2. How can I become compatible?

2.1. Comply with Android Compatibility Definition Document (CDD)

To start, read the Android Compatibility overview, which describes the goals and

components of the program:

Then review the Android Compatibility Definition Document (CDD) for the

requirements of and policies associated with compatible devices:

The CDD's role is to codify and clarify specific requirements, and eliminate ambiguity.

The CDD does not attempt to be comprehensive. Since Android is a single corpus of

open-source code, the code itself is the comprehensive "specification" of the

platform and its APIs.

2.2. Pass the Compatibility Test Suite (CTS)

The Android Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) is a downloadable open-source testing

harness you can use as you develop your handset; for example, you could use the CTS

to do continuous self-testing during your development work.

For more about the CTS and the compatibility report that it generates, see the

Compatibility Test Suite introduction:
