Can we install more than one application on Android Things and run only one at a time as we desire just like an app in Android phones?

1Do you want to run two applications? Check this link out! Is it possible to run multi applications at Android Things?– M. RostamiJan 14, 2020 at 10:42

Where exactly is the problem with Raspberry Pi? You should better ask at android.stackexchange.com– IngoJan 15, 2020 at 8:25

2@Ingo, Android Things can currently run on 2 hardwares only, one of which is Raspberry Pi 3B. So, I believe, OP runs the OS on the last mentioned.– OnikJan 16, 2020 at 20:15

Yes, we can.
Android Things is yet Android. Although note that, in contrast to Android, Android Things does not have System UI app pre-installed, meaning no "Home screen" is available for users. So running other apps' launcher Activities would demand an extra effort (those Activities should be exported
to be launched either programmatically or through adb
).
