<p>Welcome to the Android Compatibility Definition Document (CDD). This document
|
|
enumerates the requirements that must be met in order for devices to be
|
|
compatible with the latest version of Android. To be considered compatible with
|
|
Android, device implementations MUST meet the requirements
|
|
presented in this Compatibility Definition, including any documents
|
|
incorporated via reference. For each release of the Android platform, a
|
|
detailed CDD will be provided. The CDD represents the "policy" aspect of
|
|
Android compatibility.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is important the policy of the Android compatibility program is codified
|
|
explicitly as no test suite, including CTS, can truly be comprehensive. For
|
|
instance, the CTS includes a test that checks for the presence and correct
|
|
behavior of OpenGL graphics APIs, but no software test can verify that the
|
|
graphics actually appear correctly on the screen. More generally, it's
|
|
impossible to test the presence of hardware features such as keyboards, display
|
|
density, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The CDD's role is to codify and clarify specific requirements, and
|
|
eliminate ambiguity. The CDD does not attempt to be comprehensive. Since
|
|
Android is a single corpus of open-source code, the code itself is the
|
|
comprehensive "specification" of the platform and its APIs. The CDD acts as a
|
|
"hub" referencing other content (such as SDK API documentation) that provides
|
|
a framework in which the Android source code may be used so that the end
|
|
result is a compatible system.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want to build a device compatible with a given Android version,
|
|
start by checking out the source code for that version, and then read the
|
|
corresponding CDD and stay within its guidelines. For additional details,
|
|
simply examine <a href="/compatibility/android-cdd.pdf">the latest CDD</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You may view the latest CDD either as an HTML web page or an easily downloadable PDF:
