Android Embedded SDK
With Embedded Android SDKs, developers don’t need to work directly with the kernel or system-level layers to access I/O and embedded protocols, enabling access via high-level languages and AI-assisted programming. Instead, they can use add-on APIs that integrate into their preferred IDEs and extend the standard Android API.
Why Embedded SDK Matters
Android provides powerful tools for building applications, with rich user interfaces and strong security. Those same capabilities make it a great choice for embedded systems. However, embedded environments introduce different challenges. Android apps work seamlessly with supported hardware, but interacting with sensors, motors, or hardware not natively supported by the HAL often requires low-level programming—which adds system complexity and slows development and portability. Embedded Android SDKs solve this with high-level APIs, allowing developers to control hardware without platform changes or OS-level programming.
CAN SDK and beyond.
With embedded Android SDKs, Android becomes a powerful platform for embedded and industrial systems. And CAN integration takes minutes— not weeks. The standard Android SDK does not support CAN bus by default. The CAN SDK fills this gap by enabling Android applications to communicate directly with CAN-based devices and systems. Multiple embedded Android SDKs are available, each targeting a specific hardware interface or communication protocol. This simplifies development and helps teams move from prototype to production faster. As a result, developers can focus on application logic while low-level system interaction is handled in the background
Enhance your Android Studio Build with Our Embedded SDK
The standard Android SDK has limitations in hardware interaction abstraction for devices like WiFi, Bluetooth, IMU, and GNS, lacking support for critical I/O controls, bus management, and relevant protocols in embedded systems.
To overcome these limitations, Kynetics has created a suite of SDK for Embedded Development, offering additional tools while maintaining the benefits of Java/Kotlin/Maui for Android embedded systems.
The SDK Extensions are delivered as libraries that seamlessly integrate into your Android Studio project, allowing developers to handle embedded development as easily as with the standard Android SDK.
Utilizing Android as an operating system for embedded devices, beyond smartphones, is a game-changer, however it comes with a strong statement: any application developer can be an embedded developer. Extend the standard Android SDK with Kynetics Embedded extensions.
