Running Android CTS in Emulator

Hi Experts,

Is it possible to run the android compatibility Test Suite for the emulator mode like Nexus devices ?

Though the way to run the test is clear from the android sites how this verifies the portability of application and native binaries is not much clear.

How to use this tool on verification of the specific native libraries developed for Android ?

Regards,

  • Can you run the CTS on an emulator? Probably, but it would not pass. There are too many hardware, timing and security requirements. Why do you want to run the CTS against an emulator?

    The main goal of the CTS is to provide a consistent application and hardware environment to application developers and consistent experience for consumers. It is not meant to verify "portability of application and native binaries" as you're suggesting. You would not use this to verify native libraries. You would use it to verify the Android device you're developing meets the minimum requirements from Google to run Google Mobile Services and the Play store among other goals.
