*** ** * ** ***

An abstract input template for a[Control](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/controls/Control). Specifies what layout is presented to the user for a given[Control](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/controls/Control).

Some instances of[Control](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/controls/Control)can originate actions (via user interaction) to modify its associated state. The actions available to a given[Control](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/controls/Control)are determined by its[ControlTemplate](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/controls/templates/ControlTemplate).

### getNoTemplateObject

Added in[API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)  

```
public static ControlTemplate getNoTemplateObject ()
```

Get a singleton[ControlTemplate](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/controls/templates/ControlTemplate), which supports no direct user input. Used by[Control.StatelessBuilder](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/controls/Control.StatelessBuilder)when there is no known state. Can also be used in[Control.StatefulBuilder](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/controls/Control.StatefulBuilder)for conveying information to a user about the[Control](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/controls/Control)but direct user interaction is not desired. Since this template has no corresponding[ControlAction](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/controls/actions/ControlAction), any user interaction will launch the[Control.getAppIntent()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/controls/Control#getAppIntent()).
