    The sections below provide information about new developer features offered by the downloadable Android 2.0 platform component.

    + +

    + + + +

    Framework API

    + +

    The sections below provide information about changes made to the application +framework API provided by the Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} platform. Note, +however, that Android 2.0.1 is a minor release to Android 2.0, so for more +information about the changes made to in Android 2.0, please refer to the +Android 2.0 version notes.

    + + +

    API level

    + +

    The Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} platform delivers an updated version of the framework +API. The Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} API +is assigned an integer identifier — {@sdkPlatformApiLevel} — 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.

    + +

    To use APIs introduced in Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} in your application, you need to +set the proper value, "{@sdkPlatformApiLevel}", in the attributes of the <uses-sdk> +element in your application's manifest.

    + +

    For more information about how to use API Level, see the API Levels document.

    + + +

    API changes summary

    + +

    The following is a summary of changes to the framework APIs.

    + + + +

    Behavior changes

    + +

    The following is a summary of changes that affect the behavior of some +framework APIs but do not add or remove API functionality.

    + +

    Bluetooth

    + +

    Changes to the values returned by {@link +android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter#ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE} and +{@link android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter#ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE}:

    + + + +

    Contacts

    + +

    The {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_INSERT} Intent now returns {@link +android.app.Activity#RESULT_CANCELED} in cases where the contact was not +persisted (for example, if the save was trimmed to a no-op).

    + + +

    Bug fixes

    + +

    The following is a summary of bug fixes that affect some framework APIs.

    + +

    Resources

    + +

    The framework now correctly selects application resources in project +folders that use the API Level qualifier. For example, {@code drawable-v4/} is a +folder of drawable resources for API Level 4 (or higher) devices. This version +matching did not work properly and has been fixed.

    + +

    Contacts

    + +

    The {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_INSERT} Intent now returns the +appropriate kind of URI when the request is made using the (now +deprecated) {@link android.provider.Contacts} APIs.

    + +

    Other Framework fixes

    + + + + +

    API differences report

    + +

    For a detailed view of API changes in Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} (API Level {@sdkPlatformApiLevel}), as compared to +API Level 5, see the API +Differences Report. Note that this difference report compares only to +the most recent API Level, and there are few changes, so to see changes +introduces in Android 2.0 (API Level 5), see the API +Differences between 4 and 5.
