This page lists some resources for OEMs and carriers who create solutions for
enterprise customers.
Device compatibility
To natively support Android enterprise, devices need to support work profiles
that keep corporate employer data separate from personal user information. To
learn about the many features in Android 5.0 (and higher) that need to be
enabled and validated on devices to make them ready for device-owner user cases
and profile-owner user cases, see
Implementing Device Administration.
The Android DevicePolicyManager APIs
let you programmatically include app restrictions on a device, silently
install certificates, set up cross-profile sharing intent access control, and
more. For details, see
Employing Managed Profiles.
To learn more about source code and
device compatibility, visit the
Android Open Source Project.
To learn how apps handle and understand multiple distinct users, see
Building Multiuser-Aware Apps.
For more about work profiles, see
Building Apps for Android Enterprise.
Device deployment
To learn how to deploy devices to corporate users, see
Provisioning for Device Administration.
Testing
To learn about tools for testing work profiles and device owner support, see
Setting Up Device Testing.
To test work-profile creation without a third-party EMM, use
Test DPC, our sample device
policy controller. (Test DPC is also available in Google Play.)
