+<p>This class demonstrates how to use UI components and APIs available in newer versions of Android in a backward-compatible way, ensuring that your application still runs on previous versions of the platform.</p>
+
+<p>Throughout this class, the new <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html#Tabs">Action Bar Tabs</a> feature introduced in Android 3.0 (API level 11) serves as the guiding example, but you can apply these techniques to other UI components and API features.</p>
