Użycie „musi”, „nie wolno”, „wymagane”, „powinien”, „nie powinien”, „powinien”, „nie powinien”, „zalecane”, „może” i „opcjonalne” jest zgodne ze standardem IETF zdefiniowane w RFC2119 [ Zasoby, 1 ].

W niniejszym dokumencie „osoba wdrażająca urządzenie” lub „osoba wdrażająca” to osoba lub organizacja opracowująca rozwiązanie sprzętowe/programowe z systemem Android 4.0. „Implementacja urządzenia” lub „implementacja” to opracowane w ten sposób rozwiązanie sprzętowe/programowe.

Aby zostać uznane za zgodne z systemem Android 4.0, implementacje urządzeń MUSZĄ spełniać wymagania przedstawione w niniejszej definicji zgodności, w tym we wszelkich dokumentach włączonych przez odniesienie.

Jeśli ta definicja lub testy oprogramowania opisane w sekcji 10 są ciche, niejednoznaczne lub niekompletne, obowiązkiem dostawcy urządzenia jest zapewnienie zgodności z istniejącymi implementacjami.

Z tego powodu Android Open Source Project [ Zasoby, 3 ] jest zarówno referencyjną, jak i preferowaną implementacją Androida. Zdecydowanie zachęca się osoby wdrażające urządzenia do opierania swoich implementacji w jak największym stopniu na kodzie źródłowym „upstream” dostępnym w ramach projektu Android Open Source Project. Chociaż niektóre komponenty można hipotetycznie zastąpić alternatywnymi implementacjami, ta praktyka jest zdecydowanie odradzana, ponieważ przejście testów oprogramowania stanie się znacznie trudniejsze. Obowiązkiem osoby wdrażającej jest zapewnienie pełnej zgodności behawioralnej ze standardową implementacją systemu Android, w tym i poza pakietem testów zgodności. Na koniec należy zauważyć, że niniejszy dokument wyraźnie zabrania zastąpienia i modyfikacji niektórych komponentów.

W każdym przypadku, gdy niniejsza Definicja Zgodności lub Zestaw Testów Zgodności nie zgadza się z dokumentacją SDK, dokumentacja SDK jest uważana za miarodajną. Wszelkie szczegóły techniczne podane w powyższych odniesieniach są uważane przez włączenie za część niniejszej Definicji zgodności.

3. Oprogramowanie

3.1. Zarządzana kompatybilność API

Zarządzane (oparte na Dalvik) środowisko wykonawcze jest podstawowym nośnikiem aplikacji dla systemu Android. Interfejs programowania aplikacji (API) systemu Android to zestaw interfejsów platformy systemu Android, które są udostępniane aplikacjom działającym w zarządzanym środowisku maszyny wirtualnej. Implementacje urządzeń MUSZĄ zapewniać kompletne implementacje, w tym wszystkie udokumentowane zachowania, każdego udokumentowanego interfejsu API udostępnionego przez zestaw SDK Androida 4.0 [ Zasoby, 4 ].

Implementacje urządzeń NIE WOLNO pomijać żadnych zarządzanych interfejsów API, zmieniać interfejsów API lub sygnatur, odbiegać od udokumentowanego zachowania ani zawierać zakazu operacji, z wyjątkiem przypadków wyraźnie dozwolonych w niniejszej definicji zgodności.

Ta definicja zgodności zezwala na pominięcie niektórych typów sprzętu, dla których system Android zawiera interfejsy API, w implementacjach urządzeń. W takich przypadkach interfejsy API MUSZĄ nadal być obecne i zachowywać się w rozsądny sposób. Szczegółowe wymagania dotyczące tego scenariusza znajdują się w sekcji 7 .

3.2. Miękka kompatybilność API

Oprócz zarządzanych interfejsów API opisanych w sekcji 3.1 system Android zawiera również istotny „miękki” interfejs API działający tylko w czasie wykonywania, w postaci takich rzeczy, jak intencje, uprawnienia i podobne aspekty aplikacji systemu Android, których nie można wymusić w czasie kompilacji aplikacji.

3.2.1. Uprawnienia

Osoby wdrażające urządzenia MUSZĄ obsługiwać i egzekwować wszystkie stałe uprawnień zgodnie z dokumentacją na stronie referencyjnej dotyczącej uprawnień [ Zasoby, 5 ]. Należy pamiętać, że sekcja 10 zawiera listę dodatkowych wymagań związanych z modelem zabezpieczeń systemu Android.

3.2.3. Parametry budowy

Interfejsy API systemu Android zawierają szereg stałych w klasie android.os.Build [ Resources, 6 ], które mają opisywać bieżące urządzenie. Aby zapewnić spójne, znaczące wartości we wszystkich implementacjach urządzeń, poniższa tabela zawiera dodatkowe ograniczenia dotyczące formatów tych wartości, z którymi implementacje urządzeń MUSZĄ być zgodne.

3.2.3. Zgodność intencji

Implementacje urządzeń MUSZĄ uwzględniać luźno powiązany system Intent Androida, zgodnie z opisem w poniższych sekcjach. Przez „honorowane” rozumie się, że osoba wdrażająca urządzenie MUSI zapewnić działanie lub usługę Androida, które określają pasujący filtr intencji oraz wiążą się i implementują prawidłowe zachowanie dla każdego określonego wzorca intencji.

3.2.3.1. Podstawowe intencje aplikacji

Projekt nadrzędny Androida definiuje szereg podstawowych aplikacji, takich jak kontakty, kalendarz, galeria zdjęć, odtwarzacz muzyki i tak dalej. Osoby wdrażające urządzenia MOGĄ zastąpić te aplikacje wersjami alternatywnymi.

Jednak wszelkie takie alternatywne wersje MUSZĄ honorować te same wzorce intencji, które zapewnia projekt poprzedzający. Na przykład, jeśli urządzenie zawiera alternatywny odtwarzacz muzyki, nadal musi przestrzegać wzorca intencji wydawanego przez aplikacje innych firm, aby wybrać utwór.

Następujące aplikacje są uważane za podstawowe aplikacje systemu Android:

Zegar biurkowy
Przeglądarka
Kalendarz
Łączność
Galeria
Wyszukiwanie globalne
Wyrzutnia
Muzyka
Ustawienia

Podstawowe aplikacje systemu Android obejmują różne komponenty Aktywności lub Usługi, które są uważane za „publiczne”. Oznacza to, że atrybut „android:exported” może być nieobecny lub może mieć wartość „true”.

W przypadku każdej czynności lub usługi zdefiniowanej w jednej z podstawowych aplikacji systemu Android, która nie jest oznaczona jako niepubliczna za pomocą atrybutu android:exported o wartości „false”, implementacje urządzenia MUSZĄ zawierać komponent tego samego typu, implementujący ten sam filtr intencji wzorce jako podstawowa aplikacja systemu Android.

Innymi słowy, implementacja urządzenia MOŻE zastąpić podstawowe aplikacje systemu Android; jeśli jednak tak jest, implementacja urządzenia MUSI obsługiwać wszystkie wzorce intencji zdefiniowane przez każdą wymienianą podstawową aplikację systemu Android.

3.2.3.2. Zastąpienia intencji

Ponieważ system Android jest platformą rozszerzalną, implementacje urządzeń MUSZĄ umożliwiać zastąpienie każdego wzorca intencji, o którym mowa w sekcji 3.2.3.2, przez aplikacje innych firm. Implementacja open source Androida na wyższym poziomie pozwala na to domyślnie; osoby wdrażające urządzenia NIE MOGĄ przypisywać specjalnych uprawnień aplikacjom systemowym do korzystania z tych wzorców Intent ani uniemożliwiać aplikacjom innych firm wiązanie się z tymi wzorcami i przejmowanie nad nimi kontroli. Zakaz ten w szczególności obejmuje, ale nie ogranicza się do wyłączania interfejsu użytkownika „Chooser”, który umożliwia użytkownikowi wybór między wieloma aplikacjami obsługującymi ten sam wzorzec intencji.

3.2.3.3. Przestrzenie nazw intencji

Implementacje urządzeń NIE MOGĄ zawierać żadnego komponentu Androida, który honoruje nowe wzorce Intent lub Broadcast Intent za pomocą DZIAŁANIA, KATEGORII lub innego ciągu klucza w przestrzeni nazw android.* lub com.android.*. Osoby wdrażające urządzenia NIE MOGĄ dołączać żadnych komponentów Androida, które honorują nowe wzorce Intent lub Broadcast Intent przy użyciu DZIAŁANIA, KATEGORII lub innego ciągu klucza w przestrzeni pakietu należącej do innej organizacji. Osoby wdrażające urządzenia NIE MOGĄ zmieniać ani rozszerzać żadnych wzorców intencji używanych przez podstawowe aplikacje wymienione w sekcji 3.2.3.1. Implementacje urządzeń MOGĄ obejmować wzorce intencji wykorzystujące przestrzenie nazw wyraźnie i wyraźnie powiązane z ich własną organizacją.

Zakaz ten jest analogiczny do zakazu określonego dla klas języka Java w punkcie 3.6.

3.2.3.4. Intencje transmisji

Aplikacje innych firm polegają na platformie, aby rozgłaszać określone intencje, aby powiadamiać je o zmianach w środowisku sprzętowym lub programowym. Urządzenia kompatybilne z systemem Android MUSZĄ transmitować intencje publicznej transmisji w odpowiedzi na odpowiednie zdarzenia systemowe. Intencje rozgłaszania są opisane w dokumentacji SDK.

3.3. Natywna kompatybilność API

3.3.1 Binarne interfejsy aplikacji

Kod zarządzany działający w Dalvik może odwoływać się do kodu natywnego dostarczonego w pliku .apk aplikacji jako plik ELF .so skompilowany dla odpowiedniej architektury sprzętowej urządzenia. Ponieważ kod natywny jest w dużym stopniu zależny od podstawowej technologii procesora, system Android definiuje szereg interfejsów binarnych aplikacji (ABI) w pakiecie NDK systemu Android w pliku docs/CPU-ARCH-ABIS.txt . Jeśli implementacja urządzenia jest kompatybilna z co najmniej jednym zdefiniowanym ABI, POWINNA implementować kompatybilność z Android NDK, jak poniżej.

Jeśli implementacja urządzenia obejmuje obsługę interfejsu ABI Androida, to:

MUSI obejmować obsługę kodu uruchomionego w środowisku zarządzanym w celu wywołania kodu natywnego przy użyciu standardowej semantyki Java Native Interface (JNI).
MUSI być kompatybilna ze źródłami (tj. kompatybilna z nagłówkami) i kompatybilna binarnie (dla ABI) z każdą wymaganą biblioteką z poniższej listy
MUSI dokładnie zgłaszać natywny interfejs binarny aplikacji (ABI) obsługiwany przez urządzenie za pośrednictwem interfejsu API android.os.Build.CPU_ABI
MUSZĄ zgłaszać tylko te ABI udokumentowane w najnowszej wersji NDK Androida w pliku docs/CPU-ARCH-ABIS.txt
POWINIEN być zbudowany przy użyciu kodu źródłowego i plików nagłówkowych dostępnych w projekcie open source dla Androida

Następujące interfejsy API kodu natywnego MUSZĄ być dostępne dla aplikacji zawierających kod natywny:

libc (biblioteka C)
libm (biblioteka matematyczna)
Minimalne wsparcie dla C++
Interfejs JNI
liblog (rejestrowanie Androida)
libz (kompresja Zlib)
libdl (dynamiczny linker)
libGLESv1_CM.so (OpenGL ES 1.0)
libGLESv2.so (OpenGL ES 2.0)
libEGL.so (natywne zarządzanie powierzchnią OpenGL)
libjnigraphics.so
libOpenSLES.so (obsługa dźwięku OpenSL ES 1.0.1)
libOpenMAXAL.so (obsługa OpenMAX AL 1.0.1)
libandroid.so (natywna obsługa aktywności Androida)
Obsługa OpenGL, jak opisano poniżej

Pamiętaj, że przyszłe wersje Android NDK mogą wprowadzić obsługę dodatkowych interfejsów ABI. Jeśli implementacja urządzenia nie jest kompatybilna z istniejącym predefiniowanym ABI, NIE MOŻE w ogóle zgłaszać obsługi żadnego ABI.

Kompatybilność kodu natywnego jest wyzwaniem. Z tego powodu należy powtórzyć, że osoby wdrażające urządzenia są BARDZO mocno zachęcane do korzystania z wcześniejszych implementacji bibliotek wymienionych powyżej w celu zapewnienia kompatybilności.

3.4. Kompatybilność internetowa

3.4.1. Zgodność z WebView

Implementacja Android Open Source używa silnika renderowania WebKit do implementacji android.webkit.WebView . Ponieważ nie jest możliwe opracowanie kompleksowego zestawu testów dla systemu renderowania stron internetowych, osoby wdrażające urządzenia MUSZĄ korzystać z określonej wcześniejszej wersji WebKit w implementacji WebView. Konkretnie:

Implementacje android.webkit.WebView implementacji urządzeń MUSZĄ być oparte na kompilacji 534.30 WebKit z nadrzędnego drzewa Android Open Source dla Androida 4.0. Ta kompilacja zawiera określony zestaw funkcji i poprawek zabezpieczeń dla WebView. Osoby wdrażające urządzenia MOGĄ uwzględniać dostosowania do implementacji WebKit; jednak żadne takie dostosowania NIE WOLNO zmieniać zachowania WebView, w tym zachowania podczas renderowania.
Ciąg agenta użytkownika zgłoszony przez WebView MUSI mieć ten format:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android $(VERSION); $(LOCALE); $(MODEL) Build/$(BUILD)) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30
- Wartość ciągu $(VERSION) MUSI być taka sama jak wartość dla android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE
- Wartość ciągu $(LOCALE) POWINNA być zgodna z konwencjami ISO dotyczącymi kodu kraju i języka oraz POWINNA odnosić się do aktualnie skonfigurowanej lokalizacji urządzenia
- Wartość ciągu $(MODEL) MUSI być taka sama jak wartość dla android.os.Build.MODEL
- Wartość ciągu $(BUILD) MUSI być taka sama jak wartość dla android.os.Build.ID

Komponent WebView POWINIEN obsługiwać jak najwięcej HTML5 [ Resources, 11 ] . Minimalnie implementacje urządzeń MUSZĄ obsługiwać każdy z tych interfejsów API powiązanych z HTML5 w WebView:

pamięć podręczna aplikacji/działanie offline [ Zasoby, 12 ]
tag <wideo> [ Zasoby, 13 ]
geolokalizacja [ Zasoby, 14 ]

Ponadto implementacje urządzeń MUSZĄ obsługiwać interfejs API Webstorage HTML5/W3C [ Zasoby, 15 ] i POWINNY obsługiwać interfejs API HTML5/W3C IndexedDB [ Zasoby, 16 ]. Należy pamiętać, że w miarę jak organy ds. standardów rozwoju sieci przechodzą na faworyzowanie IndexedDB zamiast pamięci masowej, oczekuje się, że IndexedDB stanie się wymaganym komponentem w przyszłej wersji Androida.

Interfejsy API HTML5, podobnie jak wszystkie interfejsy API JavaScript, MUSZĄ być domyślnie wyłączone w widoku WebView, chyba że programista wyraźnie je włączy za pośrednictwem zwykłych interfejsów API systemu Android.

3.4.2. Kompatybilność przeglądarki

Implementacje urządzeń MUSZĄ obejmować samodzielną aplikację przeglądarki do przeglądania sieci przez zwykłych użytkowników. Samodzielna przeglądarka MOŻE być oparta na technologii przeglądarki innej niż WebKit. Jednak nawet jeśli używana jest alternatywna przeglądarka, komponent android.webkit.WebView udostępniany aplikacjom stron trzecich MUSI być oparty na WebKit, jak opisano w sekcji 3.4.1.

Implementacje MOGĄ dostarczać niestandardowy ciąg agenta użytkownika w samodzielnej aplikacji przeglądarki.

Samodzielna aplikacja przeglądarki (niezależnie od tego, czy jest oparta na pierwotnej aplikacji WebKit Browser, czy na zamienniku innej firmy) POWINNA obsługiwać jak najwięcej HTML5 [ Zasoby, 11 ]. Minimalnie implementacje urządzeń MUSZĄ obsługiwać każdy z tych interfejsów API powiązanych z HTML5:

pamięć podręczna aplikacji/działanie offline [ Zasoby, 12 ]
tag <wideo> [ Zasoby, 13 ]
geolokalizacja [ Zasoby, 14 ]

3.5. Kompatybilność behawioralna API

Zachowania każdego z typów API (zarządzane, miękkie, natywne i sieciowe) muszą być zgodne z preferowaną implementacją nadrzędnego projektu open source Androida [ Zasoby, 3 ]. Niektóre określone obszary kompatybilności to:

Urządzenia NIE MOGĄ zmieniać zachowania ani semantyki standardowej Intencji
Urządzenia NIE WOLNO zmieniać cyklu życia lub semantyki cyklu życia określonego typu komponentu systemu (takiego jak usługa, działanie, dostawca treści itp.)
Urządzenia NIE MOGĄ zmieniać semantyki uprawnień standardowych

Powyższa lista nie jest wyczerpująca. Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) testuje znaczną część platformy pod kątem kompatybilności behawioralnej, ale nie wszystkie. Odpowiedzialność za zapewnienie zgodności behawioralnej z projektem Android Open Source spoczywa na wdrożeniowcu. Z tego powodu osoby wdrażające urządzenia POWINNY w miarę możliwości korzystać z kodu źródłowego dostępnego w ramach projektu Android Open Source Project, zamiast ponownie wdrażać istotne części systemu.

3.6. Przestrzenie nazw API

Android przestrzega konwencji przestrzeni nazw pakietów i klas zdefiniowanych przez język programowania Java. Aby zapewnić kompatybilność z aplikacjami innych firm, osoby wdrażające urządzenia NIE MOGĄ dokonywać żadnych zabronionych modyfikacji (patrz poniżej) w tych przestrzeniach nazw pakietów:

Jawa.*
javax.*
słońce.*
android.*
com.android.*

Zabronione modyfikacje obejmują:

Implementacje urządzeń NIE MOGĄ modyfikować publicznie dostępnych interfejsów API na platformie Android poprzez zmianę jakichkolwiek sygnatur metod lub klas lub usuwanie klas lub pól klas.
Osoby wdrażające urządzenia MOGĄ modyfikować podstawową implementację interfejsów API, ale takie modyfikacje NIE MOGĄ wpływać na deklarowane zachowanie i sygnaturę języka Java jakichkolwiek publicznie dostępnych interfejsów API.
Osoby wdrażające urządzenia NIE MOGĄ dodawać żadnych publicznie dostępnych elementów (takich jak klasy lub interfejsy albo pola lub metody do istniejących klas lub interfejsów) do powyższych interfejsów API.

„Publicznie widoczny element” to dowolna konstrukcja, która nie jest ozdobiona znacznikiem „@hide” używanym w kodzie źródłowym Androida. Innymi słowy, osoby wdrażające urządzenia NIE MOGĄ ujawniać nowych interfejsów API ani zmieniać istniejących interfejsów API w obszarach nazw wymienionych powyżej. Osoby wdrażające urządzenia MOGĄ wprowadzać tylko wewnętrzne modyfikacje, ale modyfikacje te NIE MOGĄ być reklamowane ani w inny sposób udostępniane programistom.

Osoby wdrażające urządzenia MOGĄ dodawać niestandardowe interfejsy API, ale żadne takie interfejsy API NIE MOGĄ znajdować się w przestrzeni nazw należącej do innej organizacji lub odwołującej się do innej organizacji. Na przykład osoby wdrażające urządzenia NIE MOGĄ dodawać interfejsów API do przestrzeni nazw com.google.* lub podobnej; może to zrobić tylko Google. Podobnie Google NIE MOŻE dodawać interfejsów API do przestrzeni nazw innych firm. Ponadto, jeśli implementacja urządzenia zawiera niestandardowe interfejsy API poza standardową przestrzenią nazw systemu Android, te interfejsy API MUSZĄ być spakowane w bibliotece współdzielonej systemu Android, tak aby tylko aplikacje, które jawnie ich używają (za pośrednictwem mechanizmu <uses-library> ), były dotknięte zwiększonym zużyciem pamięci takich interfejsów API.

Jeśli osoba wdrażająca urządzenie zaproponuje ulepszenie jednej z powyższych przestrzeni nazw pakietów (np. dodając przydatną nową funkcjonalność do istniejącego interfejsu API lub dodając nowy interfejs API), osoba wdrażająca POWINIEN odwiedzić witrynę source.android.com i rozpocząć proces wprowadzania zmian i kod, zgodnie z informacjami na tej stronie.

Należy zauważyć, że powyższe ograniczenia odpowiadają standardowym konwencjom nazewnictwa interfejsów API w języku programowania Java; ta sekcja ma na celu jedynie wzmocnienie tych konwencji i uczynienie ich wiążącymi poprzez włączenie do tej definicji zgodności.

3.7. Kompatybilność maszyn wirtualnych

Implementacje urządzeń MUSZĄ obsługiwać pełną specyfikację kodu bajtowego Dalvik Executable (DEX) i semantykę Dalvik Virtual Machine [ Zasoby, 17 ].

Implementacje urządzeń MUSZĄ skonfigurować Dalvik do przydzielania pamięci zgodnie z nadrzędną platformą Android i zgodnie z poniższą tabelą. (Patrz Sekcja 7.1.1 , aby zapoznać się z definicjami rozmiarów i gęstości ekranu).

Należy pamiętać, że podane poniżej wartości pamięci są uważane za wartości minimalne, a implementacje urządzeń MOGĄ przydzielać więcej pamięci na aplikację.

Rozmiar ekranu	Gęstość ekranu	Pamięć aplikacji
mały / normalny / duży	ldpi / mdpi	16MB
mały / normalny / duży	tvdpi / hdpi	32MB
small / normal / large	xhdpi	64MB
xlarge	mdpi	32MB
xlarge	tvdpi / hdpi	64MB
xlarge	xhdpi	128MB

3.8. User Interface Compatibility

3.8.1. Widgets

Android defines a component type and corresponding API and lifecycle that allows applications to expose an "AppWidget" to the end user [ Resources, 18 ]. The Android Open Source reference release includes a Launcher application that includes user interface affordances allowing the user to add, view, and remove AppWidgets from the home screen.

Device implementations MAY substitute an alternative to the reference Launcher (ie home screen). Alternative Launchers SHOULD include built-in support for AppWidgets, and expose user interface affordances to add, configure, view, and remove AppWidgets directly within the Launcher. Alternative Launchers MAY omit these user interface elements; however, if they are omitted, the device implementation MUST provide a separate application accessible from the Launcher that allows users to add, configure, view, and remove AppWidgets.

Device implementations MUST be capable of rendering widgets that are 4 x 4 in the standard grid size. (See the App Widget Design Guidelines in the Android SDK documentation [ Resources, 18 ] for details.

3.8.2. Notifications

Android includes APIs that allow developers to notify users of notable events [ Resources, 19 ], using hardware and software features of the device.

Some APIs allow applications to perform notifications or attract attention using hardware, specifically sound, vibration, and light. Device implementations MUST support notifications that use hardware features, as described in the SDK documentation, and to the extent possible with the device implementation hardware. For instance, if a device implementation includes a vibrator, it MUST correctly implement the vibration APIs. If a device implementation lacks hardware, the corresponding APIs MUST be implemented as no-ops. Note that this behavior is further detailed in Section 7.

Additionally, the implementation MUST correctly render all resources (icons, sound files, etc.) provided for in the APIs [ Resources, 20 ], or in the Status/System Bar icon style guide [ Resources, 21 ]. Device implementers MAY provide an alternative user experience for notifications than that provided by the reference Android Open Source implementation; however, such alternative notification systems MUST support existing notification resources, as above.

Android 4.0 includes support for rich notifications, such as interactive Views for ongoing notifications. Device implementations MUST properly display and execute rich notifications, as documented in the Android APIs.

3.8.3. Search

Android includes APIs [ Resources, 22 ] that allow developers to incorporate search into their applications, and expose their application's data into the global system search. Generally speaking, this functionality consists of a single, system-wide user interface that allows users to enter queries, displays suggestions as users type, and displays results. The Android APIs allow developers to reuse this interface to provide search within their own apps, and allow developers to supply results to the common global search user interface.

Device implementations MUST include a single, shared, system-wide search user interface capable of real-time suggestions in response to user input. Device implementations MUST implement the APIs that allow developers to reuse this user interface to provide search within their own applications. Device implementations MUST implement the APIs that allow third-party applications to add suggestions to the search box when it is run in global search mode. If no third-party applications are installed that make use of this functionality, the default behavior SHOULD be to display web search engine results and suggestions.

3.8.4. Toasts

Applications can use the "Toast" API (defined in [ Resources, 23 ]) to display short non-modal strings to the end user, that disappear after a brief period of time. Device implementations MUST display Toasts from applications to end users in some high-visibility manner.

3.8.5. Themes

Android provides "themes" as a mechanism for applications to apply styles across an entire Activity or application. Android 3.0 introduced a new "Holo" or "holographic" theme as a set of defined styles for application developers to use if they want to match the Holo theme look and feel as defined by the Android SDK [ Resources, 24 ]. Device implementations MUST NOT alter any of the Holo theme attributes exposed to applications [ Resources, 25 ].

Android 4.0 introduces a new "Device Default" theme as a set of defined styles for application developers to use if they want to match the look and feel of the device theme as defined by the device implementer. Device implementations MAY modify the DeviceDefault theme attributes exposed to applications [ Resources, 25 ].

3.8.6. Live Wallpapers

Android defines a component type and corresponding API and lifecycle that allows applications to expose one or more "Live Wallpapers" to the end user [ Resources, 26 ]. Live Wallpapers are animations, patterns, or similar images with limited input capabilities that display as a wallpaper, behind other applications.

Hardware is considered capable of reliably running live wallpapers if it can run all live wallpapers, with no limitations on functionality, at a reasonable framerate with no adverse affects on other applications. If limitations in the hardware cause wallpapers and/or applications to crash, malfunction, consume excessive CPU or battery power, or run at unacceptably low frame rates, the hardware is considered incapable of running live wallpaper. As an example, some live wallpapers may use an Open GL 1.0 or 2.0 context to render their content. Live wallpaper will not run reliably on hardware that does not support multiple OpenGL contexts because the live wallpaper use of an OpenGL context may conflict with other applications that also use an OpenGL context.

Device implementations capable of running live wallpapers reliably as described above SHOULD implement live wallpapers. Device implementations determined to not run live wallpapers reliably as described above MUST NOT implement live wallpapers.

3.8.7. Recent Application Display

The upstream Android 4.0 source code includes a user interface for displaying recent applications using a thumbnail image of the application's graphical state at the moment the user last left the application. Device implementations MAY alter or eliminate this user interface; however, a future version of Android is planned to make more extensive use of this functionality. Device implementations are strongly encouraged to use the upstream Android 4.0 user interface (or a similar thumbnail-based interface) for recent applications, or else they may not be compatible with a future version of Android.

3.8.8. Input Management Settings

Android 4.0 includes support for Input Management Engines. The Android 4.0 APIs allow custom app IMEs to specify user-tunable settings. Device implementations MUST include a way for the user to access IME settings at all times when an IME that provides such user settings is displayed.

3.9 Device Administration

Android 4.0 includes features that allow security-aware applications to perform device administration functions at the system level, such as enforcing password policies or performing remote wipe, through the Android Device Administration API [ Resources, 27 ]. Device implementations MUST provide an implementation of the DevicePolicyManager class [ Resources, 28 ], and SHOULD support the full range of device administration policies defined in the Android SDK documentation [ Resources, 27 ].

If device implementations do not support the full range of device administration policies, they MUST NOT allow device administration applications to be enabled. Specifically, if a device does not support all device administration policies, the device implementation MUST respond to the android.app.admin.DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_ADD_DEVICE_ADMIN intent, but MUST display a message notifying the user that the device does not support device administration.

3.10 Accessibility

Android 4.0 provides an accessibility layer that helps users with disabilities to navigate their devices more easily. In addition, Android 4.0 provides platform APIs that enable accessibility service implementations to receive callbacks for user and system events and generate alternate feedback mechanisms, such as text-to-speech, haptic feedback, and trackball/d-pad navigation [ Resources, 29 ]. Device implementations MUST provide an implementation of the Android accessibility framework consistent with the default Android implementation. Specifically, device implementations MUST meet the following requirements.

Device implementations MUST support third party accessibility service implementations through the android.accessibilityservice APIs [ Resources, 30 ].
Device implementations MUST generate AccessibilityEvent s and deliver these events to all registered AccessibilityService implementations in a manner consistent with the default Android implementation.
Device implementations MUST provide a user-accessible mechanism to enable and disable accessibility services, and MUST display this interface in response to the android.provider.Settings.ACTION_ACCESSIBILITY_SETTINGS intent.

Additionally, device implementations SHOULD provide an implementation of an accessibility service on the device, and SHOULD provide a mechanism for users to enable the accessibility service during device setup. An open source implementation of an accessibility service is available from the Eyes Free project [ Resources, 31 ].

3.11 Text-to-Speech

Android 4.0 includes APIs that allow applications to make use of text-to-speech (TTS) services, and allows service providers to provide implementations of TTS services [ Resources, 32 ]. Device implementations MUST meet these requirements related to the Android TTS framework:

Device implementations MUST support the Android TTS framework APIs and SHOULD include a TTS engine supporting the languages available on the device. Note that the upstream Android open source software includes a full-featured TTS engine implementation.
Device implementations MUST support installation of third-party TTS engines.
Device implementations MUST provide a user-accessible interface that allows users to select a TTS engine for use at the system level.

4. Application Packaging Compatibility

Device implementations MUST install and run Android ".apk" files as generated by the "aapt" tool included in the official Android SDK [ Resources, 33 ].

Devices implementations MUST NOT extend either the .apk [ Resources, 34 ], Android Manifest [ Resources, 35 ], Dalvik bytecode [ Resources, 17 ], or renderscript bytecode formats in such a way that would prevent those files from installing and running correctly on other compatible devices. Device implementers SHOULD use the reference upstream implementation of Dalvik, and the reference implementation's package management system.

5. Multimedia Compatibility

Device implementations MUST include at least one form of audio output, such as speakers, headphone jack, external speaker connection, etc.

5.1. Media Codecs

Device implementations MUST support the core media formats specified in the Android SDK documentation [ Resources, 58 ] except where explicitly permitted in this document. Specifically, device implementations MUST support the media formats, encoders, decoders, file types and container formats defined in the tables below. All of these codecs are provided as software implementations in the preferred Android implementation from the Android Open Source Project.

Please note that neither Google nor the Open Handset Alliance make any representation that these codecs are unencumbered by third-party patents. Those intending to use this source code in hardware or software products are advised that implementations of this code, including in open source software or shareware, may require patent licenses from the relevant patent holders.

Note that these tables do not list specific bitrate requirements for most video codecs because current device hardware does not necessarily support bitrates that map exactly to the required bitrates specified by the relevant standards. Instead, device implementations SHOULD support the highest bitrate practical on the hardware, up to the limits defined by the specifications.

5.2 Video Encoding

Android device implementations that include a rear-facing camera and declare android.hardware.camera SHOULD support the following video encoding profiles.

	SD (Low quality)	SD (High quality)	HD (When supported by hardware)
Video codec	H.264 Baseline Profile	H.264 Baseline Profile	H.264 Baseline Profile
Video resolution	176 x 144 px	480 x 360 px	1280 x 720 px

Audio codec	AAC-LC	AAC-LC	AAC-LC
Audio channels	1 (mono)	2 (stereo)	2 (stereo)
Audio bitrate	24 Kbps	128 Kbps	192 Kbps

5.3. Audio Recording

When an application has used the android.media.AudioRecord API to start recording an audio stream, device implementations that include microphone hardware and declare android.hardware.microphone MUST sample and record audio with each of these behaviors:

The device SHOULD exhibit approximately flat amplitude versus frequency characteristics; specifically, ±3 dB, from 100 Hz to 4000 Hz
Audio input sensitivity SHOULD be set such that a 90 dB sound power level (SPL) source at 1000 Hz yields RMS of 2500 for 16-bit samples.
PCM amplitude levels SHOULD linearly track input SPL changes over at least a 30 dB range from -18 dB to +12 dB re 90 dB SPL at the microphone.
Total harmonic distortion SHOULD be less than 1% from 100 Hz to 4000 Hz at 90 dB SPL input level.

In addition to the above recording specifications, when an application has started recording an audio stream using the android.media.MediaRecorder.AudioSource.VOICE_RECOGNITION audio source:

Noise reduction processing, if present, MUST be disabled.
Automatic gain control, if present, MUST be disabled.

Note: while some of the requirements outlined above are stated as "SHOULD" for Android 4.0, the Compatibility Definition for a future version is planned to change these to "MUST". That is, these requirements are optional in Android 4.0 but will be required by a future version. Existing and new devices that run Android 4.0 are very strongly encouraged to meet these requirements in Android 4.0 , or they will not be able to attain Android compatibility when upgraded to the future version.

5.4. Audio Latency

Audio latency is broadly defined as the interval between when an application requests an audio playback or record operation, and when the device implementation actually begins the operation. Many classes of applications rely on short latencies, to achieve real-time effects such sound effects or VOIP communication. Device implementations that include microphone hardware and declare android.hardware.microphone SHOULD meet all audio latency requirements outlined in this section. See Section 7 for details on the conditions under which microphone hardware may be omitted by device implementations.

For the purposes of this section:

"cold output latency" is defined to be the interval between when an application requests audio playback and when sound begins playing, when the audio system has been idle and powered down prior to the request
"warm output latency" is defined to be the interval between when an application requests audio playback and when sound begins playing, when the audio system has been recently used but is currently idle (that is, silent)
"continuous output latency" is defined to be the interval between when an application issues a sample to be played and when the speaker physically plays the corresponding sound, while the device is currently playing back audio
"cold input latency" is defined to be the interval between when an application requests audio recording and when the first sample is delivered to the application via its callback, when the audio system and microphone has been idle and powered down prior to the request
"continuous input latency" is defined to be when an ambient sound occurs and when the sample corresponding to that sound is delivered to a recording application via its callback, while the device is in recording mode

Using the above definitions, device implementations SHOULD exhibit each of these properties:

cold output latency of 100 milliseconds or less
warm output latency of 10 milliseconds or less
continuous output latency of 45 milliseconds or less
cold input latency of 100 milliseconds or less
continuous input latency of 50 milliseconds or less

Note: while the requirements outlined above are stated as "SHOULD" for Android 4.0, the Compatibility Definition for a future version is planned to change these to "MUST". That is, these requirements are optional in Android 4.0 but will be required by a future version. Existing and new devices that run Android 4.0 are very strongly encouraged to meet these requirements in Android 4.0 , or they will not be able to attain Android compatibility when upgraded to the future version.

If a device implementation meets the requirements of this section, it MAY report support for low-latency audio, by reporting the feature "android.hardware.audio.low-latency" via the android.content.pm.PackageManager class. [ Resources, 37 ] Conversely, if the device implementation does not meet these requirements it MUST NOT report support for low-latency audio.

5.5. Network Protocols

Devices MUST support the media network protocols for audio and video playback as specified in the Android SDK documentation [ Resources, 58 ]. Specifically, devices MUST support the following media network protocols:

RTSP (RTP, SDP)
HTTP(S) progressive streaming
HTTP(S) Live Streaming draft protocol, Version 3 [ Resources, 59 ]

6. Developer Tool Compatibility

Device implementations MUST support the Android Developer Tools provided in the Android SDK. Specifically, Android-compatible devices MUST be compatible with:

Android Debug Bridge (known as adb) [ Resources, 33 ]
Device implementations MUST support all adb functions as documented in the Android SDK. The device-side adb daemon MUST be inactive by default, and there MUST be a user-accessible mechanism to turn on the Android Debug Bridge.
Dalvik Debug Monitor Service (known as ddms) [ Resources, 33 ]
Device implementations MUST support all ddms features as documented in the Android SDK. As ddms uses adb , support for ddms SHOULD be inactive by default, but MUST be supported whenever the user has activated the Android Debug Bridge, as above.
Monkey [ Resources, 36 ]
Device implementations MUST include the Monkey framework, and make it available for applications to use.

Most Linux-based systems and Apple Macintosh systems recognize Android devices using the standard Android SDK tools, without additional support; however Microsoft Windows systems typically require a driver for new Android devices. (For instance, new vendor IDs and sometimes new device IDs require custom USB drivers for Windows systems.) If a device implementation is unrecognized by the adb tool as provided in the standard Android SDK, device implementers MUST provide Windows drivers allowing developers to connect to the device using the adb protocol. These drivers MUST be provided for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7, in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

7. Hardware Compatibility

If a device includes a particular hardware component that has a corresponding API for third-party developers, the device implementation MUST implement that API as described in the Android SDK documentation. If an API in the SDK interacts with a hardware component that is stated to be optional and the device implementation does not possess that component:

complete class definitions (as documented by the SDK) for the component's APIs MUST still be present
the API's behaviors MUST be implemented as no-ops in some reasonable fashion
API methods MUST return null values where permitted by the SDK documentation
API methods MUST return no-op implementations of classes where null values are not permitted by the SDK documentation
API methods MUST NOT throw exceptions not documented by the SDK documentation

A typical example of a scenario where these requirements apply is the telephony API: even on non-phone devices, these APIs must be implemented as reasonable no-ops.

Device implementations MUST accurately report accurate hardware configuration information via the getSystemAvailableFeatures() and hasSystemFeature(String) methods on the android.content.pm.PackageManager class. [ Resources, 37 ]

7.1. Display and Graphics

Android 4.0 includes facilities that automatically adjust application assets and UI layouts appropriately for the device, to ensure that third-party applications run well on a variety of hardware configurations [ Resources, 38 ]. Devices MUST properly implement these APIs and behaviors, as detailed in this section.

The units referenced by the requirements in this section are defined as follows:

"Physical diagonal size" is the distance in inches between two opposing corners of the illuminated portion of the display.
"dpi" (meaning "dots per inch") is the number of pixels encompassed by a linear horizontal or vertical span of 1". Where dpi values are listed, both horizontal and vertical dpi must fall within the range.
"Aspect ratio" is the ratio of the longer dimension of the screen to the shorter dimension. For example, a display of 480x854 pixels would be 854 / 480 = 1.779, or roughly "16:9".
A "density-independent pixel" or ("dp") is the virtual pixel unit normalized to a 160 dpi screen, calculated as: pixels = dps * (density / 160) .

7.1.1. Screen Configuration

Screen Size

The Android UI framework supports a variety of different screen sizes, and allows applications to query the device screen size (aka "screen layout") via android.content.res.Configuration.screenLayout with the SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK . Device implementations MUST report the correct screen size as defined in the Android SDK documentation [ Resources, 38 ] and determined by the upstream Android platform. Specifically, device implementations must report the correct screen size according to the following logical density-independent pixel (dp) screen dimensions.

Devices MUST have screen sizes of at least 426 dp x 320 dp ('small')
Devices that report screen size 'normal' MUST have screen sizes of at least 470 dp x 320 dp
Devices that report screen size 'large' MUST have screen sizes of at least 640 dp x 480 dp
Devices that report screen size 'xlarge' MUST have screen sizes of at least 960 dp x 720 dp

In addition, devices MUST have screen sizes of at least 2.5 inches in physical diagonal size.

Devices MUST NOT change their reported screen size at any time.

Applications optionally indicate which screen sizes they support via the <supports-screens> attribute in the AndroidManifest.xml file. Device implementations MUST correctly honor applications' stated support for small, normal, large, and xlarge screens, as described in the Android SDK documentation.

Screen Aspect Ratio

The aspect ratio MUST be between 1.3333 (4:3) and 1.85 (16:9).

Screen Density

The Android UI framework defines a set of standard logical densities to help application developers target application resources. Device implementations MUST report one of the following logical Android framework densities through the android.util.DisplayMetrics APIs, and MUST execute applications at this standard density.

120 dpi, known as 'ldpi'
160 dpi, known as 'mdpi'
213 dpi, known as 'tvdpi'
240 dpi, known as 'hdpi'
320 dpi, known as 'xhdpi'

Device implementations SHOULD define the standard Android framework density that is numerically closest to the physical density of the screen, unless that logical density pushes the reported screen size below the minimum supported. If the standard Android framework density that is numerically closest to the physical density results in a screen size that is smaller than the smallest supported compatible screen size (320 dp width), device implementations SHOULD report the next lowest standard Android framework density.

7.1.2. Display Metrics

Device implementations MUST report correct values for all display metrics defined in android.util.DisplayMetrics [ Resources, 39 ].

7.1.3. Screen Orientation

Devices MUST support dynamic orientation by applications to either portrait or landscape screen orientation. That is, the device must respect the application's request for a specific screen orientation. Device implementations MAY select either portrait or landscape orientation as the default.

Devices MUST report the correct value for the device's current orientation, whenever queried via the android.content.res.Configuration.orientation, android.view.Display.getOrientation(), or other APIs.

Devices MUST NOT change the reported screen size or density when changing orientation.

Devices MUST report which screen orientations they support ( android.hardware.screen.portrait and/or android.hardware.screen.landscape ) and MUST report at least one supported orientation. For example, a device with a fixed-orientation landscape screen, such as a television or laptop, MUST only report android.hardware.screen.landscape .

7.1.4. 2D and 3D Graphics Acceleration

Device implementations MUST support both OpenGL ES 1.0 and 2.0, as embodied and detailed in the Android SDK documentations. Device implementations MUST also support Android Renderscript, as detailed in the Android SDK documentation [ Resources, 8 ].

Device implementations MUST also correctly identify themselves as supporting OpenGL ES 1.0 and 2.0. That is:

The managed APIs (such as via the GLES10.getString() method) MUST report support for OpenGL ES 1.0 and 2.0
The native C/C++ OpenGL APIs (that is, those available to apps via libGLES_v1CM.so, libGLES_v2.so, or libEGL.so) MUST report support for OpenGL ES 1.0 and 2.0.

Device implementations MAY implement any desired OpenGL ES extensions. However, device implementations MUST report via the OpenGL ES managed and native APIs all extension strings that they do support, and conversely MUST NOT report extension strings that they do not support.

Note that Android 4.0 includes support for applications to optionally specify that they require specific OpenGL texture compression formats. These formats are typically vendor-specific. Device implementations are not required by Android 4.0 to implement any specific texture compression format. However, they SHOULD accurately report any texture compression formats that they do support, via the getString() method in the OpenGL API.

Android 3.0 introduced a mechanism for applications to declare that they wanted to enable hardware acceleration for 2D graphics at the Application, Activity, Window or View level through the use of a manifest tag android:hardwareAccelerated or direct API calls [ Resources, 9 ].

In Android 4.0, device implementations MUST enable hardware acceleration by default, and MUST disable hardware acceleration if the developer so requests by setting android:hardwareAccelerated="false" or disabling hardware acceleration directly through the Android View APIs.

In addition, device implementations MUST exhibit behavior consistent with the Android SDK documentation on hardware acceleration [ Resources, 9 ].

Android 4.0 includes a TextureView object that lets developers directly integrate hardware-accelerated OpenGL ES textures as rendering targets in a UI hierarchy. Device implementations MUST support the TextureView API, and MUST exhibit consistent behavior with the upstream Android implementation.

7.1.5. Legacy Application Compatibility Mode

Android 4.0 specifies a "compatibility mode" in which the framework operates in an 'normal' screen size equivalent (320dp width) mode for the benefit of legacy applications not developed for old versions of Android that pre-date screen-size independence. Device implementations MUST include support for legacy application compatibility mode as implemented by the upstream Android open source code. That is, device implementations MUST NOT alter the triggers or thresholds at which compatibility mode is activated, and MUST NOT alter the behavior of the compatibility mode itself.

7.1.6. Screen Types

Device implementation screens are classified as one of two types:

Fixed-pixel display implementations: the screen is a single panel that supports only a single pixel width and height. Typically the screen is physically integrated with the device. Examples include mobile phones, tablets, and so on.
Variable-pixel display implementations: the device implementation either has no embedded screen and includes a video output port such as VGA or HDMI for display, or has an embedded screen that can change pixel dimensions. Examples include televisions, set-top boxes, and so on.

Fixed-Pixel Device Implementations

Fixed-pixel device implementations MAY use screens of any pixel dimensions, provided that they meet the requirements defined this Compatibility Definition.

Fixed-pixel implementations MAY include a video output port for use with an external display. However, if that display is ever used for running apps, the device MUST meet the following requirements:

The device MUST report the same screen configuration and display metrics, as detailed in Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2, as the fixed-pixel display.
The device MUST report the same logical density as the fixed-pixel display.
The device MUST report screen dimensions that are the same as, or very close to, the fixed-pixel display.

For example, a tablet that is 7" diagonal size with a 1024x600 pixel resolution is considered a fixed-pixel large mdpi display implementation. If it contains a video output port that displays at 720p or 1080p, the device implementation MUST scale the output so that applications are only executed in a large mdpi window, regardless of whether the fixed-pixel display or video output port is in use.

Variable-Pixel Device Implementations

Variable-pixel device implementations MUST support one or both of 1280x720, or 1920x1080 (that is, 720p or 1080p). Device implementations with variable-pixel displays MUST NOT support any other screen configuration or mode. Device implementations with variable-pixel screens MAY change screen configuration or mode at runtime or boot-time. For example, a user of a set-top box may replace a 720p display with a 1080p display, and the device implementation may adjust accordingly.

Additionally, variable-pixel device implementations MUST report the following configuration buckets for these pixel dimensions:

1280x720 (also known as 720p): 'large' screen size, 'tvdpi' (213 dpi) density
1920x1080 (also known as 1080p): 'large' screen size, 'xhdpi' (320 dpi) density

For clarity, device implementations with variable pixel dimensions are restricted to 720p or 1080p in Android 4.0, and MUST be configured to report screen size and density buckets as noted above.

7.1.7. Screen Technology

The Android platform includes APIs that allow applications to render rich graphics to the display. Devices MUST support all of these APIs as defined by the Android SDK unless specifically allowed in this document. Specifically:

Devices MUST support displays capable of rendering 16-bit color graphics and SHOULD support displays capable of 24-bit color graphics.
Devices MUST support displays capable of rendering animations.
The display technology used MUST have a pixel aspect ratio (PAR) between 0.9 and 1.1. That is, the pixel aspect ratio MUST be near square (1.0) with a 10% tolerance.

7.2. Input Devices

7.2.1. Keyboard

Device implementations:

MUST include support for the Input Management Framework (which allows third party developers to create Input Management Engines - ie soft keyboard) as detailed at http://developer.android.com
MUST provide at least one soft keyboard implementation (regardless of whether a hard keyboard is present)
MAY include additional soft keyboard implementations
MAY include a hardware keyboard
MUST NOT include a hardware keyboard that does not match one of the formats specified in android.content.res.Configuration.keyboard [ Resources, 40 ] (that is, QWERTY, or 12-key)

Device implementations:

MAY omit a non-touch navigation option (that is, may omit a trackball, d-pad, or wheel)
MUST report the correct value for android.content.res.Configuration.navigation [ Resources, 40 ]
MUST provide a reasonable alternative user interface mechanism for the selection and editing of text, compatible with Input Management Engines. The upstream Android open source software includes a selection mechanism suitable for use with devices that lack non-touch navigation inputs.

The Home, Menu and Back functions are essential to the Android navigation paradigm. Device implementations MUST make these functions available to the user at all times when running applications. These functions MAY be implemented via dedicated physical buttons (such as mechanical or capacitive touch buttons), or MAY be implemented using dedicated software keys, gestures, touch panel, etc. Android 4.0 supports both implementations.

Device implementations MAY use a distinct portion of the screen to display the navigation keys, but if so, MUST meet these requirements:

Device implementation navigation keys MUST use a distinct portion of the screen, not available to applications, and MUST NOT obscure or otherwise interfere with the portion of the screen available to applications.
Device implementations MUST make available a portion of the display to applications that meets the requirements defined in Section 7.1.1 .
Device implementations MUST display the navigation keys when applications do not specify a system UI mode, or specify SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE .
Device implementations MUST present the navigation keys in an unobtrusive "low profile" (eg. dimmed) mode when applications specify SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE .
Device implementations MUST hide the navigation keys when applications specify SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION .
Device implementation MUST present a Menu key to applications when targetSdkVersion <= 10 and SHOULD NOT present a Menu key when the targetSdkVersion > 10.

7.2.4. Touchscreen input

Device implementations:

MUST have a pointer input system of some kind (either mouse-like, or touch)
MAY have a touchscreen of any modality (such as capacitive or resistive)
SHOULD support fully independently tracked pointers, if a touchscreen supports multiple pointers
MUST report the value of android.content.res.Configuration.touchscreen [ Resources, 40 ] corresponding to the type of the specific touchscreen on the device

Android 4.0 includes support for a variety of touch screens, touch pads, and fake touch input devices. Touch screen based device implementations are associated with a display [ Resources, 61 ] such that the user has the impression of directly manipulating items on screen. Since the user is directly touching the screen, the system does not require any additional affordances to indicate the objects being manipulated. In contrast, a fake touch interface provides a user input system that approximates a subset of touchscreen capabilities. For example, a mouse or remote control that drives an on-screen cursor approximates touch, but requires the user to first point or focus then click. Numerous input devices like the mouse, trackpad, gyro-based air mouse, gyro-pointer, joystick, and multi-touch trackpad can support fake touch interactions. Android 4.0 includes the feature constant android.hardware.faketouch , which corresponds to a high-fidelity non-touch (that is, pointer-based) input device such as a mouse or trackpad that can adequately emulate touch-based input (including basic gesture support), and indicates that the device supports an emulated subset of touchscreen functionality. Device implementations that declare the fake touch feature MUST meet the fake touch requirements in Section 7.2.5 .

Device implementations MUST report the correct feature corresponding to the type of input used. Device implementations that include a touchscreen (single-touch or better) MUST also report the platform feature constant android.hardware.faketouch . Device implementations that do not include a touchscreen (and rely on a pointer device only) MUST NOT report any touchscreen feature, and MUST report only android.hardware.faketouch if they meet the fake touch requirements in Section 7.2.5 .

7.2.5. Fake touch input

Device implementations that declare support for android.hardware.faketouch

MUST report the absolute X and Y screen positions of the pointer location and display a visual pointer on the screen[ Resources, 60 ]
MUST report touch event with the action code [ Resources, 60 ] that specifies the state change that occurs on the pointer going down or up on the screen [ Resources, 60 ]
MUST support pointer down and up on an object on the screen, which allows users to emulate tap on an object on the screen
MUST support pointer down , pointer up , pointer down then pointer up in the same place on an object on the screen within a time threshold, which allows users to emulate double tap on an object on the screen [ Resources, 60 ]
MUST support pointer down on an arbitrary point on the screen, pointer move to any other arbitrary point on the screen, followed by a pointer up , which allows users to emulate a touch drag
MUST support pointer down then allow users to quickly move the object to a different position on the screen and then pointer up on the screen, which allows users to fling an object on the screen

Devices that declare support for android.hardware.faketouch.multitouch.distinct MUST meet the requirements for faketouch above, and MUST also support distinct tracking of two or more independent pointer inputs.

7.2.6. Microphone

Device implementations MAY omit a microphone. However, if a device implementation omits a microphone, it MUST NOT report the android.hardware.microphone feature constant, and must implement the audio recording API as no-ops, per Section 7 . Conversely, device implementations that do possess a microphone:

MUST report the android.hardware.microphone feature constant
SHOULD meet the audio quality requirements in Section 5.3
SHOULD meet the audio latency requirements in Section 5.4

7.3. Sensors

Android 4.0 includes APIs for accessing a variety of sensor types. Devices implementations generally MAY omit these sensors, as provided for in the following subsections. If a device includes a particular sensor type that has a corresponding API for third-party developers, the device implementation MUST implement that API as described in the Android SDK documentation. For example, device implementations:

MUST accurately report the presence or absence of sensors per the android.content.pm.PackageManager class. [ Resources, 37 ]
MUST return an accurate list of supported sensors via the SensorManager.getSensorList() and similar methods
MUST behave reasonably for all other sensor APIs (for example, by returning true or false as appropriate when applications attempt to register listeners, not calling sensor listeners when the corresponding sensors are not present; etc.)
MUST report all sensor measurements using the relevant International System of Units (ie metric) values for each sensor type as defined in the Android SDK documentation [ Resources, 41 ]

The list above is not comprehensive; the documented behavior of the Android SDK is to be considered authoritative.

Some sensor types are synthetic, meaning they can be derived from data provided by one or more other sensors. (Examples include the orientation sensor, and the linear acceleration sensor.) Device implementations SHOULD implement these sensor types, when they include the prerequisite physical sensors.

The Android 4.0 APIs introduce a notion of a "streaming" sensor, which is one that returns data continuously, rather than only when the data changes. Device implementations MUST continuously provide periodic data samples for any API indicated by the Android 4.0 SDK documentation to be a streaming sensor.

7.3.1. Accelerometer

Device implementations SHOULD include a 3-axis accelerometer. If a device implementation does include a 3-axis accelerometer, it:

MUST be able to deliver events at 50 Hz or greater
MUST comply with the Android sensor coordinate system as detailed in the Android APIs (see [ Resources, 41 ])
MUST be capable of measuring from freefall up to twice gravity (2g) or more on any three-dimensional vector
MUST have 8-bits of accuracy or more
MUST have a standard deviation no greater than 0.05 m/s^2

7.3.2. Magnetometer

Device implementations SHOULD include a 3-axis magnetometer (ie compass.) If a device does include a 3-axis magnetometer, it:

MUST be able to deliver events at 10 Hz or greater
MUST comply with the Android sensor coordinate system as detailed in the Android APIs (see [ Resources, 41 ]).
MUST be capable of sampling a range of field strengths adequate to cover the geomagnetic field
MUST have 8-bits of accuracy or more
MUST have a standard deviation no greater than 0.5 µT

7.3.3. GPS

Device implementations SHOULD include a GPS receiver. If a device implementation does include a GPS receiver, it SHOULD include some form of "assisted GPS" technique to minimize GPS lock-on time.

7.3.4. Gyroscope

Device implementations SHOULD include a gyroscope (ie angular change sensor.) Devices SHOULD NOT include a gyroscope sensor unless a 3-axis accelerometer is also included. If a device implementation includes a gyroscope, it:

MUST be temperature compensated
MUST be capable of measuring orientation changes up to 5.5*Pi radians/second (that is, approximately 1,000 degrees per second)
MUST be able to deliver events at 100 Hz or greater
MUST have 12-bits of accuracy or more
MUST have a variance no greater than 1e-7 rad^2 / s^2 per Hz (variance per Hz, or rad^2 / s). The variance is allowed to vary with the sampling rate, but must be constrained by this value. In other words, if you measure the variance of the gyro at 1 Hz sampling rate it should be no greater than 1e-7 rad^2/s^2.
MUST have timestamps as close to when the hardware event happened as possible. The constant latency must be removed.

7.3.5. Barometer

Device implementations MAY include a barometer (ie ambient air pressure sensor.) If a device implementation includes a barometer, it:

MUST be able to deliver events at 5 Hz or greater
MUST have adequate precision to enable estimating altitude

7.3.7. Thermometer

Device implementations MAY but SHOULD NOT include a thermometer (ie temperature sensor.) If a device implementation does include a thermometer, it MUST measure the temperature of the device CPU. It MUST NOT measure any other temperature. (Note that this sensor type is deprecated in the Android 4.0 APIs.)

7.3.7. Photometer

Device implementations MAY include a photometer (ie ambient light sensor.)

7.3.8. Proximity Sensor

Device implementations MAY include a proximity sensor. If a device implementation does include a proximity sensor, it MUST measure the proximity of an object in the same direction as the screen. That is, the proximity sensor MUST be oriented to detect objects close to the screen, as the primary intent of this sensor type is to detect a phone in use by the user. If a device implementation includes a proximity sensor with any other orientation, it MUST NOT be accessible through this API. If a device implementation has a proximity sensor, it MUST be have 1-bit of accuracy or more.

7.4. Data Connectivity

7.4.1. Telephony

"Telephony" as used by the Android 4.0 APIs and this document refers specifically to hardware related to placing voice calls and sending SMS messages via a GSM or CDMA network. While these voice calls may or may not be packet-switched, they are for the purposes of Android 4.0 considered independent of any data connectivity that may be implemented using the same network. In other words, the Android "telephony" functionality and APIs refer specifically to voice calls and SMS; for instance, device implementations that cannot place calls or send/receive SMS messages MUST NOT report the "android.hardware.telephony" feature or any sub-features, regardless of whether they use a cellular network for data connectivity.

Android 4.0 MAY be used on devices that do not include telephony hardware. That is, Android 4.0 is compatible with devices that are not phones. However, if a device implementation does include GSM or CDMA telephony, it MUST implement full support for the API for that technology. Device implementations that do not include telephony hardware MUST implement the full APIs as no-ops.

7.4.2. IEEE 802.11 (WiFi)

Android 4.0 device implementations SHOULD include support for one or more forms of 802.11 (b/g/a/n, etc.) If a device implementation does include support for 802.11, it MUST implement the corresponding Android API.

7.4.3. Bluetooth

Device implementations SHOULD include a Bluetooth transceiver. Device implementations that do include a Bluetooth transceiver MUST enable the RFCOMM-based Bluetooth API as described in the SDK documentation [ Resources, 42 ]. Device implementations SHOULD implement relevant Bluetooth profiles, such as A2DP, AVRCP, OBEX, etc. as appropriate for the device.

The Compatibility Test Suite includes cases that cover basic operation of the Android RFCOMM Bluetooth API. However, since Bluetooth is a communications protocol between devices, it cannot be fully tested by unit tests running on a single device. Consequently, device implementations MUST also pass the human-driven Bluetooth test procedure described in Appendix A.

7.4.4. Near-Field Communications

Device implementations SHOULD include a transceiver and related hardware for Near-Field Communications (NFC). If a device implementation does include NFC hardware, then it:

MUST report the android.hardware.nfc feature from the android.content.pm.PackageManager.hasSystemFeature() method. [ Resources, 37 ]
MUST be capable of reading and writing NDEF messages via the following NFC standards:
- MUST be capable of acting as an NFC Forum reader/writer (as defined by the NFC Forum technical specification NFCForum-TS-DigitalProtocol-1.0) via the following NFC standards:
  - NfcA (ISO14443-3A)
  - NfcB (ISO14443-3B)
  - NfcF (JIS 6319-4)
  - IsoDep (ISO 14443-4)
  - NFC Forum Tag Types 1, 2, 3, 4 (defined by the NFC Forum)
SHOULD be capable of reading and writing NDEF messages via the following NFC standards. Note that while the NFC standards below are stated as "SHOULD" for Android 4.0, the Compatibility Definition for a future version is planned to change these to "MUST". That is, these stanards are optional in Android 4.0 but will be required in future versions. Existing and new devices that run Android 4.0 are very strongly encouraged to meet these requirements in Android 4.0 so they will be able to upgrade to the future platform releases.
- NfcV (ISO 15693)
MUST be capable of transmitting and receiving data via the following peer-to-peer standards and protocols:
- ISO 18092
- LLCP 1.0 (defined by the NFC Forum)
- SDP 1.0 (defined by the NFC Forum)
- NDEF Push Protocol [ Resources, 43 ]
- SNEP 1.0 (defined by the NFC Forum)
MUST include support for Android Beam:
- MUST implement the SNEP default server. Valid NDEF messages received by the default SNEP server MUST be dispatched to applications using the android.nfc.ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED intent. Disabling Android Beam in settings MUST NOT disable dispatch of incoming NDEF message.
- MUST implement the NPP server. Messages received by the NPP server MUST be processed the same way as the SNEP default server.
- MUST implement a SNEP client and attempt to send outbound P2P NDEF to the default SNEP server when Android Beam is enabled. If no default SNEP server is found then the client MUST attempt to send to an NPP server.
- MUST allow foreground activities to set the outbound P2P NDEF message using android.nfc.NfcAdapter.setNdefPushMessage, and android.nfc.NfcAdapter.setNdefPushMessageCallback, and android.nfc.NfcAdapter.enableForegroundNdefPush.
- SHOULD use a gesture or on-screen confirmation, such as 'Touch to Beam', before sending outbound P2P NDEF messages.
- SHOULD enable Android Beam by default
MUST poll for all supported technologies while in NFC discovery mode.
SHOULD be in NFC discovery mode while the device is awake with the screen active and the lock-screen unlocked.

(Note that publicly available links are not available for the JIS, ISO, and NFC Forum specifications cited above.)

Additionally, device implementations MAY include reader/writer support for the following MIFARE technologies.

MIFARE Classic (NXP MF1S503x [ Resources, 44 ], MF1S703x [ Resources, 44 ])
MIFARE Ultralight (NXP MF0ICU1 [ Resources, 46 ], MF0ICU2 [ Resources, 46 ])
NDEF on MIFARE Classic (NXP AN130511 [ Resources, 48 ], AN130411 [ Resources, 49 ])

Note that Android 4.0 includes APIs for these MIFARE types. If a device implementation supports MIFARE in the reader/writer role, it:

MUST implement the corresponding Android APIs as documented by the Android SDK
MUST report the feature com.nxp.mifare from the android.content.pm.PackageManager.hasSystemFeature() method. [ Resources, 37 ] Note that this is not a standard Android feature, and as such does not appear as a constant on the PackageManager class.
MUST NOT implement the corresponding Android APIs nor report the com.nxp.mifare feature unless it also implements general NFC support as described in this section

If a device implementation does not include NFC hardware, it MUST NOT declare the android.hardware.nfc feature from the android.content.pm.PackageManager.hasSystemFeature() method [ Resources, 37 ], and MUST implement the Android 4.0 NFC API as a no-op.

As the classes android.nfc.NdefMessage and android.nfc.NdefRecord represent a protocol-independent data representation format, device implementations MUST implement these APIs even if they do not include support for NFC or declare the android.hardware.nfc feature.

7.4.5. Minimum Network Capability

Device implementations MUST include support for one or more forms of data networking. Specifically, device implementations MUST include support for at least one data standard capable of 200Kbit/sec or greater. Examples of technologies that satisfy this requirement include EDGE, HSPA, EV-DO, 802.11g, Ethernet, etc.

Device implementations where a physical networking standard (such as Ethernet) is the primary data connection SHOULD also include support for at least one common wireless data standard, such as 802.11 (WiFi).

Devices MAY implement more than one form of data connectivity.

7.5. Cameras

Device implementations SHOULD include a rear-facing camera, and MAY include a front-facing camera. A rear-facing camera is a camera located on the side of the device opposite the display; that is, it images scenes on the far side of the device, like a traditional camera. A front-facing camera is a camera located on the same side of the device as the display; that is, a camera typically used to image the user, such as for video conferencing and similar applications.

7.5.1. Rear-Facing Camera

Device implementations SHOULD include a rear-facing camera. If a device implementation includes a rear-facing camera, it:

MUST have a resolution of at least 2 megapixels
SHOULD have either hardware auto-focus, or software auto-focus implemented in the camera driver (transparent to application software)
MAY have fixed-focus or EDOF (extended depth of field) hardware
MAY include a flash. If the Camera includes a flash, the flash lamp MUST NOT be lit while an android.hardware.Camera.PreviewCallback instance has been registered on a Camera preview surface, unless the application has explicitly enabled the flash by enabling the FLASH_MODE_AUTO or FLASH_MODE_ON attributes of a Camera.Parameters object. Note that this constraint does not apply to the device's built-in system camera application, but only to third-party applications using Camera.PreviewCallback .

7.5.2. Front-Facing Camera

Device implementations MAY include a front-facing camera. If a device implementation includes a front-facing camera, it:

MUST have a resolution of at least VGA (that is, 640x480 pixels)
MUST NOT use a front-facing camera as the default for the Camera API. That is, the camera API in Android 4.0 has specific support for front-facing cameras, and device implementations MUST NOT configure the API to to treat a front-facing camera as the default rear-facing camera, even if it is the only camera on the device.
MAY include features (such as auto-focus, flash, etc.) available to rear-facing cameras as described in Section 7.5.1.
MUST horizontally reflect (ie mirror) the stream displayed by an app in a CameraPreview, as follows:

If the device implementation is capable of being rotated by user (such as automatically via an accelerometer or manually via user input), the camera preview MUST be mirrored horizontally relative to the device's current orientation.
If the current application has explicitly requested that the Camera display be rotated via a call to the android.hardware.Camera.setDisplayOrientation() [ Resources, 50 ] method, the camera preview MUST be mirrored horizontally relative to the orientation specified by the application.
Otherwise, the preview MUST be mirrored along the device's default horizontal axis.

MUST mirror the image displayed by the postview in the same manner as the camera preview image stream. (If the device implementation does not support postview, this requirement obviously does not apply.)
MUST NOT mirror the final captured still image or video streams returned to application callbacks or committed to media storage

7.5.3. Camera API Behavior

Device implementations MUST implement the following behaviors for the camera-related APIs, for both front- and rear-facing cameras:

If an application has never called android.hardware.Camera.Parameters.setPreviewFormat(int) , then the device MUST use android.hardware.PixelFormat.YCbCr_420_SP for preview data provided to application callbacks.
If an application registers an android.hardware.Camera.PreviewCallback instance and the system calls the onPreviewFrame() method when the preview format is YCbCr_420_SP, the data in the byte[] passed into onPreviewFrame() must further be in the NV21 encoding format. That is, NV21 MUST be the default.
Device implementations MUST support the YV12 format (as denoted by the android.graphics.ImageFormat.YV12 constant) for camera previews for both front- and rear-facing cameras. (The hardware video decoder and camera may use any native pixel format, but the device implementation MUST support conversion to YV12.)

Device implementations MUST implement the full Camera API included in the Android 4.0 SDK documentation [ Resources, 51 ]), regardless of whether the device includes hardware autofocus or other capabilities. For instance, cameras that lack autofocus MUST still call any registered android.hardware.Camera.AutoFocusCallback instances (even though this has no relevance to a non-autofocus camera.) Note that this does apply to front-facing cameras; for instance, even though most front-facing cameras do not support autofocus, the API callbacks must still be "faked" as described.

Device implementations MUST recognize and honor each parameter name defined as a constant on the android.hardware.Camera.Parameters class, if the underlying hardware supports the feature. If the device hardware does not support a feature, the API must behave as documented. Conversely, Device implementations MUST NOT honor or recognize string constants passed to the android.hardware.Camera.setParameters() method other than those documented as constants on the android.hardware.Camera.Parameters . That is, device implementations MUST support all standard Camera parameters if the hardware allows, and MUST NOT support custom Camera parameter types.

Device implementations MUST broadcast the Camera.ACTION_NEW_PICTURE intent whenever a new picture is taken by the camera and the entry of the picture has been added to the media store.

Device implementations MUST broadcast the Camera.ACTION_NEW_VIDEO intent whenever a new video is recorded by the camera and the entry of the picture has been added to the media store.

7.5.4. Camera Orientation

Both front- and rear-facing cameras, if present, MUST be oriented so that the long dimension of the camera aligns with the screen's long dimension. That is, when the device is held in the landscape orientation, cameras MUST capture images in the landscape orientation. This applies regardless of the device's natural orientation; that is, it applies to landscape-primary devices as well as portrait-primary devices.

7.6. Memory and Storage

7.6.1. Minimum Memory and Storage

Device implementations MUST have at least 340MB of memory available to the kernel and userspace. The 340MB MUST be in addition to any memory dedicated to hardware components such as radio, video, and so on that is not under the kernel's control.

Device implementations MUST have at least 350MB of non-volatile storage available for application private data. That is, the /data partition MUST be at least 350MB.

The Android APIs include a Download Manager that applications may use to download data files [ Resources, 56 ]. The device implementation of the Download Manager MUST be capable of downloading individual files of at least 100MB in size to the default "cache" location.

7.6.2. Application Shared Storage

Device implementations MUST offer shared storage for applications. The shared storage provided MUST be at least 1GB in size.

Device implementations MUST be configured with shared storage mounted by default, "out of the box". If the shared storage is not mounted on the Linux path /sdcard , then the device MUST include a Linux symbolic link from /sdcard to the actual mount point.

Device implementations MUST enforce as documented the android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on this shared storage. Shared storage MUST otherwise be writable by any application that obtains that permission.

Device implementations MAY have hardware for user-accessible removable storage, such as a Secure Digital card. Alternatively, device implementations MAY allocate internal (non-removable) storage as shared storage for apps.

Regardless of the form of shared storage used, device implementations MUST provide some mechanism to access the contents of shared storage from a host computer, such as USB mass storage (UMS) or Media Transfer Protocol (MTP). Device implementations MAY use USB mass storage, but SHOULD use Media Transfer Protocol. If the device implementation supports Media Transfer Protocol:

The device implementation SHOULD be compatible with the reference Android MTP host, Android File Transfer [ Resources, 57 ].
The device implementation SHOULD report a USB device class of 0x00 .
The device implementation SHOULD report a USB interface name of 'MTP'.

If the device implementation lacks USB ports, it MUST provide a host computer with access to the contents of shared storage by some other means, such as a network file system.

It is illustrative to consider two common examples. If a device implementation includes an SD card slot to satisfy the shared storage requirement, a FAT-formatted SD card 1GB in size or larger MUST be included with the device as sold to users, and MUST be mounted by default. Alternatively, if a device implementation uses internal fixed storage to satisfy this requirement, that storage MUST be 1GB in size or larger and mounted on /sdcard (or /sdcard MUST be a symbolic link to the physical location if it is mounted elsewhere.)

Device implementations that include multiple shared storage paths (such as both an SD card slot and shared internal storage) SHOULD modify the core applications such as the media scanner and ContentProvider to transparently support files placed in both locations.

7.7. USB

Device implementations SHOULD include a USB client port, and SHOULD include a USB host port.

If a device implementation includes a USB client port:

the port MUST be connectable to a USB host with a standard USB-A port
the port SHOULD use the micro USB form factor on the device side
it MUST allow a host connected to the device to access the contents of the shared storage volume using either USB mass storage or Media Transfer Protocol
it MUST implement the Android Open Accessory API and specification as documented in the Android SDK documentation, and MUST declare support for the hardware feature android.hardware.usb.accessory [ Resources, 51 ]

If a device implementation includes a USB host port:

it MAY use a non-standard port form factor, but if so MUST ship with a cable or cables adapting the port to standard USB-A
it MUST implement the Android USB host API as documented in the Android SDK, and MUST declare support for the hardware feature android.hardware.usb.host [ Resources, 52 ]

Device implementations MUST implement the Android Debug Bridge. If a device implementation omits a USB client port, it MUST implement the Android Debug Bridge via local-area network (such as Ethernet or 802.11)

8. Performance Compatibility

Device implementations MUST meet the key performance metrics of an Android 4.0 compatible device defined in the table below:

Metric	Performance Threshold	Comments
Application Launch Time	The following applications should launch within the specified time. Browser: less than 1300ms Contacts: less than 700ms Settings: less than 700ms	The launch time is measured as the total time to complete loading the default activity for the application, including the time it takes to start the Linux process, load the Android package into the Dalvik VM, and call onCreate.
Simultaneous Applications	When multiple applications have been launched, re-launching an already-running application after it has been launched must take less than the original launch time.

9. Security Model Compatibility

Device implementations MUST implement a security model consistent with the Android platform security model as defined in Security and Permissions reference document in the APIs [ Resources, 54 ] in the Android developer documentation. Device implementations MUST support installation of self-signed applications without requiring any additional permissions/certificates from any third parties/authorities. Specifically, compatible devices MUST support the security mechanisms described in the follow sub-sections.

9.1. Permissions

Device implementations MUST support the Android permissions model as defined in the Android developer documentation [ Resources, 54 ]. Specifically, implementations MUST enforce each permission defined as described in the SDK documentation; no permissions may be omitted, altered, or ignored. Implementations MAY add additional permissions, provided the new permission ID strings are not in the android.* namespace.

9.2. UID and Process Isolation

Device implementations MUST support the Android application sandbox model, in which each application runs as a unique Unix-style UID and in a separate process. Device implementations MUST support running multiple applications as the same Linux user ID, provided that the applications are properly signed and constructed, as defined in the Security and Permissions reference [ Resources, 54 ].

9.3. Filesystem Permissions

Device implementations MUST support the Android file access permissions model as defined in as defined in the Security and Permissions reference [ Resources, 54 ].

9.4. Alternate Execution Environments

Device implementations MAY include runtime environments that execute applications using some other software or technology than the Dalvik virtual machine or native code. However, such alternate execution environments MUST NOT compromise the Android security model or the security of installed Android applications, as described in this section.

Alternate runtimes MUST themselves be Android applications, and abide by the standard Android security model, as described elsewhere in Section 9.

Alternate runtimes MUST NOT be granted access to resources protected by permissions not requested in the runtime's AndroidManifest.xml file via the <uses-permission> mechanism.

Alternate runtimes MUST NOT permit applications to make use of features protected by Android permissions restricted to system applications.

Alternate runtimes MUST abide by the Android sandbox model. Specifically:

Alternate runtimes SHOULD install apps via the PackageManager into separate Android sandboxes (that is, Linux user IDs, etc.)
Alternate runtimes MAY provide a single Android sandbox shared by all applications using the alternate runtime.
Alternate runtimes and installed applications using an alternate runtime MUST NOT reuse the sandbox of any other app installed on the device, except through the standard Android mechanisms of shared user ID and signing certificate
Alternate runtimes MUST NOT launch with, grant, or be granted access to the sandboxes corresponding to other Android applications.

Alternate runtimes MUST NOT be launched with, be granted, or grant to other applications any privileges of the superuser (root), or of any other user ID.

The .apk files of alternate runtimes MAY be included in the system image of a device implementation, but MUST be signed with a key distinct from the key used to sign other applications included with the device implementation.

When installing applications, alternate runtimes MUST obtain user consent for the Android permissions used by the application. That is, if an application needs to make use of a device resource for which there is a corresponding Android permission (such as Camera, GPS, etc.), the alternate runtime MUST inform the user that the application will be able to access that resource. If the runtime environment does not record application capabilities in this manner, the runtime environment MUST list all permissions held by the runtime itself when installing any application using that runtime.

10. Software Compatibility Testing

Device implementations MUST pass all tests described in this section.

However, note that no software test package is fully comprehensive. For this reason, device implementers are very strongly encouraged to make the minimum number of changes as possible to the reference and preferred implementation of Android 4.0 available from the Android Open Source Project. This will minimize the risk of introducing bugs that create incompatibilities requiring rework and potential device updates.

10.1. Compatibility Test Suite

Device implementations MUST pass the Android Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) [ Resources, 2 ] available from the Android Open Source Project, using the final shipping software on the device. Additionally, device implementers SHOULD use the reference implementation in the Android Open Source tree as much as possible, and MUST ensure compatibility in cases of ambiguity in CTS and for any reimplementations of parts of the reference source code.

The CTS is designed to be run on an actual device. Like any software, the CTS may itself contain bugs. The CTS will be versioned independently of this Compatibility Definition, and multiple revisions of the CTS may be released for Android 4.0. Device implementations MUST pass the latest CTS version available at the time the device software is completed.

10.2. CTS Verifier

Device implementations MUST correctly execute all applicable cases in the CTS Verifier. The CTS Verifier is included with the Compatibility Test Suite, and is intended to be run by a human operator to test functionality that cannot be tested by an automated system, such as correct functioning of a camera and sensors.

The CTS Verifier has tests for many kinds of hardware, including some hardware that is optional. Device implementations MUST pass all tests for hardware which they possess; for instance, if a device possesses an accelerometer, it MUST correctly execute the Accelerometer test case in the CTS Verifier. Test cases for features noted as optional by this Compatibility Definition Document MAY be skipped or omitted.

Every device and every build MUST correctly run the CTS Verifier, as noted above. However, since many builds are very similar, device implementers are not expected to explicitly run the CTS Verifier on builds that differ only in trivial ways. Specifically, device implementations that differ from an implementation that has passed the CTS Verfier only by the set of included locales, branding, etc. MAY omit the CTS Verifier test.

10.3. Reference Applications

Device implementers MUST test implementation compatibility using the following open source applications:

The "Apps for Android" applications [ Resources, 55 ].
Replica Island (available in Android Market)

Each app above MUST launch and behave correctly on the implementation, for the implementation to be considered compatible.

11. Updatable Software

Device implementations MUST include a mechanism to replace the entirety of the system software. The mechanism need not perform "live" upgrades - that is, a device restart MAY be required.

Any method can be used, provided that it can replace the entirety of the software preinstalled on the device. For instance, any of the following approaches will satisfy this requirement:

Over-the-air (OTA) downloads with offline update via reboot
"Tethered" updates over USB from a host PC
"Offline" updates via a reboot and update from a file on removable storage

The update mechanism used MUST support updates without wiping user data. That is, the update mechanism MUST preserve application private data and application shared data. Note that the upstream Android software includes an update mechanism that satisfies this requirement.

If an error is found in a device implementation after it has been released but within its reasonable product lifetime that is determined in consultation with the Android Compatibility Team to affect the compatibility of third-party applications, the device implementer MUST correct the error via a software update available that can be applied per the mechanism just described.

Appendix A - Bluetooth Test Procedure

The test procedure is based on the BluetoothChat sample app included in the Android open source project tree. The procedure requires two devices:

a candidate device implementation running the software build to be tested
a separate device implementation already known to be compatible, and of a model from the device implementation being tested - that is, a "known good" device implementation

The test procedure below refers to these devices as the "candidate" and "known good" devices, respectively.

Setup and Installation

Build BluetoothChat.apk via 'make samples' from an Android source code tree.
Install BluetoothChat.apk on the known-good device.
Install BluetoothChat.apk on the candidate device.

Test Bluetooth Control by Apps

Launch BluetoothChat on the candidate device, while Bluetooth is disabled.
Verify that the candidate device either turns on Bluetooth, or prompts the user with a dialog to turn on Bluetooth.

Test Pairing and Communication

Launch the Bluetooth Chat app on both devices.
Make the known-good device discoverable from within BluetoothChat (using the Menu).
On the candidate device, scan for Bluetooth devices from within BluetoothChat (using the Menu) and pair with the known-good device.
Send 10 or more messages from each device, and verify that the other device receives them correctly.
Close the BluetoothChat app on both devices by pressing Home .
Unpair each device from the other, using the device Settings app.

Test Pairing and Communication in the Reverse Direction

Launch the Bluetooth Chat app on both devices.
Make the candidate device discoverable from within BluetoothChat (using the Menu).
On the known-good device, scan for Bluetooth devices from within BluetoothChat (using the Menu) and pair with the candidate device.
Send 10 or messages from each device, and verify that the other device receives them correctly.
Close the Bluetooth Chat app on both devices by pressing Back repeatedly to get to the Launcher.

Test Re-Launches

Re-launch the Bluetooth Chat app on both devices.
Send 10 or messages from each device, and verify that the other device receives them correctly.

Note: the above tests have some cases which end a test section by using Home, and some using Back. These tests are not redundant and are not optional: the objective is to verify that the Bluetooth API and stack works correctly both when Activities are explicitly terminated (via the user pressing Back, which calls finish()), and implicitly sent to background (via the user pressing Home.) Each test sequence MUST be performed as described.
