Does Android trust StartSSL certificates?

Question

I am developing an Android app and I would like to encrypt the data sent to my server. I've seen many people saying that the best practices are using SSL and I found that StartSSL is free. My questions are:

1. Would Android trust my StartSSL certificate?

2. Do you recommend me StartSSL or should I use another Certificate Authority like RapidSSL or GoDaddy?

Thanks!

Answer 1

1. If the certificate is valid and complete (with intermediate certificate), yes it will work.

2. That is subjective.
