+WKTHMLTOPDF README
+==================
+Or, how I stopped hating the cdd and learned to love html-to-pdf conversions.
+
+
+OVERVIEW
+==================
+TL:DR This document describes how to create a CDD.pdf from the CDD.html file. You need to generate a cover file and a body file, then use Adobe Acrobat to insert the cover page into the body.pdf.
+
+The Android Compatibilty Definition Document (CDD) is maintained as an html file but distributed as a .pdf. The partner team updates the CDD for every new major Android release and the APE doc team posts the new .pdf to source.android.com in http://source.android.com/compatibility/.
+
+To create the pdf from the html file, use wkhtmltopdf (http://wkhtmltopdf.org/) plus a little bit of Adobe Acrobat. You can do the conversion on a Mac or Linux (or even Windows); you just need to download the wkhtmltopdf pkg for your system. However, since you must use Adobe Acrobat Pro (not Reader) to insert the cover page, you must perform this step on a Mac or Windows box (none of the Linux PDF apps can do the swap successfully and still maintain the PDF bookmarks and links)
+
+
+1. INSTALL WKHTMLTOPDF
+====================
+Go to http://wkhtmltopdf.org/ and download the app for your system. It's command line only.
+
+
+2. GENERATE COVER PDF
+======================
+
+Syntax:
+
+wkthmltopdf [page-size] [page-margins] cover path-to-html path-to-pdf
+
+page-size
+Set to letter.
+Ex. -s letter
+
+page-margins
+set to 0in (cover goes all the way to page edges)
+Ex. -B 0in -T 0in -L 0in -R 0in
+
+path-to-html
+The full path (from root, including the filename) to the cover html file. You will need to update the cover text to specify the release name , number, and date. You might also need to swap the image out for the image associated with the release (store images in compatibility/images).
+Ex:
+/usr/local/google/home/hvm/Projects/internal/lmp-mr1-dev/docs/source.android.com/src/compatibility/5.1/android-cdd-cover_5_1.html
+
+path-to-pdf
+The full path (from root, including the filename) to where you want the output pdf file to reside. If the pdf file is NOT open (in Preview or some other app), running the command will silently overwrite the existing .pdf.
+Ex.
+/usr/local/google/home/hvm/Projects/internal/lmp-mr1-dev/docs/source.android.com/src/compatibility/5.1/android-cdd-cover.pdf
+
+
+Example cover command:
+
+wkhtmltopdf -s letter -B 0in -T 0in -L 0in -R 0in cover /usr/local/google/home/hvm/Projects/internal/lmp-mr1-dev/docs/source.android.com/src/compatibility/5.1/android-cdd-cover_5_1.html /usr/local/google/home/hvm/Projects/internal/lmp-mr1-dev/docs/source.android.com/src/compatibility/5.1/android-cdd-cover.pdf
+
+
+3. GENERATE BODY PDF
+====================
+Syntax:
+
+wkthmltopdf [page-margins] page path-to-html path-to-footer path-to-pdf
+
+page-margins
+set to 1in on top and bottom, .75in on left and right.
+Ex. -B 1in -T 1in -L .75in -R .75in
+
+path-to-html
+The full path (from root, including the filename) to the body html file. This is the main cdd.html, which will change with each release.
+Ex.
+/usr/local/google/home/hvm/Projects/internal/lmp-mr1-dev/docs/source.android.com/src/compatibility/5.1/android-5.1-cdd.html
+
+path-to-footer
+The full path (from root, including the filename) to the footer html file. This is a simple html file that contains the android logo and some javascript to calculate the page number and count. The footer should NOT change from release to release.
+Ex.
+--footer-html /usr/local/google/home/hvm/Projects/internal/lmp-mr1-dev/docs/source.android.com/src/compatibility/5.1/android-cdd-footer.html
+
+
+path-to-pdf
+The full path (from root, including the filename) to where you want the output pdf file to reside. If the pdf file is NOT open (in Preview or some other app), running the command will silently overwrite the existing .pdf.
+Ex.
+/usr/local/google/home/hvm/Projects/internal/lmp-mr1-dev/docs/source.android.com/src/compatibility/5.1/android-cdd-body.pdf
+
+
+Example body command:
+
+wkhtmltopdf -B 1in -T 1in -L .75in -R .75in page /usr/local/google/home/hvm/Projects/internal/lmp-mr1-dev/docs/source.android.com/src/compatibility/5.1/android-5.1-cdd.html --footer-html /usr/local/google/home/hvm/Projects/internal/lmp-mr1-dev/docs/source.android.com/src/compatibility/5.1/android-cdd-footer.html /usr/local/google/home/hvm/Projects/internal/lmp-mr1-dev/docs/source.android.com/src/compatibility/5.1/android-cdd-body.pdf
+
+4. CREATE CSS PDF
+==================
+A. Open the body.pdf in Adobe Acrobat Pro (you *cannot* use Acrobat Reader for this task).
+B. Select Tools > Replace, then open the cover.pdf file and replace page 1 of the body.pdf with page 1 of the cover.pdf.
+C. Save the new file as the android-cdd_x_x.pdf (where X_X is the number of the release, such as 5.1).
+
+QUESTIONS?
+==================

+
+
+<p>This document enumerates the requirements that must be met in order for devices
+to be compatible with Android ANDROID_VERSION.</p>
+
+<p>The use of &ldquo;MUST&rdquo;, &ldquo;MUST NOT&rdquo;, &ldquo;REQUIRED&rdquo;, &ldquo;SHALL&rdquo;, &ldquo;SHALL NOT&rdquo;, &ldquo;SHOULD&rdquo;,&ldquo;SHOULD NOT&rdquo;, &ldquo;RECOMMENDED&rdquo;, &ldquo;MAY&rdquo;, and &ldquo;OPTIONAL&rdquo; is per the IETF standard
+defined in RFC2119 [<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt">Resources, 1</a>].</p>
+
+<p>As used in this document, a &ldquo;device implementer&rdquo; or &ldquo;implementer&rdquo; is a person
+or organization developing a hardware/software solution running Android ANDROID_VERSION. A
+&ldquo;device implementation&rdquo; or &ldquo;implementation is the hardware/software solution
+so developed.</p>
+
+<p>To be considered compatible with Android ANDROID_VERSION, device implementations MUST meet
+the requirements presented in this Compatibility Definition, including any
+documents incorporated via reference.</p>
+
+<p>Where this definition or the software tests described in <a href="#10_software_compatibility_testing">section 10</a> is silent, ambiguous, or incomplete, it is the responsibility of the device
+implementer to ensure compatibility with existing implementations.</p>
+
+<p>For this reason, the Android Open Source Project [<a href="http://source.android.com/">Resources, 2</a>] is both the reference and preferred implementation of Android. Device
+implementers are strongly encouraged to base their implementations to the
+greatest extent possible on the &ldquo;upstream&rdquo; source code available from the
+Android Open Source Project. While some components can hypothetically be
+replaced with alternate implementations this practice is strongly discouraged,
+as passing the software tests will become substantially more difficult. It is
+the implementer&rsquo;s responsibility to ensure full behavioral compatibility with
+the standard Android implementation, including and beyond the Compatibility
+Test Suite. Finally, note that certain component substitutions and
+modifications are explicitly forbidden by this document.</p>
+
+<p>Many of the resources listed in <a href="#14_resources">section 14</a> are derived directly or indirectly from the Android SDK, and will be
+functionally identical to the information in that SDK&rsquo;s documentation. For any
+case where this Compatibility Definition or the Compatibility Test Suite
+disagrees with the SDK documentation, the SDK documentation is considered
+authoritative. Any technical details provided in the references included in <a href="#14_resources">section 14</a> are considered by inclusion to be part of this Compatibility Definition. </p>
+
+<h1 id="2_device_types">2. Device Types</h1>
+
+
+<p>While the Android Open Source Project has been used in the implementation of a
+variety of device types and form factors, many aspects of the architecture and
+compatibility requirements were optimized for handheld devices. Starting from
+Android 5.0, the Android Open Source Project aims to embrace a wider variety of
+device types as described in this section.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Android Handheld device</strong> refers to an Android device implementation that is typically used by holding
+it in the hand, such as mp3 players, phones, and tablets. Android Handheld
+device implementations:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST have a touchscreen embedded in the device.</li>
+  <li>MUST have a power source that provides mobility, such as a battery.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Android Television device</strong> refers to an Android device implementation that is an entertainment interface
+for consuming digital media, movies, games, apps, and/or live TV for users
+sitting about ten feet away (a &ldquo;lean back&rdquo; or &ldquo;10-foot user interface&rdquo;).
+Android Television devices:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST have an embedded screen OR include a video output port, such as VGA, HDMI,
+or a wireless port for display.</li>
+  <li>MUST declare the features android.software.leanback and
+android.hardware.type.television [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#FEATURE_LEANBACK">Resources, 3</a>].</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Android Watch device</strong> refers to an Android device implementation intended to be worn on the body,
+perhaps on the wrist, and:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST have a screen with the physical diagonal length in the range from 1.1 to
+2.5 inches.</li>
+  <li>MUST declare the feature android.hardware.type.watch.</li>
+  <li>MUST support uiMode = UI_MODE_TYPE_WATCH [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Configuration.html#UI_MODE_TYPE_WATCH">Resources, 4</a>].</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Android Automotive implementation</strong> refers to a vehicle head
+unit running Android as an operating system for part or all of the system and/or
+infotainment functionality. Android Automotive implementations MUST support
+uiMode = UI_MODE_TYPE_CAR [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Configuration.html#UI_MODE_TYPE_CAR">Resources, 111</a>].</p>
+
+<p>All Android device implementations that do not fit into any of the above device
+types still MUST meet all requirements in this document to be Android ANDROID_VERSION
+compatible, unless the requirement is explicitly described to be only
+applicable to a specific Android device type from above.</p>

+<h2 id="3_1_managed_api_compatibility">3.1. Managed API Compatibility</h2>
+
+
+<p>The managed Dalvik bytecode execution environment is the primary vehicle for
+Android applications. The Android application programming interface (API) is
+the set of Android platform interfaces exposed to applications running in the
+managed runtime environment. Device implementations MUST provide complete
+implementations, including all documented behaviors, of any documented API
+exposed by the Android SDK [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html">Resources, 5</a>] or any API decorated with the &ldquo;@SystemApi&rdquo; marker in the upstream Android
+source code. </p>
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST NOT omit any managed APIs, alter API interfaces or
+signatures, deviate from the documented behavior, or include no-ops, except
+where specifically allowed by this Compatibility Definition.</p>
+
+<p>This Compatibility Definition permits some types of hardware for which Android
+includes APIs to be omitted by device implementations. In such cases, the APIs
+MUST still be present and behave in a reasonable way. See <a href="#7_hardware_compatibility">section 7</a> for specific requirements for this scenario.</p>
+
+<h2 id="3_2_soft_api_compatibility">3.2. Soft API Compatibility</h2>
+
+
+<p>In addition to the managed APIs from <a href="#3_1_managed_api_compatibility">section 3.1</a>, Android also includes a significant runtime-only &ldquo;soft&rdquo; API, in the form of
+such things as intents, permissions, and similar aspects of Android
+applications that cannot be enforced at application compile time.</p>
+
+<h3 id="3_2_1_permissions">3.2.1. Permissions</h3>
+
+
+<p>Device implementers MUST support and enforce all permission constants as
+documented by the Permission reference page [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html">Resources, 6]</a>. Note that <a href="#9_security_model_compatibility">section 9</a> lists additional requirements related to the Android security model.</p>
+
+<h3 id="3_2_2_build_parameters">3.2.2. Build Parameters</h3>
+
+
+<p>The Android APIs include a number of constants on the android.os.Build class [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.html">Resources, 7</a>] that are intended to describe the current device. To provide consistent,
+meaningful values across device implementations, the table below includes

+
+<h3 id="3_2_3_intent_compatibility">3.2.3. Intent Compatibility</h3>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST honor Android&rsquo;s loose-coupling intent system, as
+described in the sections below. By&ldquo;honored &rdquo; it is meant that the device
+implementer MUST provide an Android Activity or Service that specifies a
+matching intent filter that binds to and implements correct behavior for each
+specified intent pattern.</p>
+
+<h4 id="3_2_3_1_core_application_intents">3.2.3.1. Core Application Intents</h4>
+
+
+<p>Android intents allow application components to request functionality from
+other Android components. The Android upstream project includes a list of
+applications considered core Android applications, which implements several
+intent patterns to perform common actions. The core Android applications are:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Desk Clock</li>
+  <li>Browser</li>
+  <li>Calendar</li>
+  <li>Contacts</li>
+  <li>Gallery</li>
+  <li>GlobalSearch</li>
+  <li>Launcher</li>
+  <li>Music</li>
+  <li>Settings</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Device implementations SHOULD include the core Android applications as
+appropriate but MUST include a component implementing the same intent patterns
+defined by all the &ldquo;public&rdquo; Activity or Service components of these core
+Android applications. Note that Activity or Service components are considered
+&ldquo;public&rdquo; when the attribute android:exported is absent or has the value true.</p>
+
+<h4 id="3_2_3_2_intent_overrides">3.2.3.2. Intent Overrides</h4>
+
+
+<p>As Android is an extensible platform, device implementations MUST allow each
+intent pattern referenced in <a href="#3_2_3_1_core_application_intents">section 3.2.3.1</a> to be overridden by third-party applications. The upstream Android open source
+implementation allows this by default; device implementers MUST NOT attach
+special privileges to system applications' use of these intent patterns, or
+prevent third-party applications from binding to and assuming control of these
+patterns. This prohibition specifically includes but is not limited to
+disabling the&ldquo;Chooser&rdquo; user interface that allows the user to select between
+multiple applications that all handle the same intent pattern.</p>
+
+<p>However, device implementations MAY provide default activities for specific URI
+patterns (eg. http://play.google.com) if the default activity provides a more
+specific filter for the data URI. For example, an intent filter specifying the
+data URI &ldquo;http://www.android.com&rdquo; is more specific than the browser filter for&ldquo;http://&rdquo;. Device implementations MUST provide a user interface for users to
+modify the default activity for intents.</p>
+
+<h4 id="3_2_3_3_intent_namespaces">3.2.3.3. Intent Namespaces</h4>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST NOT include any Android component that honors any
+new intent or broadcast intent patterns using an ACTION, CATEGORY, or other key
+string in the android.* or com.android.* namespace. Device implementers MUST
+NOT include any Android components that honor any new intent or broadcast
+intent patterns using an ACTION, CATEGORY, or other key string in a package
+space belonging to another organization. Device implementers MUST NOT alter or
+extend any of the intent patterns used by the core apps listed in <a href="#3_2_3_1_core_application_intents">section 3.2.3.1</a>. Device implementations MAY include intent patterns using namespaces clearly
+and obviously associated with their own organization. This prohibition is
+analogous to that specified for Java language classes in <a href="#3_6_api_namespaces">section 3.6</a>.</p>
+
+<h4 id="3_2_3_4_broadcast_intents">3.2.3.4. Broadcast Intents</h4>
+
+
+<p>Third-party applications rely on the platform to broadcast certain intents to
+notify them of changes in the hardware or software environment.
+Android-compatible devices MUST broadcast the public broadcast intents in
+response to appropriate system events. Broadcast intents are described in the
+SDK documentation.</p>
+
+<h4 id="3_2_3_5_default_app_settings">3.2.3.5. Default App Settings</h4>
+
+
+<p>Android includes settings that provide users an easy way to select their
+default applications, for example for Home screen or SMS. Where it makes sense,
+device implementations MUST provide a similar settings menu and be compatible
+with the intent filter pattern and API methods described in the SDK
+documentation as below.</p>
+
+<p>Device implementations:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST honor the android.settings.HOME_SETTINGS intent to show a default app
+settings menu for Home Screen, if the device implementation reports
+android.software.home_screen [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.html">Resources, 10]</a></li>
+  <li>MUST provide a settings menu that will call the
+android.provider.Telephony.ACTION_CHANGE_DEFAULT intent to show a dialog to
+change the default SMS application, if the device implementation reports
+android.hardware.telephony [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Telephony.Sms.Intents.html">Resources, 9</a>]</li>
+  <li>MUST honor the android.settings.NFC_PAYMENT_SETTINGS intent to show a default
+app settings menu for Tap and Pay, if the device implementation reports
+android.hardware.nfc.hce [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.html">Resources, 10]</a></li>

+architecture. As native code is highly dependent on the underlying processor
+technology, Android defines a number of Application Binary Interfaces (ABIs) in
+the Android NDK. Device implementations MUST be compatible with one or more
+defined ABIs, and MUST implement compatibility with the Android NDK, as below.</p>
+
+<p>If a device implementation includes support for an Android ABI, it:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST include support for code running in the managed environment to call into
+native code, using the standard Java Native Interface (JNI) semantics</li>
+  <li>MUST be source-compatible (i.e. header compatible) and binary-compatible (for
+the ABI) with each required library in the list below</li>
+  <li>MUST support the equivalent 32-bit ABI if any 64-bit ABI is supported</li>
+  <li>MUST accurately report the native Application Binary Interface (ABI) supported
+by the device, via the android.os.Build.SUPPORTED_ABIS,
+android.os.Build.SUPPORTED_32_BIT_ABIS, and
+android.os.Build.SUPPORTED_64_BIT_ABIS parameters, each a comma separated list
+of ABIs ordered from the most to the least preferred one</li>
+  <li>MUST report, via the above parameters, only those ABIs documented in the latest
+version of the Android NDK, &ldquo;NDK Programmer&rsquo;s Guide | ABI Management&rdquo; in docs/
+directory</li>
+  <li>SHOULD be built using the source code and header files available in the
+upstream Android Open Source Project</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The following native code APIs MUST be available to apps that include native
+code:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>libc (C library)</li>
+  <li>libm (math library)</li>
+  <li>Minimal support for C++</li>
+  <li>JNI interface</li>
+  <li>liblog (Android logging)</li>
+  <li>libz (Zlib compression)</li>
+  <li>libdl (dynamic linker)</li>
+  <li>libGLESv1_CM.so (OpenGL ES 1.x)</li>
+  <li>libGLESv2.so (OpenGL ES 2.0)</li>
+  <li>libGLESv3.so (OpenGL ES 3.x)</li>
+  <li>libEGL.so (native OpenGL surface management)</li>
+  <li>libjnigraphics.so</li>
+  <li>libOpenSLES.so (OpenSL ES 1.0.1 audio support)</li>
+  <li>libOpenMAXAL.so (OpenMAX AL 1.0.1 support)</li>
+  <li>libandroid.so (native Android activity support)</li>
+  <li>libmediandk.so (native media APIs support)</li>
+  <li>Support for OpenGL, as described below</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Note that future releases of the Android NDK may introduce support for
+additional ABIs. If a device implementation is not compatible with an existing
+predefined ABI, it MUST NOT report support for any ABIs at all.</p>
+
+<p>Note that device implementations MUST include libGLESv3.so and it MUST symlink
+(symbolic link) to libGLESv2.so. in turn, MUST export all the OpenGL ES 3.1 and
+Android Extension Pack [<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/opengl.html#aep">Resources, 11</a>] function symbols as defined in the NDK release android-21. Although all the
+symbols must be present, only the corresponding functions for OpenGL ES
+versions and extensions actually supported by the device must be fully
+implemented.</p>
+
+<p>Native code compatibility is challenging. For this reason, device implementers
+are <strong>very strongly encouraged</strong> to use the implementations of the libraries listed above from the upstream
+Android Open Source Project. </p>

+3.3.2. 32-bit ARM Native Code Compatibility
+</h3>
+
+<p>The ARMv8 architecture deprecates several CPU operations, including some
+operations used in existing native code.  On 64-bit ARM devices, the following
+deprecated operations MUST remain available to 32-bit native ARM code, either
+through native CPU support or through software emulation:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>SWP and SWPB instructions</li>
+<li>SETEND instruction</li>
+<li>CP15ISB, CP15DSB, and CP15DMB barrier operations</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Legacy versions of the Android NDK used /proc/cpuinfo to discover CPU features
+from 32-bit ARM native code. For compatibility with applications built using this
+NDK, devices MUST include the following lines in /proc/cpuinfo when it is read
+by 32-bit ARM applications:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>&quot;Features: &quot;, followed by a list of any optional ARMv7 CPU features
+supported by the device</li>
+<li>&quot;CPU architecture: &quot;, followed by an integer describing the device's
+highest supported ARM architecture (e.g., &quot;8&quot; for ARMv8 devices)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>These requirements only apply when /proc/cpuinfo is read by 32-bit ARM
+applications. Devices SHOULD not alter /proc/cpuinfo when read by 64-bit ARM or
+non-ARM applications.</p>

+
+<div class="note">
+<p>Android Watch devices MAY, but all other device implementations MUST provide
+a complete implementation of the android.webkit.Webview API.</p>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>The platform feature android.software.webview MUST be reported on any device
+that provides a complete implementation of the android.webkit.WebView API, and
+MUST NOT be reported on devices without a complete implementation of the API.
+The Android Open Source implementation uses code from the Chromium Project to
+implement the android.webkit.WebView [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html">Resources, 12</a>]. Because it is not feasible to develop a comprehensive test suite for a web
+rendering system, device implementers MUST use the specific upstream build of
+Chromium in the WebView implementation. Specifically:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Device android.webkit.WebView implementations MUST be based on the Chromium
+build from the upstream Android Open Source Project for Android ANDROID_VERSION. This build
+includes a specific set of functionality and security fixes for the WebView [<a href="http://www.chromium.org/">Resources, 13</a>].</li>
+  <li>The user agent string reported by the WebView MUST be in this format:
+<p>Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android $(VERSION); $(MODEL) Build/$(BUILD)$(WEBVIEW))
+AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 $(CHROMIUM_VER) Mobile
+Safari/537.36</p>
+  <ul>
+    <li>The value of the $(VERSION) string MUST be the same as the value for
+android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE.</li>
+    <li>The $(WEBVIEW) string MAY be omitted, but if included MUST be "; wv" to
+        note that this is a webview</li>
+    <li>The value of the $(MODEL) string MUST be the same as the value for
+android.os.Build.MODEL.</li>
+    <li>The value of the $(BUILD) string MUST be the same as the value for
+android.os.Build.ID.</li>
+    <li>The value of the $(CHROMIUM_VER) string MUST be the version of Chromium in the
+upstream Android Open Source Project.</li>
+    <li>Device implementations MAY omit Mobile in the user agent string.</li>
+  </ul></li></ul>
+
+<p>The WebView component SHOULD include support for as many HTML5 features as
+possible and if it supports the feature SHOULD conform to the HTML5
+specification [<a href="http://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/">Resources, 14</a>].</p>
+
+<h3 id="3_4_2_browser_compatibility">3.4.2. Browser Compatibility</h3>
+
+<div class="note">
+<p>Android Television, Watch, and Android Automotive implementations MAY omit a
+browser application, but MUST support the public intent patterns as described in
+<a href="#3_2_3_1_core_application_intents">section 3.2.3.1</a>. All other types
+of device implementations MUST include a standalone Browser application for
+general user web browsing.</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>The standalone Browser MAY be based on a browser technology other than WebKit.
+However, even if an alternate Browser application is used, the
+android.webkit.WebView component provided to third-party applications MUST be
+based on WebKit, as described in <a href="#3_4_1_webview_compatibility">section 3.4.1</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Implementations MAY ship a custom user agent string in the standalone Browser
+application.</p>
+
+<p>The standalone Browser application (whether based on the upstream WebKit
+Browser application or a third-party replacement) SHOULD include support for as
+much of HTML5 [<a href="http://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/">Resources, 14</a>] as possible. Minimally, device implementations MUST support each of these
+APIs associated with HTML5:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>application cache/offline operation [<a href="http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/browsers.html#offline">Resources, 15</a>]</li>

+  <li>geolocation [<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/geolocation-API/">Resources, 17</a>]</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Additionally, device implementations MUST support the HTML5/W3C webstorage API
+[<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/webstorage/">Resources, 18</a>], and SHOULD support the HTML5/W3C IndexedDB API [<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/IndexedDB/">Resources, 19</a>]. Note that as the web development standards bodies are transitioning to favor
+IndexedDB over webstorage, IndexedDB is expected to become a required component
+in a future version of Android.</p>
+
+<h2 id="3_5_api_behavioral_compatibility">3.5. API Behavioral Compatibility</h2>
+
+
+<p>The behaviors of each of the API types (managed, soft, native, and web) must be
+consistent with the preferred implementation of the upstream Android Open
+Source Project [<a href="http://source.android.com/">Resources, 2</a>]. Some specific areas of compatibility are:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Devices MUST NOT change the behavior or semantics of a standard intent.</li>
+  <li>Devices MUST NOT alter the lifecycle or lifecycle semantics of a particular
+type of system component (such as Service, Activity, ContentProvider, etc.).</li>
+  <li>Devices MUST NOT change the semantics of a standard permission.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The above list is not comprehensive. The Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) tests
+significant portions of the platform for behavioral compatibility, but not all.
+It is the responsibility of the implementer to ensure behavioral compatibility
+with the Android Open Source Project. For this reason, device implementers
+SHOULD use the source code available via the Android Open Source Project where
+possible, rather than re-implement significant parts of the system.</p>
+
+<h2 id="3_6_api_namespaces">3.6. API Namespaces</h2>
+
+
+<p>Android follows the package and class namespace conventions defined by the Java
+programming language. To ensure compatibility with third-party applications,
+device implementers MUST NOT make any prohibited modifications (see below) to
+these package namespaces:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>java.*</li>
+  <li>javax.*</li>
+  <li>sun.*</li>
+  <li>android.*</li>
+  <li>com.android.*</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Prohibited modifications include</strong>:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Device implementations MUST NOT modify the publicly exposed APIs on the Android
+platform by changing any method or class signatures, or by removing classes or
+class fields.</li>
+  <li>Device implementers MAY modify the underlying implementation of the APIs, but
+such modifications MUST NOT impact the stated behavior and Java-language
+signature of any publicly exposed APIs.</li>
+  <li>Device implementers MUST NOT add any publicly exposed elements (such as classes
+or interfaces, or fields or methods to existing classes or interfaces) to the
+APIs above.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>A &ldquo;publicly exposed element&rdquo; is any construct which is not decorated with the&ldquo;@hide&rdquo; marker as used in the upstream Android source code. In other words,
+device implementers MUST NOT expose new APIs or alter existing APIs in the
+namespaces noted above. Device implementers MAY make internal-only
+modifications, but those modifications MUST NOT be advertised or otherwise
+exposed to developers.</p>
+
+<p>Device implementers MAY add custom APIs, but any such APIs MUST NOT be in a
+namespace owned by or referring to another organization. For instance, device
+implementers MUST NOT add APIs to the com.google.* or similar namespace: only
+Google may do so. Similarly, Google MUST NOT add APIs to other companies'
+namespaces. Additionally, if a device implementation includes custom APIs
+outside the standard Android namespace, those APIs MUST be packaged in an
+Android shared library so that only apps that explicitly use them (via the
+lt;uses-librarygt; mechanism) are affected by the increased memory usage of such
+APIs.</p>
+
+<p>If a device implementer proposes to improve one of the package namespaces above
+(such as by adding useful new functionality to an existing API, or adding a new
+API), the implementer SHOULD visit <a href="http://source.android.com/">source.android.com</a> and begin the process for contributing changes and code, according to the
+information on that site.</p>
+
+<p>Note that the restrictions above correspond to standard conventions for naming
+APIs in the Java programming language; this section simply aims to reinforce
+those conventions and make them binding through inclusion in this Compatibility
+Definition.</p>
+
+<h2 id="3_7_runtime_compatibility">3.7. Runtime Compatibility</h2>

+Dalvik bytecode specification and semantics [<a href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/dalvik/+/lollipop-release/docs/">Resources, 20</a>]. Device implementers SHOULD use ART, the reference upstream implementation of
+the Dalvik Executable Format, and the reference implementation&rsquo;s package
+management system.</p>
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST configure Dalvik runtimes to allocate memory in

+
+<h3 id="3_8_3_notifications">3.8.3. Notifications</h3>
+
+
+<p>Android includes APIs that allow developers to notify users of notable events [<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html">Resources, 22</a>], using hardware and software features of the device.</p>
+
+<p>Some APIs allow applications to perform notifications or attract attention
+using hardware&#8212;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. This behavior
+is further detailed in <a href="#7_hardware_compatibility">section 7</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Additionally, the implementation MUST correctly render all resources (icons, animation files
+etc.) provided for in the APIs
+[<a href="https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/available-resources.html">Resources, 23</a>],
+or in the Status/System Bar icon style guide
+[<a href="http://developer.android.com/design/style/iconography.html">Resources, 24</a>],
+which in the case of an Android Television device includes the possibility to not display the
+notifications. 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. </p>
+
+<p>Android includes support for various notifications, such as:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>Rich notifications</strong>. Interactive Views for ongoing notifications.</li>
+  <li><strong>Heads-up notifications</strong>. Interactive Views users can act on or dismiss without leaving the current app.</li>
+  <li><strong>Lockscreen notifications</strong>. Notifications shown over a lock screen with granular control on visibility.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Android device implementations, when such notifications are made visible, MUST properly execute
+Rich and Heads-up notifications and include the title/name, icon, text as documented in the Android
+APIs <a href="https://developer.android.com/design/patterns/notifications.html">[Resources, 25]</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>Android includes Notification Listener Service APIs that allow apps (once
+explicitly enabled by the user) to receive a copy of all notifications as they
+are posted or updated. Device implementations MUST correctly and promptly send
+notifications in their entirety to all such installed and user-enabled listener
+services, including any and all metadata attached to the Notification object.</p>
+
+<h3 id="3_8_4_search">3.8.4. Search</h3>
+
+
+<p>Android includes APIs [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/SearchManager.html">Resources, 26</a>] that allow developers to incorporate search into their applications, and
+expose their application&rsquo;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.</p>
+
+<p>Android device implementations SHOULD include global search, a single, shared,
+system-wide search user interface capable of real-time suggestions in response
+to user input. Device implementations SHOULD implement the APIs that allow
+developers to reuse this user interface to provide search within their own
+applications. Device implementations that implement the global search interface
+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.</p>
+
+<h3 id="3_8_5_toasts">3.8.5. Toasts</h3>
+
+
+<p>Applications can use the &ldquo;Toast&rdquo; API to display short non-modal strings to the
+end user, that disappear after a brief period of time [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Toast.html">Resources, 27</a>]. Device implementations MUST display Toasts from applications to end users in
+some high-visibility manner.</p>
+
+<h3 id="3_8_6_themes">3.8.6. Themes</h3>
+
+
+<p>Android provides &ldquo;themes&rdquo; as a mechanism for applications to apply styles
+across an entire Activity or application.</p>
+
+<p>Android includes a &ldquo;Holo&rdquo; theme family 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 [<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/themes.html">Resources, 28</a>]. Device implementations MUST NOT alter any of the Holo theme attributes
+exposed to applications [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.style.html">Resources, 29</a>].</p>
+
+<p>Android includes a &ldquo;Material&rdquo; theme family as a set of defined styles for
+application developers to use if they want to match the design theme&rsquo;s look and
+feel across the wide variety of different Android device types. Device
+implementations MUST support the &ldquo;Material&rdquo; theme family and MUST NOT alter any
+of the Material theme attributes or their assets exposed to applications [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.style.html#Theme_Material">Resources, 30</a>].</p>
+
+<p>Android also includes a &ldquo;Device Default&rdquo; theme family 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 Device Default theme attributes exposed to
+applications [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.style.html">Resources, 29</a>].</p>
+
+<p>Android supports a new variant theme with translucent system bars, which allows
+application developers to fill the area behind the status and navigation bar
+with their app content. To enable a consistent developer experience in this
+configuration, it is important the status bar icon style is maintained across
+different device implementations. Therefore, Android device implementations
+MUST use white for system status icons (such as signal strength and battery
+level) and notifications issued by the system, unless the icon is indicating a
+problematic status [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.style.html">Resources, 29</a>].</p>
+
+<h3 id="3_8_7_live_wallpapers">3.8.7. Live Wallpapers</h3>
+
+
+<p>Android defines a component type and corresponding API and lifecycle that
+allows applications to expose one or more &ldquo;Live Wallpapers&rdquo; to the end user [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/wallpaper/WallpaperService.html">Resources, 31</a>]. Live wallpapers are animations, patterns, or similar images with limited
+input capabilities that display as a wallpaper, behind other applications.</p>
+
+<p>Hardware is considered capable of reliably running live wallpapers if it can
+run all live wallpapers, with no limitations on functionality, at a reasonable
+frame rate with no adverse effects on other applications. If limitations in the

+
+
+<p>Android provides an API for audio effects for device implementations [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/audiofx/AudioEffect.html">Resources, 52</a>]. Device implementations that declare the feature

+
+<h2 id="5_6_audio_latency">5.6. Audio Latency</h2>
+
+
+<p>Audio latency is the time delay as an audio signal passes through a system.
+Many classes of applications rely on short latencies, to achieve real-time
+sound effects.</p>
+
+<p>For the purposes of this section, use the following definitions:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>output latency</strong>. The interval between when an application writes a frame of PCM-coded data and
+when the corresponding sound can be heard by an external listener or observed
+by a transducer.</li>
+  <li><strong>cold output latency</strong>. The output latency for the first frame, when the audio output system has been
+idle and powered down prior to the request.</li>
+  <li><strong>continuous output latency</strong>. The output latency for subsequent frames, after the device is playing audio.</li>
+  <li><strong>input latency</strong>. The interval between when an external sound is presented to the device and
+when an application reads the corresponding frame of PCM-coded data.</li>
+  <li><strong>cold input latency</strong>. The sum of lost input time and the input latency for the first frame, when the
+audio input system has been idle and powered down prior to the request.</li>
+  <li><strong>continuous input latency</strong>. The input latency for subsequent frames, while the device is capturing audio.</li>
+  <li><strong>cold output jitter</strong>. The variance among separate measurements of cold output latency values.</li>
+  <li><strong>cold input jitter</strong>. The variance among separate measurements of cold input latency values.</li>
+  <li><strong>continuous round-trip latency</strong>. The sum of continuous input latency plus continuous output latency plus 5
+milliseconds.</li>
+  <li><strong>OpenSL ES PCM buffer queue API</strong>. The set of PCM-related OpenSL ES APIs within Android NDK; see
+NDK_root/docs/opensles/index.html.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Device implementations that declare android.hardware.audio.output SHOULD meet
+or exceed these audio output requirements:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>cold output latency of 100 milliseconds or less</li>
+  <li>continuous output latency of 45 milliseconds or less</li>
+  <li>minimize the cold output jitter</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If a device implementation meets the requirements of this section after any
+initial calibration when using the OpenSL ES PCM buffer queue API, for
+continuous output latency and cold output latency over at least one supported
+audio output device, it MAY report support for low-latency audio, by reporting
+the feature android.hardware.audio.low_latency via the
+android.content.pm.PackageManager class [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html">Resources, 53</a>]. Conversely, if the device implementation does not meet these requirements it
+MUST NOT report support for low-latency audio.</p>
+
+<p>Device implementations that include android.hardware.microphone SHOULD meet
+these input audio requirements:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>cold input latency of 100 milliseconds or less</li>
+  <li>continuous input latency of 30 milliseconds or less</li>

+  <li>minimize the cold input jitter</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="5_7_network_protocols">5.7. Network Protocols</h2>
+
+
+<p>Devices MUST support the media network protocols for audio and video playback
+as specified in the Android SDK documentation [<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html">Resources, 50</a>]. Specifically, devices MUST support the following media network protocols:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>RTSP (RTP, SDP)</li>
+  <li>HTTP(S) progressive streaming</li>
+  <li>HTTP(S) Live Streaming draft protocol, Version 3 [<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-03">Resources, 54</a>]</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="5_8_secure_media">5.8. Secure Media</h2>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations that support secure video output and are capable of
+supporting secure surfaces MUST declare support for Display.FLAG_SECURE. Device
+implementations that declare support for Display.FLAG_SECURE, if they support a
+wireless display protocol, MUST secure the link with a cryptographically strong
+mechanism such as HDCP 2.x or higher for Miracast wireless displays. Similarly
+if they support a wired external display, the device implementations MUST
+support HDCP 1.2 or higher. Android Television device implementations MUST
+support HDCP 2.2 for devices supporting 4K resolution and HDCP 1.4 or above for
+lower resolutions. The upstream Android open source implementation includes
+support for wireless (Miracast) and wired (HDMI) displays that satisfies this
+requirement.</p>
+
+<h2 id="5_9_midi">5.9. Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)</h2>
+
+<p>
+If a device implementation supports the inter-app MIDI software transport
+(virtual MIDI devices), and it supports MIDI over
+<em>all</em> of the following MIDI-capable hardware transports
+for which it provides generic non-MIDI connectivity, it MAY report
+support for feature android.software.midi via the
+android.content.pm.PackageManager class
+[<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html">Resources, 53</a>].
+</p>
+
+<p>The MIDI-capable hardware transports are:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>USB host mode (section 7.7 USB)</li>
+  <li>USB peripheral mode (section 7.7 USB)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Conversely, if the device implementation provides generic non-MIDI connectivity over a particular
+MIDI-capable hardware transport listed above, but does not support MIDI over that hardware transport,
+it MUST NOT report support for feature android.software.midi.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+MIDI over Bluetooth LE acting in central role (section 7.4.3 Bluetooth)
+is in trial use status.  A device implementation that reports
+feature android.software.midi, and which provides generic non-MIDI connectivity
+over Bluetooth LE, SHOULD support MIDI over Bluetooth LE.

+<h1 id="6_developer_tools_and_options_compatibility">6. Developer Tools and Options Compatibility</h1>
+
+<h2 id="6_1_developer_tools">6.1. Developer Tools</h2>
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST support the Android Developer Tools provided in the
+Android SDK. Android compatible devices MUST be compatible with:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>Android Debug Bridge (adb)</strong> [<a href="http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html">Resources, 55</a>]</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST support all adb functions as documented in the
+Android SDK including dumpsys [<a href="https://source.android.com/devices/input/diagnostics.html">Resources, 56</a>]. 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. If a device
+implementation omits USB peripheral mode, it MUST implement the Android Debug
+Bridge via local-area network (such as Ethernet or 802.11). </p>
+
+<p>Android includes support for secure adb. Secure adb enables adb on known
+authenticated hosts. Device implementations MUST support secure adb.</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>Dalvik Debug Monitor Service (ddms)</strong> [<a href="http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/ddms.html">Resources, 57</a>]</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>Monkey</strong> [<a href="http://developer.android.com/tools/help/monkey.html">Resources, 58</a>]</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST include the Monkey framework, and make it available
+for applications to use.</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>SysTrace</strong> [<a href="http://developer.android.com/tools/help/systrace.html">Resources, 59</a>]</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST support systrace tool as documented in the Android
+SDK. Systrace must be inactive by default, and there MUST be a user-accessible
+mechanism to turn on Systrace.</p>
+
+<p>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,
+Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 9 in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.</p>
+
+<h2 id="6_2_developer_options">6.2. Developer Options</h2>
+
+
+<p>Android includes support for developers to configure application
+development-related settings. Device implementations MUST honor the
+android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS intent to show application
+development-related settings [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.html#ACTION_APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS">Resources, 60</a>]. The upstream Android implementation hides the Developer Options menu by
+default and enables users to launch Developer Options after pressing seven (7)
+times on the <strong>Settings</strong> > <strong>About Device</strong> > <strong>Build Number</strong> menu item. Device implementations MUST provide a consistent experience for
+Developer Options. Specifically, device implementations MUST hide Developer
+Options by default and MUST provide a mechanism to enable Developer Options
+that is consistent with the upstream Android implementation.</p>
+
+<h1 id="7_hardware_compatibility">7. Hardware Compatibility</h1>
+
+
+<p>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:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Complete class definitions (as documented by the SDK) for the component APIs
+MUST still be presented.
+  <li>The API&rsquo;s behaviors MUST be implemented as no-ops in some reasonable fashion.
+  <li>API methods MUST return null values where permitted by the SDK documentation.
+  <li>API methods MUST return no-op implementations of classes where null values are
+not permitted by the SDK documentation.
+  <li>API methods MUST NOT throw exceptions not documented by the SDK documentation.
+</ul>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST consistently report accurate hardware configuration
+information via the getSystemAvailableFeatures() and hasSystemFeature(String)
+methods on the android.content.pm.PackageManager class for the same build
+fingerprint. [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html">Resources, 53]</a></p>
+
+<h2 id="7_1_display_and_graphics">7.1. Display and Graphics</h2>

+
+<p>Android 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 [<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html">Resources, 61</a>]. Devices MUST properly implement these APIs and behaviors, as detailed in
+this section.</p>
+
+<p>The units referenced by the requirements in this section are defined as
+follows:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>physical diagonal size</strong>. The distance in inches between two opposing corners of the illuminated portion
+of the display.</li>
+  <li><strong>dots per inch (dpi)</strong>. The number of pixels encompassed by a linear horizontal or vertical span of
+1&rdquo;. Where dpi values are listed, both horizontal and vertical dpi must fall
+within the range.</li>
+  <li><strong>aspect ratio</strong>. The ratio of the pixels of the longer dimension
+  to the shorter dimension of the screen. For example, a display of 480x854 pixels
+  would be 854/480 = 1.779, or roughly &ldquo;16:9&rdquo;.</li>
+  <li><strong>density-independent pixel (dp)</strong> The virtual pixel unit normalized to a 160 dpi screen, calculated as: pixels =

+
+<div class="note">
+<p>Android Watch devices MAY have an aspect ratio of 1.0 (1:1).</p>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>The screen aspect ratio MUST be a value from 1.3333 (4:3) to 1.86 (roughly
+16:9), but Android Watch devices MAY have an aspect ratio of 1.0 (1:1) because

+
+<h4 id="7_1_1_3_screen_density">7.1.1.3. Screen Density</h4>
+
+
+<p>The Android UI framework defines a set of standard logical densities to help
+application developers target application resources. Device implementations
+MUST report only one of the following logical Android framework densities
+through the android.util.DisplayMetrics APIs, and MUST execute applications at
+this standard density and MUST NOT change the value at at any time for the
+default display.</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>120 dpi (ldpi)</li>

+  <li>560 dpi (560dpi)</li>
+  <li>640 dpi (xxxhdpi)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<h3 id="7_1_2_display_metrics">7.1.2. Display Metrics</h3>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST report correct values for all display metrics
+defined in android.util.DisplayMetrics [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/DisplayMetrics.html">Resources, 62</a>] and MUST report the same values regardless of whether the embedded or
+external screen is used as the default display.</p>
+
+<h3 id="7_1_3_screen_orientation">7.1.3. Screen Orientation</h3>
+
+
+<p>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, SHOULD only
+report android.hardware.screen.landscape.</p>
+
+<p>Devices that report both screen orientations MUST support dynamic orientation
+by applications to either portrait or landscape screen orientation. That is,
+the device must respect the application&rsquo;s request for a specific screen
+orientation. Device implementations MAY select either portrait or landscape
+orientation as the default.</p>
+
+<p>Devices MUST report the correct value for the device&rsquo;s current orientation,
+whenever queried via the android.content.res.Configuration.orientation,
+android.view.Display.getOrientation(), or other APIs.</p>
+
+<p>Devices MUST NOT change the reported screen size or density when changing
+orientation.</p>
+
+<h3 id="7_1_4_2d_and_3d_graphics_acceleration">7.1.4. 2D and 3D Graphics Acceleration</h3>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST support both OpenGL ES 1.0 and 2.0, as embodied and
+detailed in the Android SDK documentations. Device implementations SHOULD
+support OpenGL ES 3.0 or 3.1 on devices capable of supporting it. Device
+implementations MUST also support Android RenderScript, as detailed in the
+Android SDK documentation [<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/renderscript/">Resources, 63</a>].</p>
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST also correctly identify themselves as supporting
+OpenGL ES 1.0, OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL ES 3.0 or OpenGL 3.1. That is:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>The managed APIs (such as via the GLES10.getString() method) MUST report support
+for OpenGL ES 1.0 and OpenGL ES 2.0.</li>
+  <li>The native C/C++ OpenGL APIs (APIs available to apps via libGLES_v1CM.so,
+libGLES_v2.so, or libEGL.so) MUST report support for OpenGL ES 1.0 and OpenGL
+ES 2.0.</li>
+  <li>Device implementations that declare support for OpenGL ES 3.0 or 3.1 MUST
+support the corresponding managed APIs and include support for native C/C++
+APIs. On device implementations that declare support for OpenGL ES 3.0 or 3.1,
+libGLESv2.so MUST export the corresponding function symbols in addition to the
+OpenGL ES 2.0 function symbols.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>In addition to OpenGL ES 3.1, Android provides an extension pack with Java
+interfaces [<a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/opengl/GLES31Ext.html">Resources, 64</a>] and native support for advanced graphics functionality such as tessellation
+and the ASTC texture compression format. Android device implementations MAY
+support this extension pack, and&mdash;only if fully implemented&mdash;MUST identify the
+support through the android.hardware.opengles.aep feature flag.</p>
+
+<p>Also, 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.</p>
+
+<p>Note that Android 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
+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.</p>
+
+<p>Android includes a mechanism for applications to declare that they want 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 [<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/hardware-accel.html">Resources, 65</a>].</p>
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST enable hardware acceleration by default, and MUST
+disable hardware acceleration if the developer so requests by setting
+android:hardwareAccelerated="false&rdquo; or disabling hardware acceleration directly
+through the Android View APIs.</p>
+
+<p>In addition, device implementations MUST exhibit behavior consistent with the
+Android SDK documentation on hardware acceleration [<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/hardware-accel.html">Resources, 65</a>].</p>
+
+<p>Android 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.</p>
+
+<p>Android includes support for EGL_ANDROID_RECORDABLE, an EGLConfig attribute
+that indicates whether the EGLConfig supports rendering to an ANativeWindow
+that records images to a video. Device implementations MUST support
+EGL_ANDROID_RECORDABLE extension [<a href="https://www.khronos.org/registry/egl/extensions/ANDROID/EGL_ANDROID_recordable.txt">Resources, 66</a>].</p>
+
+<h3 id="7_1_5_legacy_application_compatibility_mode">7.1.5. Legacy Application Compatibility Mode</h3>
+
+
+<p>Android specifies a &ldquo;compatibility mode&rdquo; in which the framework operates in a
+'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.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Android Automotive does not support legacy compatibility mode.</li>
+<li>All other 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.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="7_1_6_screen_technology">7.1.6. Screen Technology</h3>
+

+the Android SDK unless specifically allowed in this document. </p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Devices MUST support displays capable of rendering 16-bit color graphics and
+SHOULD support displays capable of 24-bit color graphics.</li>
+  <li>Devices MUST support displays capable of rendering animations.</li>
+  <li>The display technology used MUST have a pixel aspect ratio (PAR) between 0.9

+15% tolerance.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="7_1_7_external_displays">7.1.7. Secondary Displays</h3>
+
+
+<p>Android includes support for secondary display to enable media sharing
+capabilities and developer APIs for accessing external displays. If a device
+supports an external display either via a wired, wireless, or an embedded
+additional display connection then the device implementation MUST implement the

+
+<div class="note">
+<p>The availability and visibility requirement of the Home, Recents, and Back
+functions differ between device types as described in this section.</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>The Home, Recents, and Back functions (mapped to the key events KEYCODE_HOME,
+KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH, KEYCODE_BACK, respectively) are essential to the Android
+navigation paradigm and therefore:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Android Handheld device implementations MUST provide the Home, Recents, and
+Back functions.</li>
+  <li>Android Television device implementations MUST provide the Home and Back
+functions.</li>
+  <li>Android Watch device implementations MUST have the Home function available to
+the user, and the Back function except for when it is in UI_MODE_TYPE_WATCH.</li>
+  <li>Android Automotive implementations MUST provide the Home function and MAY
+provide Back and Recent functions.</li>
+  <li>All other types of device implementations MUST provide the Home and Back
+functions.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>These functions MAY be implemented via dedicated physical buttons (such as
+mechanical or capacitive touch buttons), or MAY be implemented using dedicated
+software keys on a distinct portion of the screen, gestures, touch panel, etc.
+Android supports both implementations. All of these functions MUST be
+accessible with a single action (e.g. tap, double-click or gesture) when
+visible.</p>
+
+<p>Recents function, if provided, MUST have a visible button or icon unless hidden
+together with other navigation functions in full-screen mode. This does not
+apply to devices upgrading from earlier Android versions that have physical
+buttons for navigation and no recents key.</p>
+
+<p> The Home and Back functions, if provided, MUST each have a visible button or
+icon unless hidden together with other navigation functions in full-screen mode
+or when the uiMode UI_MODE_TYPE_MASK is set to UI_MODE_TYPE_WATCH.</p>
+
+<p>The Menu function is deprecated in favor of action bar since Android 4.0.
+Therefore the new device implementations shipping with Android ANDROID_VERSION and later MUST NOT
+implement a dedicated physical button for the Menu function. Older device
+implementations SHOULD NOT implement a dedicated physical button for the Menu
+function, but if the physical Menu button is implemented and the device is
+running applications with targetSdkVersion > 10, the device implementation:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST display the action overflow button on the action bar when it is visible
+and the resulting action overflow menu popup is not empty. For a device
+implementation launched before Android 4.4 but upgrading to Android ANDROID_VERSION, this
+is RECOMMENDED.</li>
+  <li>MUST NOT modify the position of the action overflow popup displayed by
+selecting the overflow button in the action bar.</li>
+  <li>MAY render the action overflow popup at a modified position on the screen when
+it is displayed by selecting the physical menu button.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>For backwards compatibility, device implementations MUST make the Menu function
+available to applications when targetSdkVersion is less than 10, either by a physical
+button, a software key, or gestures. This Menu function should be presented
+unless hidden together with other navigation functions.</p>
+
+<p>Android supports Assist action [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_ASSIST">Resources, 69</a>]. Android device implementations except for Android Watch devices MUST make
+the Assist action available to the user at all times when running applications.
+The Assist action SHOULD be implemented as a long-press on the Home button or a
+swipe-up gesture on the software Home key. This function MAY be implemented via
+another physical button, software key, or gesture, but MUST be accessible with
+a single action (e.g. tap, double-click, or gesture) when other navigation keys
+are visible.</p>
+
+<p>Device implementations MAY use a distinct portion of the screen to display the
+navigation keys, but if so, MUST meet these requirements:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>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.</li>
+  <li>Device implementations MUST make available a portion of the display to
+applications that meets the requirements defined in <a href="#7_1_1_screen_configuration">section 7.1.1</a>.</li>
+  <li>Device implementations MUST display the navigation keys when applications do
+not specify a system UI mode, or specify SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE.</li>
+  <li>Device implementations MUST present the navigation keys in an unobtrusive &ldquo;low
+profile&rdquo; (eg. dimmed) mode when applications specify
+SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE.</li>

+
+<div class="note">
+<p>Android Handhelds and Watch Devices MUST support touchscreen input.</p>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations SHOULD have a pointer input system of some kind (either
+mouse-like or touch). However, if a device implementation does not support a
+pointer input system, it MUST NOT report the android.hardware.touchscreen or
+android.hardware.faketouch feature constant. Device implementations that do
+include a pointer input system:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>SHOULD support fully independently tracked pointers, if the device input system
+supports multiple pointers.</li>
+  <li>MUST report the value of android.content.res.Configuration.touchscreen [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Configuration.html">Resources, 68</a>] corresponding to the type of the specific touchscreen on the device.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Android includes support for a variety of touchscreens, touch pads, and fake
+touch input devices. Touchscreen based device implementations are associated
+with a display [<a href="http://source.android.com/devices/tech/input/touch-devices.html">Resources, 70</a>] 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 includes the feature
+constant android.hardware.faketouch, which corresponds to a high-fidelity
+non-touch (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 <a href="#7_2_5_fake_touch_input">section 7.2.5</a>.</p>
+
+<p>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 report the platform feature constant
+android.hardware.touchscreen. Device implementations that report the platform
+feature constant android.hardware.touchscreen 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 <a href="#7_2_5_fake_touch_input">section 7.2.5</a>.</p>
+
+<h3 id="7_2_5_fake_touch_input">7.2.5. Fake Touch Input</h3>
+

+<h3 id="7_2_7_remote_control">7.2.7. Remote Control</h3>
+
+
+<p>Android Television device implementations SHOULD provide a remote control to
+allow users to access the TV interface. The remote control MAY be a physical
+remote or can be a software-based remote that is accessible from a mobile phone
+or tablet. The remote control MUST meet the requirements defined below.</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>Search affordance</strong>. Device implementations MUST fire KEYCODE_SEARCH when the user invokes voice search either on the physical or software-based remote.</li>
+  <li><strong>Navigation</strong>. All Android Television remotes MUST include Back, Home, and Select buttons and
+support for D-pad events [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html">Resources, 72</a>].</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="7_3_sensors">7.3. Sensors</h2>
+
+
+<p>Android 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 and the
+Android Open Source documentation on sensors [<a href="http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/">Resources, 73</a>]. For example, device implementations:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST accurately report the presence or absence of sensors per the
+android.content.pm.PackageManager class [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html">Resources, 53]</a>.</li>
+  <li>MUST return an accurate list of supported sensors via the
+SensorManager.getSensorList() and similar methods.</li>
+  <li>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.).</li>
+  <li>MUST report all sensor measurements using the relevant International System of
+Units (metric) values for each sensor type as defined in the Android SDK
+documentation [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/SensorEvent.html">Resources, 74</a>].</li>
+  <li>SHOULD report the event time in nanoseconds as defined in the Android SDK
+documentation, representing the time the event happened and synchronized with
+the SystemClock.elapsedRealtimeNano() clock. Existing and new Android devices
+are <strong>very strongly encouraged</strong> to meet these requirement so they will be able to upgrade to the future
+platform releases where this might become a REQUIRED component. The
+synchronization error SHOULD be below 100 milliseconds [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/SensorEvent.html#timestamp">Resources, 75</a>].</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The list above is not comprehensive; the documented behavior of the Android SDK
+and the Android Open Source Documentations on Sensors [<a href="http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/">Resources, 73</a>] is to be considered authoritative.</p>
+
+<p>Some sensor types are composite, 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 as described
+in [<a href="https://source.android.com/devices/sensors/sensor-types.html">Resources, 76</a>].
+If a device implementation includes a composite sensor it MUST implement the
+sensor as described in the Android Open Source documentation on composite
+sensors [<a href="https://source.android.com/devices/sensors/sensor-types.html#composite_sensor_type_summary">Resources, 76</a>].</p>
+
+<p>Some Android sensors support a &ldquo;continuous&rdquo; trigger mode, which returns data
+continuously [<a href="https://source.android.com/devices/sensors/report-modes.html#continuous">Resources, 77</a>]. For any API indicated by the Android SDK documentation to be a continuous
+sensor, device implementations MUST continuously provide periodic data samples
+that SHOULD have a jitter below 3%, where jitter is defined as the standard
+deviation of the difference of the reported timestamp values between
+consecutive events.</p>
+
+<p>Note that the device implementations MUST ensure that the sensor event stream
+MUST NOT prevent the device CPU from entering a suspend state or waking up from
+a suspend state.</p>
+
+<p>Finally, when several sensors are activated, the power consumption SHOULD NOT
+exceed the sum of the individual sensor&rsquo;s reported power consumption.</p>
+
+<h3 id="7_3_1_accelerometer">7.3.1. Accelerometer</h3>
+

+sensors are implemented, the sum of their power consumption MUST always be less
+than 4 mW and SHOULD each be below 2 mW and 0.5 mW for when the device is in a

+
+
+<p>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,

+
+<h2 id="7_5_cameras">7.5. Cameras</h2>
+
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>If a device implementation includes at least one camera, it SHOULD be possible
+for an application to simultaneously allocate 3 bitmaps equal to the size of
+the images produced by the largest-resolution camera sensor on the device.</p>
+
+<h3 id="7_5_1_rear-facing_camera">7.5.1. Rear-Facing Camera</h3>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations SHOULD include a rear-facing camera. If a device

+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST report the feature flag android.hardware.camera and
+android.hardware.camera.any.</li>
+  <li>MUST have a resolution of at least 2 megapixels.</li>
+  <li>SHOULD have either hardware auto-focus or software auto-focus implemented in
+the camera driver (transparent to application software).</li>
+  <li>MAY have fixed-focus or EDOF (extended depth of field) hardware.</li>
+  <li>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&rsquo;s built-in system camera application, but only to third-party
+applications using Camera.PreviewCallback.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="7_5_2_front-facing_camera">7.5.2. Front-Facing Camera</h3>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations MAY include a front-facing camera. If a device
+implementation includes at least one front-facing camera, it:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST report the feature flag android.hardware.camera.any and
+android.hardware.camera.front.</li>
+  <li>MUST have a resolution of at least VGA (640x480 pixels).</li>
+  <li>MUST NOT use a front-facing camera as the default for the Camera API. The
+camera API in Android 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.</li>
+  <li>MAY include features (such as auto-focus, flash, etc.) available to rear-facing
+cameras as described in <a href="#7_5_1_rear-facing_camera">section 7.5.1</a>.</li>
+  <li>MUST horizontally reflect (i.e. mirror) the stream displayed by an app in a
+CameraPreview, as follows:
+  <ul>
+    <li>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&rsquo;s current
+orientation.</li>
+    <li>If the current application has explicitly requested that the Camera display be
+rotated via a call to the android.hardware.Camera.setDisplayOrientation()[<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.html#setDisplayOrientation(int)">Resources, 90</a>] method, the camera preview MUST be mirrored horizontally relative to the
+orientation specified by the application.</li>
+    <li>Otherwise, the preview MUST be mirrored along the device&rsquo;s default horizontal
+axis.</li>
+  </ul></li>
+  <li>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.</li>
+  <li>MUST NOT mirror the final captured still image or video streams returned to
+application callbacks or committed to media storage.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="7_5_3_external_camera">7.5.3. External Camera</h3>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations with USB host mode MAY include support for an external
+camera that connects to the USB port. If a device includes support for an
+external camera, it:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST declare the platform feature android.hardware.camera.external and
+android.hardware camera.any.</li>
+  <li>MUST support USB Video Class (UVC 1.0 or higher).</li>
+  <li>MAY support multiple cameras.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Video compression (such as MJPEG) support is RECOMMENDED to enable transfer of
+high-quality unencoded streams (i.e. raw or independently compressed picture
+streams). Camera-based video encoding MAY be supported. If so, a simultaneous
+unencoded/ MJPEG stream (QVGA or greater resolution) MUST be accessible to the
+device implementation.</p>
+
+<h3 id="7_5_4_camera_api_behavior">7.5.4. Camera API Behavior</h3>
+
+
+<p>Android includes two API packages to access the camera, the newer
+android.hardware.camera2 API expose lower-level camera control to the app,
+including efficient zero-copy burst/streaming flows and per-frame controls of
+exposure, gain, white balance gains, color conversion, denoising, sharpening,
+and more.</p>
+
+<p>The older API package, android.hardware.Camera, is marked as deprecated in
+Android 5.0 but as it should still be available for apps to use Android device
+implementations MUST ensure the continued support of the API as described in
+this section and in the Android SDK.</p>
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST implement the following behaviors for the
+camera-related APIs, for all available cameras:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>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.</li>
+  <li>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.</li>
+  <li>For android.hardware.Camera, 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
+encoder and camera may use any native pixel format, but the device
+implementation MUST support conversion to YV12.)</li>
+  <li>For android.hardware.camera2, device implementations must support the
+android.hardware.ImageFormat.YUV_420_888 and android.hardware.ImageFormat.JPEG
+formats as outputs through the android.media.ImageReader API.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST still implement the full Camera API included in the
+Android SDK documentation [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.html">Resources, 91</a>], 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 &ldquo;faked&rdquo; as described.</p>
+
+<p>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. For instance,
+device implementations that support image capture using high dynamic range
+(HDR) imaging techniques MUST support camera parameter Camera.SCENE_MODE_HDR [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.Parameters.html">Resources, 92</a>].</p>
+
+<p>Because not all device implementations can fully support all the features of
+the android.hardware.camera2 API, device implementations MUST report the proper
+level of support with the android.info.supportedHardwareLevel property as
+described in the Android SDK [<a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/camera2/CameraCharacteristics.html#INFO_SUPPORTED_HARDWARE_LEVEL">Resources, 93]</a> and report the appropriate framework feature flags [<a href="http://source.android.com/devices/camera/versioning.html">Resources, 94]</a>. </p>
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST also declare its Individual camera capabilities of
+android.hardware.camera2 via the android.request.availableCapabilities property
+and declare the appropriate feature flags [<a href="http://source.android.com/devices/camera/versioning.html">Resources, 94]</a>; a device must define the feature flag if any of its attached camera devices supports the feature.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<h3 id="7_5_5_camera_orientation">7.5.5. Camera Orientation</h3>
+
+
+<p>Both front- and rear-facing cameras, if present, MUST be oriented so that the
+long dimension of the camera aligns with the screen&rsquo;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&rsquo;s
+natural orientation; that is, it applies to landscape-primary devices as well
+as portrait-primary devices.</p>

+<p>Device implementations MUST offer shared storage for applications also often
+referred as &ldquo;shared external storage&rdquo;. </p>
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST be configured with shared storage mounted by
+default, &ldquo;out of the box&rdquo;. 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.</p>
+
+<p>Device implementations MAY have hardware for user-accessible removable storage,
+such as a Secure Digital (SD) card slot. If this slot is used to satisfy the
+shared storage requirement, the device implementation:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST implement a toast or pop-up user interface warning the user when there is
+no SD card.</li>
+  <li>MUST include a FAT-formatted SD card 1GB in size or larger OR show on the box
+and other material available at time of purchase that the SD card has to be
+separately purchased.</li>
+  <li>MUST mount the SD card by default.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Alternatively, device implementations MAY allocate internal (non-removable)
+storage as shared storage for apps as included in the upstream Android Open
+Source Project; device implementations SHOULD use this configuration and
+software implementation. If a device implementation uses internal
+(non-removable) storage to satisfy the shared storage 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).</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>Device implementations that include multiple shared storage paths (such as both
+an SD card slot and shared internal storage) MUST NOT allow Android
+applications to write to the secondary external storage, except for their

+scanner service and android.provider.MediaStore.</p>
+
+<p>Regardless of the form of shared storage used, if the device implementation
+has a USB port with USB peripheral mode support, it MUST provide some mechanism
+to access the contents of shared storage from a host computer. Device

+  <li><strong>User interface latency</strong>. Device implementations MUST ensure low latency user experience by scrolling a
+list of 10K list entries as defined by the Android Compatibility Test Suite
+(CTS) in less than 36 secs.</li>
+  <li><strong>Task switching</strong>. When multiple applications have been launched, re-launching an already-running
+application after it has been launched MUST take less than 1 second.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="8_2_file_i_o_access_performance">8.2. File I/O Access Performance</h2>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST ensure internal storage file access performance consistency for read
+and write operations. </p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>Sequential write</strong>. Device implementations MUST ensure a sequential write performance of at least 5MB/s
+for a 256MB file using 10MB write buffer.</li>
+  <li><strong>Random write</strong>. Device implementations MUST ensure a random write performance of at least 0.5MB/s for a
+256MB file using 4KB write buffer.</li>
+  <li><strong>Sequential read</strong>. Device implementations MUST ensure a sequential read performance of at least 15MB/s for
+a 256MB file using 10MB write buffer.</li>
+  <li><strong>Random read</strong>. Device implementations MUST ensure a random read performance of at least 3.5MB/s for a
+256MB file using 4KB write buffer.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h1 id="9_security_model_compatibility">9. Security Model Compatibility</h1>
+
+
+<p>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 [<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/permissions.html">Resources, 102</a>] 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
+subsections.</p>
+
+<h2 id="9_1_permissions">9.1. Permissions</h2>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST support the Android permissions model as defined in
+the Android developer documentation [<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/permissions.html">Resources, 102</a>]. 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.</p>
+
+<h2 id="9_2_uid_and_process_isolation">9.2. UID and Process Isolation</h2>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST support the Android application sandbox model, in
+which each application runs as a unique Unixstyle 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 [<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/permissions.html">Resources, 102</a>].</p>
+
+<h2 id="9_3_filesystem_permissions">9.3. Filesystem Permissions</h2>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST support the Android file access permissions model
+as defined in the Security and Permissions reference [<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/permissions.html">Resources, 102</a>].</p>
+
+<h2 id="9_4_alternate_execution_environments">9.4. Alternate Execution Environments</h2>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations MAY include runtime environments that execute
+applications using some other software or technology than the Dalvik Executable
+Format 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.</p>
+
+<p>Alternate runtimes MUST themselves be Android applications, and abide by the
+standard Android security model, as described elsewhere in <a href="#9_security_model_compatibility">section 9</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Alternate runtimes MUST NOT be granted access to resources protected by
+permissions not requested in the runtime&rsquo;s AndroidManifest.xml file via the
+&lt;uses-permission&gt; mechanism.</p>
+
+<p>Alternate runtimes MUST NOT permit applications to make use of features
+protected by Android permissions restricted to system applications.</p>
+
+<p>Alternate runtimes MUST abide by the Android sandbox model. Specifically,
+alternate runtimes:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>SHOULD install apps via the PackageManager into separate Android sandboxes (
+Linux user IDs, etc.).</li>
+  <li>MAY provide a single Android sandbox shared by all applications using the
+alternate runtime.</li>
+  <li>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.</li>
+  <li>MUST NOT launch with, grant, or be granted access to the sandboxes
+corresponding to other Android applications.</li>
+  <li>MUST NOT be launched with, be granted, or grant to other applications any
+privileges of the superuser (root), or of any other user ID.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>When installing applications, alternate runtimes MUST obtain user consent for
+the Android permissions used by the application. 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.</p>
+
+<h2 id="9_5_multi-user_support">9.5. Multi-User Support</h2>
+
+<div class="note">
+<p>This feature is optional for all device types.</p>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>Android includes support for multiple users and provides support for full user
+isolation [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/UserManager.html">Resources, 103]</a>. Device implementations MAY enable multiple users, but when enabled MUST meet
+the following requirements related to multi-user support [<a href="http://source.android.com/devices/storage/">Resources, 104</a>]:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Device implementations that do not declare the android.hardware.telephony
+feature flag MUST support restricted profiles, a feature that allows device
+owners to manage additional users and their capabilities on the device. With
+restricted profiles, device owners can quickly set up separate environments for
+additional users to work in, with the ability to manage finer-grained
+restrictions in the apps that are available in those environments.</li>
+  <li>Conversely device implementations that declare the android.hardware.telephony
+feature flag MUST NOT support restricted profiles but MUST align with the AOSP
+implementation of controls to enable /disable other users from accessing the
+voice calls and SMS.</li>
+  <li>Device implementations MUST, for each user, implement a security model
+consistent with the Android platform security model as defined in Security and
+Permissions reference document in the APIs [<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/permissions.html">Resources, 102</a>].</li>
+  <li>Device implementations MAY support creating users and managed profiles via the
+android.app.admin.DevicePolicyManager APIs, and if supported, MUST declare the
+platform feature flag android.software.managed_users.
+  <li>Device implementations that declare the feature flag
+android.software.managed_users MUST use the upstream AOSP icon badge to
+represent the managed applications and other badge UI elements like Recents &
+Notifications.</li>
+  <li>Each user instance on an Android device MUST have separate and isolated
+external storage directories. Device implementations MAY store multiple users'
+data on the same volume or filesystem. However, the device implementation MUST
+ensure that applications owned by and running on behalf a given user cannot
+list, read, or write to data owned by any other user. Note that removable
+media, such as SD card slots, can allow one user to access another&rsquo;s data by
+means of a host PC. For this reason, device implementations that use removable
+media for the external storage APIs MUST encrypt the contents of the SD card if
+multiuser is enabled using a key stored only on non-removable media accessible
+only to the system. As this will make the media unreadable by a host PC, device
+implementations will be required to switch to MTP or a similar system to
+provide host PCs with access to the current user&rsquo;s data. Accordingly, device
+implementations MAY but SHOULD NOT enable multi-user if they use removable
+media [<a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Environment.html">Resources, 105</a>] for primary external storage.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="9_6_premium_sms_warning">9.6. Premium SMS Warning</h2>
+
+
+<p>Android includes support for warning users of any outgoing premium SMS message
+[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_code">Resources, 106</a>] . Premium SMS messages are text messages sent to a service registered with a
+carrier that may incur a charge to the user. Device implementations that
+declare support for android.hardware.telephony MUST warn users before sending a
+SMS message to numbers identified by regular expressions defined in
+/data/misc/sms/codes.xml file in the device. The upstream Android Open Source
+Project provides an implementation that satisfies this requirement.</p>
+
+<h2 id="9_7_kernel_security_features">9.7. Kernel Security Features</h2>
+
+
+<p>The Android Sandbox includes features that can use the Security-Enhanced Linux
+(SELinux) mandatory access control (MAC) system and other security features in
+the Linux kernel. SELinux or any other security features, if implemented below
+the Android framework:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST maintain compatibility with existing applications.</li>
+  <li>MUST NOT have a visible user interface when a security violation is detected
+and successfully blocked, but MAY have a visible user interface when an
+unblocked security violation occurs resulting in a successful exploit.</li>
+  <li>SHOULD NOT be user or developer configurable.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If any API for configuration of policy is exposed to an application that can
+affect another application (such as a Device Administration API), the API MUST
+NOT allow configurations that break compatibility.</p>
+
+<p>Devices MUST implement SELinux or an equivalent mandatory access control system
+if using a kernel other than Linux and meet the following requirements, which
+are satisfied by the reference implementation in the upstream Android Open
+Source Project.</p>
+
+<p>Device implementations:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST support a SELinux policy that allows the SELinux mode to be set on a
+per-domain basis, and MUST configure all domains in enforcing mode. No
+permissive mode domains are allowed, including domains specific to a
+device/vendor.</li>
+  <li>SHOULD load policy from /sepolicy file on the device.</li>
+  <li>MUST NOT modify, omit, or replace the neverallow rules present within the
+sepolicy file provided in the upstream Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and
+the policy MUST compile with all neverallow present, for both AOSP SELinux
+domains as well as device/vendor specific domains.</li>
+  <li>MUST support dynamic updates of the SELinux policy file without requiring a
+system image update.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Device implementations SHOULD retain the default SELinux policy provided in the
+upstream Android Open Source Project, until they have first audited their
+additions to the SELinux policy. Device implementations MUST be compatible with
+the upstream Android Open Source Project.</p>
+
+<h2 id="9_8_privacy">9.8. Privacy</h2>
+
+<p>If the device implements functionality in the system that captures the contents
+displayed on the screen and/or records the audio stream played on the device,
+it MUST continuously notify the user whenever this functionality is enabled and
+actively capturing/recording.</p>
+
+<p>If a device implementation has a mechanism that routes network data traffic
+through a proxy server or VPN gateway by default (for example, preloading a VPN
+service with android.permission.CONTROL_VPN granted), the device implementation
+MUST ask for the user's consent before enabling that mechanism.</p>
+
+<h2 id="9_9_full-disk_encryption">9.9. Full-Disk Encryption</h2>
+
+<div class="note">
+<p>Optional for Android device implementations without a lock screen.</p>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>If the device implementation supports a lock screen with PIN (numeric) or
+PASSWORD (alphanumeric), the device MUST support full-disk encryption of the
+application private data (/data partition), as well
+as the SD card partition if it is a permanent, non-removable part of the device
+[<a href="http://source.android.com/devices/tech/security/encryption/index.html">Resources, 107</a>]. For devices supporting full-disk encryption, the full-disk encryption SHOULD
+be enabled all the time after the user has completed the out-of-box experience.
+While this requirement is stated as SHOULD for this version of the Android
+platform, it is <strong>very strongly RECOMMENDED</strong> as we expect this to change to MUST in the future versions of Android.
+Encryption MUST use AES with a key of 128-bits (or greater) and a mode designed
+for storage (for example, AES-XTS, AES-CBC-ESSIV). The encryption key MUST NOT
+be written to storage at any time without being encrypted. Other than when in
+active use, the encryption key SHOULD be AES encrypted with the lockscreen
+passcode stretched using a slow stretching algorithm (e.g. PBKDF2 or scrypt).
+If the user has not specified a lockscreen passcode or has disabled use of the
+passcode for encryption, the system SHOULD use a default passcode to wrap the
+encryption key. If the device provides a hardware-backed keystore, the password
+stretching algorithm MUST be cryptographically bound to that keystore. The
+encryption key MUST NOT be sent off the device (even when wrapped with the user
+passcode and/or hardware bound key). The upstream Android Open Source project
+provides a preferred implementation of this feature based on the linux kernel
+feature dm-crypt.</p>
+
+<h2 id="9_10_verified_boot">9.10. Verified Boot</h2>
+
+<p>
+Verified boot is a feature that guarantees the integrity of the device software.
+If a device implementation supports the feature, it MUST:
+<ul>
+<li>Declare the platform feature flag android.software.verified_boot</li>
+<li>Perform verification on every boot sequence</li>
+<li>Start verification from a hardware key that is the root of trust, and go
+all the way up to the system partition</li>
+<li>Implement each stage of verification to check the integrity and authenticity
+of all the bytes in the next stage before executing the code in the next stage</li>
+<li>Use verification algorithms as strong as current recommendations
+from NIST for hashing algorithms (SHA-256) and public key sizes (RSA-2048)</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p>Device implementations SHOULD support verified boot for device integrity.
+While this requirement is SHOULD for this version of the Android platform,
+it is <strong>strongly RECOMMENDED</strong> as we expect this to change to MUST
+in future versions of Android. The upstream Android Open Source Project provides
+a preferred implementation of this feature based on the linux kernel feature dm-verity.
+</p>
+
+<h1 id="10_software_compatibility_testing">10. Software Compatibility Testing</h1>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST pass all tests described in this section.</p>
+
+<p>However, note that no software test package is fully comprehensive. For this
+reason, device implementers are <strong>very strongly encouraged</strong> to make the minimum number of changes as possible to the reference and
+preferred implementation of Android available from the Android Open Source
+Project. This will minimize the risk of introducing bugs that create
+incompatibilities requiring rework and potential device updates.</p>
+
+<h2 id="10_1_compatibility_test_suite">10.1. Compatibility Test Suite</h2>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST pass the Android Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) [<a href="http://source.android.com/compatibility/index.html">Resources, 108</a>] 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.</p>
+
+<p>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 ANDROID_VERSION. Device implementations MUST pass the latest CTS version available
+at the time the device software is completed.</p>
+
+<h2 id="10_2_cts_verifier">10.2. CTS Verifier</h2>
+
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>The CTS Verifier has tests for many kinds of hardware, including some hardware
+that is optional. Device implementations MUST pass all tests for hardware that
+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.</p>
+
+<p>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 Verifier only by the set of included
+locales, branding, etc. MAY omit the CTS Verifier test.</p>
+
+<h1 id="11_updatable_software">11. Updatable Software</h1>
+
+
+<p>Device implementations MUST include a mechanism to replace the entirety of the
+system software. The mechanism need not perform &ldquo;live&rdquo; upgrades&mdash;that is, a
+device restart MAY be required.</p>
+
+<p>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:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>&ldquo;Over-the-air (OTA)&rdquo; downloads with offline update via reboot</li>
+  <li>&ldquo;Tethered&rdquo; updates over USB from a host PC</li>
+  <li>&ldquo;Offline&rdquo; updates via a reboot and update from a file on removable storage</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>However, if the device implementation includes support for an unmetered data
+connection such as 802.11 or Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network) profile:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Android Automotive implementations SHOULD support OTA downloads with offline
+update via reboot.</li>
+<li>All other device implementations MUST support OTA downloads with offline
+update via reboot.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>For device implementations that are launching with Android ANDROID_VERSION and later, the
+update mechanism SHOULD support verifying that the system image is binary
+identical to expected result following an OTA. The block-based OTA
+implementation in the upstream Android Open Source Project, added since Android
+5.1, satisfies this requirement.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>

+    <h2>In this document</h2>
+    <ol id="auto-toc">
+    </ol>
+  </div>
+</div>
+
+<h2 id=abstract>Abstract</h2>
+
+<p>This document describes impending changes to the manner in which the Android
+file system is configured.</p>
+
+<p>The Android file system configuration file (<code>system/core/include/private/android_filesystem_config.h</code>) is not extensible in that device manufacturers have no means to add their own
+named binaries to the list to specify Discretionary Access Controls (DAC) of
+ownership, access mode, or executable capabilities. This limitation is shown
+with the introduction of support for Linux kernels 3.14 and higher where the
+wake lock is enabled via a capability <code>CAP_SUSPEND_BLOCK</code>; partner-supplied GPS daemons will need to hold this wake lock and thus have
+this capability set in the file system.</p>
+
+<p>Therefore, the Android M release is planned to move both the <code>fs_config</code> inline and the structure definitions in <code>system/core/include/private/android_filesystem_config.h</code> that it feeds on into <code>system/core/libcutils/fs_config.c</code> to be updated or overridden by binary files installed in <code>/system/etc/fs_config_dirs </code>and<code> /system/etc/fs_config_files</code>.</p>
+
+<h2 id=implementation>Implementation</h2>
+
+<p>Separate matching and parsing rules exist for directories and files. Files get
+the advantage of utilizing additional glob expressions. Files and Directories
+are handled separately by two different tables.</p>
+
+<p>The Android M release will remove the <code>fs_config</code> inline and the structure definitions that it feeds on, and place the code and
+default definitions into <code>system/core/libcutils/fs_config.c</code>. The <code>fs_config.c</code> file is modified beyond the basic definition to allow runtime reading of <code>/system/etc/fs_config_dirs</code> and <code>/system/etc/fs_config_files</code> to garner override that the device manufacturer would wish to extend. The same
+files accessed during build time to construct filesystem images as <code>${OUT}/system/etc/fs_config_dirs</code> and <code>${OUT}/system/etc/fs_config_files</code> may be used on the host.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Caution</strong>: This change is disruptive, as it removes some includes, structures and inline
+definitions; it also adds a need to refer to <code>libcutils</code> instead of running directly from <code>system/core/include/private/android_filesystem_config.h</code>. It also requires all device manufacturers to be informed that the location
+for adjustments for file system configuration has changed.</p>
+
+<p>There is also a tool to generate the aligned binary files <code>/system/etc/fs_config_dirs</code> and <code>/system/etc/fs_config_files</code> content that is delivered on the target.</p>
+
+<p>A new function in <code>libcutils</code> - <code>fs_config_generate()</code> - is used to manage the DAC requirements into a buffer. <code>build/tools/fs_config</code> in turn houses the new tool <code>fs_config_generate</code> that uses this library function and defines rules for an include file to
+institutionalize the DAC rules. It expects an include file in <code>device/<vendor>/<device>/android_filesystem_config.h</code> to act as the override in <code>structure fs_path_config</code> format as defined in <code>system/core/include/private/android_filesystem_config.h</code>, except defining the structure initialization for the symbols struct
+fs_path_config android<strong>_device</strong>_dirs[] and struct fs_path_config android<strong>_device</strong>_files[] for directories and files, respectively. See the example below.</p>
+
+<p>The override file may also be specified using <code>TARGET_ANDROID_FILESYSTEM_CONFIG_H </code>in the board configuration, with an enforced basename of <code>android_filesystem_config.h</code>. Finally, <code>PRODUCT_PACKAGES</code> must include <code>fs_config_dirs</code> and/or <code>fs_config_files</code> in order to install them to <code>/system/etc/fs_config_dirs</code> and <code>/system/etc/fs_config_files</code>, respectively.</p>
+
+<h3 id=instructions>Instructions</h3>
+
+<p>Follow these steps to configure the Android file system in the M release and
+later.</p>
+
+<ol>
+  <li> Create the <code>$(TARGET_DEVICE_DIR)/android_filesystem_config.h</code> file
+  <li> Add the <code>fs_config_dirs</code> and/or <code>fs_config_files</code> to <code>PRODUCT_PACKAGES </code>in the board configuration file (eg: <code>$(TARGET_DEVICE_DIR)/device.mk</code>)
+</ol>
+
+<h3 id=example>Example</h3>
+
+<p>In order to activate an override for the<code> system/bin/glgps</code> daemon to add wake lock support, one would do something like this within the <code>device/<vendor>/<device></code> directory (in patch format, relevant actions are highlighted for clarity):</p>

+<h3 id=checklist>Checklist</h3>
+
+<ol>
+  <li> <code>NO_ANDROID_FILESYSTEM_CONFIG_DEVICE_DIRS</code> and <code>NO_ANDROID_FILESYSTEM_CONFIG_DEVICE_FILES</code> are available to be defined when android_device_dirs[] and
+android_device_files[] is not being filled out.
+
+  <li> Each structure entry is the mode, uid, gid, capabilities and the name. <code>system/core/include/private/android_filesystem_config.h</code> has been included already automatically to provide the manifest defines (<code>AID_ROOT</code>, <code>AID_SHELL</code>, <code>CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND</code> in the above).
+
+  <li> The action above in the example android_device_files[] to suppress access to <code>system/etc/fs_config_dirs</code> when we have not specified it will act as an additional DAC protection for our
+lack of any content for the directory overrides. It is considered pedantic weak
+protection since if someone has control over<code> /system</code>, they can typically do anything they want.
+
+  <li> The build system searches for the custom <code>android_filesystem_config.h</code> in <code>$(TARGET_DEVICE_DIR)</code>, in which the BoardConfig.mk exists. You can also set board config variable <code>TARGET_ANDROID_FILESYSTEM_CONFIG_H</code> to point to the file, if it exists elsewhere.
+
+  <li> On the target system, we reserve the right to apply SELinux Mandatory Access
+Controls (MAC) to these configuration files. Please check if you have custom
+target executables that utilize fs_config() to make sure you permit access if
+not provided otherwise.
+</ol>
+
+<h3 id=architectural_concerns>Architectural Concerns</h3>
+
+<ul>
+  <li> Device manufacturer private branch copies of the <code>system/core/include/private/android_filesystem_config.h</code> with extra content on existing targets will have to move over to: <code>device/<vendor>/<device>/android_filesystem_config.h</code>
+  <li> Device manufacturer private executables that depend on <code>system/code/include/private_filesystem_config.h</code> for the file or directory structures or <code>fs_config</code> will have to add <code>libcutils</code> library dependencies.
