The following summary is a list of (frequent) questions that we received through Google Groups, Email and/or direct contacts over the time.

QI've filed a comment but I do not get an answer?
APlease use the mailing list for questions and support and Wiki page comments to improve the documentation only.

QWhat version of Android is supported by SEEK?
AThe latest version of Android is supported.
...due to limited resources of the team and the variety of Android versions we only concentrate on the latest Android version as good as possible.

QWhen applying the patches I get a message with 'HUNK failed' - what is wrong?
ANothing as long as the modifications have not been rejected.
...we built and tested the patch files with e.g. android-2.3.1_r1 and in the meantime you work with android-2.3.3_r1 where files might differ already.

QDo you plan to submit the SmartCard API into the Android platform and when?
AYes - that's the overall goal of this project.
...we submitted the patches mid of 2011 - now it's not under our control when/whether they get accepted or not.

QDoes SmartCard API support the UICC?
AIn the Android emulator: yes
On a real device: see Supported Devices

QWhy did you not contribute this or work on that topic?
APlease file a new feature request under Issues.
...we only have limited resources so we cannot prioritize everything at the same time.

QWhat is the issue with a PC/SC interface for this project?
APlease read PC/SC Lite.
...we do not see PC/SC as a suitable interface for mobile phones, however we need a PC/SC link for native applications.

QWhy is the SmartCard API not exporting Reset, PowerOn or PowerOff methods?
AIn short: because the Secure Elements are under control of the phone, not the user in opposite to a PC.
...think about a Reset for the UICC where the phone goes offline before the user enters the PIN again or a PowerOff on the MSC while the Email client tries to sign the mail.

QI have an interesting project with Android and Secure Elements, can you help me?
APlease make your idea public! If interesting we might be able to support you with hardware, at least support.
