Heidi von Markhame30b1742016-07-26 16:13:26 -070028<p>Android is an open source software stack for a wide range of mobile devices
29and a corresponding open source project led by Google. This site offers the
Clay Murphyfa783d82015-05-01 14:26:20 -070030information and source code you need to create custom variants of the Android
31stack, port devices and accessories to the Android platform, and ensure your
Heidi von Markhame30b1742016-07-26 16:13:26 -070032devices meet compatibility requirements.</p>
