Building native DPS apps for Android devices
To the top
You can create DPS apps for Android devices using two different viewer types: native Android viewers and legacy (AIR-based) Android viewers.
Native Android viewers
The new native version of the Android app supports phones and tablets running Android 4.0.3 or later. To create a native Android app, use the
Web-based DPS App Builder as described in this article.
Legacy Android viewers
The AIR-based Android viewer includes a number of performance and device limitations. If you still need to create an AIR-based Android
viewer, use the desktop DPS App Builder. See Creating DPS apps for Amazon and Android devices.
Support for both viewer types
For a time, Adobe will continue to support both of these Android viewer types. However, the legacy Android viewer will remain on the v29 viewer
code base until it is no longer supported.
Note that two different versions of the Adobe Content Viewer are available in Google Play Store. The native app is called "Adobe Content
Viewer for Android" and the legacy app is called "Adobe Content Viewer for Android (legacy)."
Supported features in the native Android viewer
The native Android viewer supports a number of DPS features. Updates to the native Android viewer format will occur frequently. To track the
new features for each release, see DPS Bug Fix Release Notes. For a feature comparison chart, see DPS supported features list.
