# FeatureInfo

*** ** * ** ***

` public class FeatureInfo `   
` extends https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object ` ` implements https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable `

|---|---|
| [java.lang.Object](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object) ||
| ↳ | android.content.pm.FeatureInfo |

<br />

*** ** * ** ***

Definition of a single optional hardware or software feature of an Android device.

This object is used to represent both features supported by a device and features requested by an app. Apps can request that certain features be available as a prerequisite to being installed through the `uses-feature` tag in their manifests.

Starting in `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#N`, features can have a version, which must always be backwards compatible. That is, a device claiming to support version 3 of a specific feature must support apps requesting version 1 of that feature.
