interface Features


A class that encapsulates all features that are only supported in certain cases (e.g. only on certain implementations or only at a certain Android API Level).

Features do not depend on any runtime state, and features will never be removed. Once isFeatureSupported returns true for a certain feature, it is safe to assume that the feature will be available forever on that AppSearch storage implementation, at that Android API level, on that device.
