Differences between Android and Android Things

As you can see an Android Things project is very similar to an Android project. We always have Activities, layouts, gradle files, and so on. At the same time, there are some differences:

  • Android Things does not use multiple layouts to support different screen sizes. So when we develop an Android Things app we create only one layout.
  • Android Things does not support themes and styles.
  • Android support libraries are not available in Android Things.
