It has 28 been expanding in adoption in that region and is well used among transit, 29 retail, and loyalty services. Adding support for FeliCa in Android devices 30 destined for that region improves their usefulness.</p> 31 32 <h2 id="implementation">Implementation</h2> 33 34 <p>HCE FeliCa requires NFC hardware that supports the NFC-F (JIS 6319-4) standard.</p> 35 36 <p>Host Card Emulation (HCE) of FeliCa is essentially a parallel implementation to 37 the existing HCE implementation on Android; it creates new classes for FeliCa 38 where it makes sense and merges with the existing HCE implementation where 39 possible.</p> 40 41 <p>The following Android components are included in the Android Open Source Project 42 (AOSP):</p> 43 44 <ul> 45 <li>Framework classes 46 <ul> 47 <li>Public HostNfcFService (convenience service class) 48 <li>@hide NfcFServiceInfo 49 </ul> 50 <li>Modifications to core NFC framework</li></ul> 51 </li> 52 </ul> 53 54 <p>As with most Android platform features, manufacturers write the drivers to 55 make the hardware work with the API.</p> 56 57 <h2 id="validation">Validation</h2> 58 59 <p>Use the <a href="/compatibility/cts/index.html">Android Compatibility 60 Test Suite</a> to ensure this feature works as intended.
