overlay support (Bug 1810658 and Bug 1810659) is going to use ASurfaceControl. It needs API level 29+. If we want to test it on Android Emulator, it needs to be updated to API level 29+.

AHardwareBuffer needs API level 26+.

Is this something that you're going to be working on?

For the time being, there are no plans to work on. I am busy for another bugs.

Test result of emulator of Adnroid API level 29

I guess that many failures depends on heap/RAM size. And I guess some reftest failures depends on font, so we add/use "android_version" condition.

Actually, emulator version of mac M1 build environment is Android 30. It might be better that 29 for macOS developers.

A note: isolated process doesn't support Android 10+ yet; also, we would want to be testing isolated process builds on both Android <=9 and Android >=10, at least until the minimum supported Android version is 10

I haven't tested this lately, but bug 1797617 shows some tests that will need to be corrected depending on the API bump.

We are using Android 14 emulator.
