Or you can target API level 4 and either support both CDMA/GSM or have the appropriate <uses-feature> element to stipulate that you only support GSM. This eliminates the problem entirely, with the side effect of dropping support for those devices presently on Android 1.5. > Also, I want to know where the conformance documentation on Android > devices gets stored, and if they're public?

Anyone? I'm not sure it's a "sign off on" so much as Google tests the devices and withholds Android Market support if, in Google's estimation, the device will inadequately support third-party applications. Certainly, we have at least one documented report of that structure (the QVGA 1.5 device from last summer), and I have not seen a "sign off on" approach described by the core Android team. If you have evidence of such a "sign off" model in use, please point me to it -- thanks! -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
