| <p>Felicity Card, or FeliCa, an RFID smart card system, is the NFC standard in |
| Japan, Hong Kong and other markets in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. It has |
| been expanding in adoption in that region and is well used among transit, |
| retail, and loyalty services. Adding support for FeliCa in Android devices |
| destined for that region improves their usefulness.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="implementation">Implementation</h2> |
| |
| <p>HCE FeliCa requires NFC hardware that supports the NFC-F (JIS 6319-4) standard.</p> |
| |
| <p>Host Card Emulation (HCE) of FeliCa is essentially a parallel implementation to |
| the existing HCE implementation on Android; it creates new classes for FeliCa |
| where it makes sense and merges with the existing HCE implementation where |
| possible.</p> |
| |
| <p>The following Android components are included in the Android Open Source Project |
| (AOSP):</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Framework classes |
| <ul> |
| <li>Public HostNfcFService (convenience service class) |
| <li>@hide NfcFServiceInfo |
| </ul> |
| <li>Modifications to core NFC framework</li></ul> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>As with most Android platform features, manufacturers write the drivers to |
| make the hardware work with the API.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="validation">Validation</h2> |
| |
| <p>Use the <a href="/compatibility/cts/index.html">Android Compatibility |
| Test Suite</a> to ensure this feature works as intended. CTS Verifier |
| (NfcTestActivity) tests this implementation for devices reporting the |
| <code>android.hardware.nfc.hcef</code> feature constant.</p> |
