual developer to invest a hefty amount in purchasing new cars with inbuilt Auto. And, it also can't be ignored that to fit the aftermarket head units in the cars that have been manufactured recently, one needs to do a lot of modification. While some may manage to modify them to suit their needs, they still don't form a commendable option.


With the release of Auto SDK, Google has also offered simulators. Although these simulators could be preferred for the basic testing of media browser interfaces and messaging, they don't make an optimal choice to test the things in real time.


Here is a good news for all the Auto application developers who were seeking a reasonable solution to effectively and efficiently test their applications.


Yes! Google has finally unveiled the Android Auto Desktop Head unit (DHU), that is a well functioning implementation of the Android Auto platform which can run smoothly on a laptop of desktop. Thereby, facilitating developers to accomplish their job with a great precision.


The DHU is similar to an Android Auto unit which supports all the on-screen buttons and a range of functions in a normal way. In fact, it offers amazing performance that it is actually hard to virtually identify whether it is operated via mobile device or in a genuine way. This ultimately provides developers with the high end environment where they can conveniently test their application's performance, and anticipate the functioning in the real time. More interestingly, now they won't need to invest and sit in a car to test their application.


This certainly makes it an advisable option to hire Android app developer to get a prolific Android Auto application developed. With cutting edge testing tools like DHU, developers can ensure a surefire application that can proficiently cater to your needs.


While the DHU offers a list of useful features, you can click on its screen via the mouse, or touchscreen. Moreover, it can also receive inputs through a microphone, so that you can give voice commands with a flair and test your application for voice commands as well (if needed). The professionals can even manage to input a range of actions via the command line instructions.


Google is surely going to further enhance the development tools to heighten the development of Android application by making it easier for both novice and experts to efficiently develop outstanding Android applications with a breeze.
