# Android 15 Migration guide

## 1 - Check major changes

Android offers a clear and exhaustive [documentation](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/15) listing the new features and changes related to Android 15.

It is necessary to read this documentation **before** modifying any code in your project.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You must consider the two main categories of behaviours changes related to Android 15:

* [Behavior changes: all apps](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/15/behavior-changes-all)
* [Behavior changes: Apps targeting Android 15 or higher](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/15/behavior-changes-15)
  {% endhint %}

## 2 - Targeting Android 15 in your project

To make your app fully compatible with Android 15, update the `targetSdkVersion` and `compileSdkVersion` to `35` in your project app.

## 3 - Apply changes

It's now time to update your code once the previous steps are taken into account.

DriveQuant recommends to specifically pay attention about the [Edge-to-edge enforcement](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/15/behavior-changes-15#edge-to-edge) which is now enabled by default when your app is targeting Android 15.

{% hint style="info" %}
If your app is not ready to support edge-to-edge, you can disable it by using the [`windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr#windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement)attribute.
{% endhint %}

## 4 - Update the DriveKit SDK

After you have checked that your project is working properly and updated the `targetSdkVersion` and `compileSdkVersion`, you need to update the DriveKit SDK.

* DriveKit internal modules that support Android 15 are versions `2.4.0` and above.
* DriveKit UI modules that support Android 15 are versions `2.4.0` and above. 

{% hint style="info" %}
The latest DriveKit versions are listed in the changelog:

* [For internal modules](/release-notes/changelog/android.md) 
* [For UI modules](/release-notes/changelog/ui-android.md)
  {% endhint %}

## 5 - Tests 🚗

The last part is to ensure that the app is working as expected. The best way to do this is to compare your app's behaviour with the [DriveQuant's app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drivequant) and/or the [DriveKit Demo App](https://github.com/DriveQuantPublic/drivekit-ui-android); which already support Android 15.
