## 7.3\. Sensors

If device implementations include a particular sensor type that has a
corresponding API for third-party developers, the device implementation
MUST implement that API as described in the Android SDK documentation and
the Android Open Source documentation on [sensors](
http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/).

Device implementations:

*   [C-0-1] MUST accurately report the presence or absence of sensors per the
[`android.content.pm.PackageManager`](
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html)
class.
*   [C-0-2] MUST return an accurate list of supported sensors via the
`SensorManager.getSensorList()` and similar methods.
*   [C-0-3] MUST behave reasonably for all other sensor APIs (for example, by
returning `true` or `false` as appropriate when applications attempt to register
listeners, not calling sensor listeners when the corresponding sensors are not
present; etc.).

If device implementations include a particular sensor type that has a
corresponding API for third-party developers, they:

*   [C-1-1] MUST [report all sensor measurements](
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/SensorEvent.html)
using the relevant International System of Units (metric) values for each
sensor type as defined in the Android SDK documentation.
*   [C-1-2] MUST report sensor data with a maximum latency of 100 milliseconds
+ 2 * sample_time for the case of a sensor streamed with a minimum required
latency of 5 ms + 2 * sample_time when the application processor is active.
This delay does not include any filtering delays.
*   [C-1-3] MUST report the first sensor sample within 400 milliseconds + 2 *
sample_time of the sensor being activated. It is acceptable for this sample to
have an accuracy of 0.
*   [SR] SHOULD [report the event time](
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/SensorEvent.html#timestamp)
in nanoseconds as defined in the Android SDK documentation, representing the
time the event happened and synchronized with the
SystemClock.elapsedRealtimeNano() clock. Existing and new Android devices are
**STRONGLY RECOMMENDED** to meet these requirements so they will be able to
upgrade to the future platform releases where this might become a REQUIRED
component. The synchronization error SHOULD be below 100 milliseconds.

*   [C-1-4] For any API indicated by the Android SDK documentation to be a
     [continuous sensor](
     https://source.android.com/devices/sensors/report-modes.html#continuous),
     device implementations MUST continuously provide
     periodic data samples that SHOULD have a jitter below 3%,
     where jitter is defined as the standard deviation of the difference of the
     reported timestamp values between consecutive events.

*   [C-1-5] MUST ensure that the sensor event stream
     MUST NOT prevent the device CPU from entering a suspend state or waking up
     from a suspend state.
*   When several sensors are activated, the power consumption SHOULD NOT exceed
     the sum of the individual sensor’s reported power consumption.

The list above is not comprehensive; the documented behavior of the Android SDK
and the Android Open Source Documentations on
[sensors](http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/) is to be considered
authoritative.


Some sensor types are composite, meaning they can be derived from data provided
by one or more other sensors. (Examples include the orientation sensor and the
linear acceleration sensor.)

Device implementations:

*   SHOULD implement these sensor types, when they
include the prerequisite physical sensors as described
in [sensor types](https://source.android.com/devices/sensors/sensor-types.html).

If device implementations include a composite sensor, they:

*    [C-2-1] MUST implement the sensor as described in the Android Open Source

requested via `LocationManager#requestLocationUpdate`.
*   [C-1-2] MUST be able to determine the location in open-sky conditions
    (strong signals, negligible multipath, HDOP < 2) within 10 seconds (fast
    time to first fix), when connected to a 0.5 Mbps or faster data speed
    internet connection. This requirement is typically met by the use of some
    form of Assisted or Predicted GPS/GNSS technique
    to minimize GPS/GNSS lock-on time (Assistance data includes Reference Time,
    Reference Location and Satellite Ephemeris/Clock).
       * [SR] After making such a location calculation, it is
         STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for the device to
         be able to determine its location, in open sky, within 10 seconds,
         when location requests are restarted, up to an hour after the initial
         location calculation, even when the subsequent request is made without

newer, they:

*    [C-3-1] MUST continue to deliver normal GPS/GNSS location outputs during an
emergency phone call.

of trust by having the user confirm existing or add a new device credential
(PIN/pattern/password) that's secured by TEE; the Android Open Source Project
    implementation provides the mechanism in the framework to do so.
*   [C-1-9] MUST NOT enable 3rd-party applications to distinguish between
individual fingerprints.
*   [C-1-10] MUST honor the DevicePolicyManager.KEYGUARD_DISABLE_FINGERPRINT
flag.
*   [C-1-11] MUST, when upgraded from a version earlier than Android 6.0, have
the fingerprint data securely migrated to meet the above requirements or
removed.
*   [SR] Are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to have a false rejection rate of less than 10%,
as measured on the device.
*   [SR] Are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to have a latency below 1 second, measured from
when the fingerprint sensor is touched until the screen is unlocked, for one
enrolled finger.
*   SHOULD use the Android Fingerprint icon provided in the Android Open Source
Project.

### 7.3.11\. Android Automotive-only sensors

Automotive-specific sensors are defined in the
`android.car.CarSensorManager API`.

#### 7.3.11.1\. Current Gear

See [Section 2.5.1](#2_5_1_hardware) for device-specific requirements.

#### 7.3.11.2\. Day Night Mode

See [Section 2.5.1](#2_5_1_hardware) for device-specific requirements.

#### 7.3.11.3\. Driving Status

See [Section 2.5.1](#2_5_1_hardware) for device-specific requirements.

#### 7.3.11.4\. Wheel Speed

See [Section 2.5.1](#2_5_1_hardware) for device-specific requirements.


## 7.3.12\. Pose Sensor

Device implementations:

*   MAY support pose sensor with 6 degrees of freedom.

If device implementations support pose sensor with 6 degrees of freedom, they:

*   [C-1-1] MUST implement and report [`TYPE_POSE_6DOF`](
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Sensor.html#TYPE_POSE_6DOF)
sensor.
*   [C-1-2] MUST be more accurate than the rotation vector alone.
