I am trying to figure out how can I modify the icons and interchange the order that appear in android auto navigation activity.
So far I have found this code needs to be modified directly in AOSP. The file that I think that is drawing this is CarNavigationBarController.java
I have not been able to figure out the resource that I need to modify the icons and their order.
Thank you in advance.
You can't.
This bar is generated by Google's Android Auto application and it's proprietary.
The Android Auto playback menu is standard, and the third party apps are not allowed to change the interface
You can only customize the color of the button, to distinguish your brand for some degree. Otherwise, the experience should be consistent and predictable to minimize the drivers distraction.

I need to add an additional button to the right of the system buttons, as shown in the photo. clicking on it will perform a specific action related to my app. Can this be done?
In general: No. There's not an API for this, only the OS can control the navigation area. Consider also the problems you'd run into with the variety of system navigation styles available, many of which, like gesture navigation, don't even have buttons.
Some apps fake things with screen overlays that reimplement some or all of the navigation and/or hide the system navigation, but you're going to run into all of the above issues doing so, plus the issues inherent in screen overlays, plus you'll have no guarantee that however you do it will continue to work into the future. I wouldn't recommend trying this approach.
Is it possible to build a Android-App,
where a User can control or block some selected menu-points in the default Android Settings menu? For example Connections or Display.
Sorry, I am completley new in Android Development. I want to develop an app for Parental Control.
Thank you :-)
Iam learning Kotlin
No there's no way to do this. And remember- there isn't one settings app. Multiple OEMs write their own, or customize the base one. So even if you could do it in the AOSP version, there's no way to be sure that the others would work with it. If you need this for personal use, consider a custom ROM or replacing the settings app yourself. If this is for a store app, its just not going to work, look into device ownership and device profiles as the only real way to prevent (some) settings changes.
I want to create some thing like drawer menu that open from bottom of screen.
some thing like blow image. Also I want to know is that any special name?
You can use BottomSheet library. It works on Android 2.1+
https://github.com/soarcn/BottomSheet
It's called a SlidingDrawer. It was on the SDK but got deprecated a while back.
That said, this thrid-party library should do the job just as good. I've used it in multiple projects.
I have looked quite a few places but can't seem to find this specific solution. I am interested in creating a menu that will always be visible across every layout/view of the application. This menu would act much like the header/menu of a website that is fixed and always exists across all pages of the site. I assume I can simply create a menu and have it's visibility shown from initialization but I'm not sure if that's the best way. I don't want the user to have to click any other buttons to open the menu, I just want it fixed and constantly visible from the start of the app.
Thank you.
Any help is appreciated.
Fragments, they are a way to define parts of the user interface. They are similar to activities, they have their own lifecycle. They are also closely tied to the life cycle of their parent activity.
You can add them statically by declaring them in your xml manifest and in your layout file
-or-
you can add them dynamically in runtime by creating them as java objects and xml layout files and then add them using the FragmentManager class.
check out the Documentation on the android developer website
https://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html
also, check out some tutorials on youtube, I like these ones especially:

Good Luck!
iOS has the ability to allow the user to rearrange/reorder elements in a list.
This is done by going into Edit mode and dragging the elements to the required location.
A good example of this is the Edit mode in the Notifications screen in the Settings app.
Does there exist this kind of functionality in Android by default? Is it possible to enable this functionality within ListView or LinearLayout?
If this doesn't exist in the base Android functionality is there a library that does a similar thing?
I know of the drag and drop functionality, but this is most likely too low level as far as I can tell.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/drag-drop.html
There are some third party libraries available in android

There's an example from Google's DevBytes available now.
