| Thank you for your interest in Android! You can help improve Android by |
| reporting issues and feature requests in the |
| <a href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=190923">Android Issue |
| Tracker</a>. The Android Issue Tracker contains a list of pending technical |
| tasks across a variety of topics, information relevant to those tasks, and |
| information about progress on those tasks, including which ones might get worked |
| on in the short term. |
| </p> |
| <p class="note">For more information about why we switched to Issue Tracker, see <a |
| href="http://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/04/a-new-issue-tracker-for-our-aosp.html">this |
| blog post</a>.</p> |
| <p> |
| Issue Tracker is not a customer support forum. For support information, see the |
| <a href="https://support.google.com/nexus">Nexus</a> and |
| <a href="https://support.google.com/pixelphone">Pixel</a> help centers. Support for |
| other devices is provided by the device manufacturers or by the carriers selling |
| those devices. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Support for Google applications is through |
| <a href="http://support.google.com/">Google's support site</a>. Support for |
| third-party applications is provided by the application's developer, e.g. |
| through the contact information provided on Google Play. For a list of more |
| Android support resources, see our <a href="/source/community">Community page</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| There are no guarantees that any particular bug can be fixed in any particular |
| release. To see what happens to your bug once you report it, read |
| <a href="/source/life-of-a-bug.html">Life of a Bug</a>. |
| </p> |
| <h2 id="filing-a-bug">Filing a bug</h2> |
| <ol> |
| <li><a href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:190923%2B">Search |
| for your bug</a> to see if anyone has already reported it. Don't forget to |
| search for all issues, not just open ones, as your issue might already have been |
| reported and closed. To help you find the most popular results, sort the result |
| by number of stars.</li> |
| <li>If you find your issue and it's important to you, |
| <a href="https://developers.google.com/issue-tracker/guides/subscribe#starring_an_issue">star |
| it</a>! The number of |
| stars on a bug helps us know which bugs are most important to fix.</li> |
| <li>If no one has reported your bug, file the bug. First, |
| <a href="https://issuetracker.google.com/components">browse for the correct |
| component</a>, such as <a href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:192705">Framework</a> |
| or <a href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:192634">Networking</a>, |
| and fill out the provided template. Or select the desired bug queue from the |
| tables below. |
| <p class="key-point"> |
| <strong>Tip</strong>: Some components contain sub-components, like <strong>Network > |
| Messaging</strong> and <strong>Framework > Storage</strong>. |
| </p> |
| </li> |
| <li>Include as much information in bugs as you can, following the instructions |
| for the bug queue you're targeting. A bug that simply says something isn't |
| working doesn't help much, and will probably be closed without any action. The |
| amount of detail you provide, such as log files, repro steps, and even a patch |
| set, helps us address your issue.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <h2 id="bug-queues">Bug queues</h2> |
| <p> |
| The Android Issue Tracker has a variety of sub-components in a number of |
| categories related to Android. There are subcomponents for security, the |
| platform, Android Developer Tools, documentation, and more. |
| </p> |
| |
| <h3 id="security">Security</h3> |
| <p> |
| If you find an issue that impacts the security of Android or components in Nexus |
| or Pixel devices, follow the instructions |
| <a href="/security/overview/updates-resources#report-issues">here</a>. |
| Additionally, security bugs are eligible for the |
| <a href="https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/android-rewards/">Android |
| Security Vulnerability Rewards Program</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Because of the sensitive nature of security bugs, you won't be able to browse |
| open issues, only closed issues or issues that have been made public. |
