|
||
section.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>For developers, the Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} platform is available as a

<h2 id="api-level">API Level</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>The Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} platform delivers an updated version of
|
||
the framework API. The Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} API
|
||
is assigned an integer identifier —
|
||
<strong>{@sdkPlatformApiLevel}</strong> — that is
|
||
stored in the system itself. This identifier, called the "API Level", allows the
|
||
system to correctly determine whether an application is compatible with
|
||
the system, prior to installing the application. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>To use APIs introduced in Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} in your
|
||
application, you need to set the proper value, "{@sdkPlatformApiLevel}", in the
|
||
<code>android:minSdkVersion</code> attributes of the <code><uses-sdk></code>
|
||
element in your application's manifest. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>For more information about how to use API Level, see the <a
|
||
href="{@docRoot}guide/appendix/api-levels.html">API Levels</a> document. </p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="api">Framework API Changes</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>The sections below provide information about changes made to the application
|
||
framework API provided by the Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} platform.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Live Wallpapers</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>The following additions provide APIs for you to develop animated wallpapers:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>New {@link android.service.wallpaper} package.</li>
|
||
<li>New {@link android.app.WallpaperInfo} class.</li>
|
||
<li>Updated {@link android.app.WallpaperManager}.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>Additionally, if your application uses or provides Live Wallpapers, you must
|
||
remember to add a <a
|
||
href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html"><code><uses-feature></code></a>
|
||
element to the application's manifest, declaring the attribute
|
||
<code>android:name="android.software.live_wallpaper"</code>. For example:</p>
|
||
|
||
<pre class="no-pretty-print">
|
||
<uses-feature android:name="android.software.live_wallpaper" />
|
||
</pre>
|
||
|
||
<p>When you've published your application, Android Market checks for the
|
||
presence of this element and uses it as a filter, ensuring that your application
|
||
is not made available to users whose devices do not support Live Wallpapers.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Telephony</h3>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>New {@link android.telephony.SignalStrength} class provides information
|
||
about the device's current network signal. This can be acquired from the
|
||
new {@link
|
||
android.telephony.PhoneStateListener#onSignalStrengthsChanged(SignalStrength)}
|
||
callback.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>New {@link
|
||
android.telephony.PhoneStateListener#onDataConnectionStateChanged(int,int)}
|
||
callback.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Views</h3>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>New {@link android.view.View} methods {@link android.view.View#isOpaque()}
|
||
and {@link android.view.View#onDrawScrollBars(Canvas)}.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>New {@link android.widget.RemoteViews} methods {@link
|
||
android.widget.RemoteViews#addView(int,RemoteViews)} and {@link
|
||
android.widget.RemoteViews#removeAllViews(int)}.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>New {@link android.view.ViewGroup} methods {@link
|
||
android.view.ViewGroup#isChildrenDrawingOrderEnabled()} and {@link
|
||
android.view.ViewGroup#setChildrenDrawingOrderEnabled(boolean)}.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h3>WebKit</h3>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>New {@link android.webkit.WebStorage} methods to manipulate web
|
||
storage databases.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>New {@link android.webkit.GeolocationPermissions} methods to
|
||
get Geolocation permissions from, and set them on the WebView.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>New {@link android.webkit.WebSettings} methods to manage settings for
|
||
app cache, web storage, and zooming based on screen density.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>New {@link android.webkit.WebChromeClient} methods for handling video,
|
||
browsing history, custom Views, app cache limits, and more.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
</ul>
