Compatibility Definition

connectivity over Bluetooth LE, SHOULD support MIDI over Bluetooth LE.
5.10. Professional Audio
If a device implementation meets all of the following requirements, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
to report support for feature android.hardware.audio.pro via the android.content.pm.PackageManager
class [Resources, 70].
The device implementation MUST report support for feature
android.hardware.audio.low_latency.
The continuous round-trip audio latency, as defined in section 5.6 Audio Latency, MUST be
20 milliseconds or less and SHOULD be 10 milliseconds or less over at least one
supported path.
If the device includes a 4 conductor 3.5mm audio jack, the continuous round-trip audio
latency MUST be 20 milliseconds or less over the audio jack path, and SHOULD be 10
milliseconds or less over at the audio jack path.
The device implementation MUST include a USB port(s) supporting USB host mode and
USB peripheral mode.
The USB host mode MUST implement the USB audio class.
If the device includes an HDMI port, the device implementation MUST support output in
stereo and eight channels at 20-bit or 24-bit depth and 192 kHz without bit-depth loss or
resampling.
The device implementation MUST report support for feature android.software.midi.
If the device includes a 4 conductor 3.5mm audio jack, the device implementation is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to comply with section Mobile device (jack) specifications
of the Wired Audio Headset Specification (v1.1).
6. Developer Tools and Options Compatibility
6.1. Developer Tools
Device implementations MUST support the Android Developer Tools provided in the Android SDK.
Android compatible devices MUST be compatible with:
Android Debug Bridge (adb) [Resources, 72]
Device implementations MUST support all adb functions as documented in the Android SDK including
dumpsys [Resources, 73]. 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).
Android includes support for secure adb. Secure adb enables adb on known authenticated hosts.
Device implementations MUST support secure adb.
Dalvik Debug Monitor Service (ddms) [Resources, 74]
Device implementations MUST support all ddms features as documented in the Android SDK. As
ddms uses adb, support for ddms SHOULD be inactive by default, but MUST be supported whenever
the user has activated the Android Debug Bridge, as above.
Monkey [Resources, 75]
Device implementations MUST include the Monkey framework, and make it available for applications
