</li>
<li>
WQVGA (240x400, low density, normal screen)

</ul>
<p>For more information about how to develop an application that displays
and functions properly on all Android-powered devices, see <a
href="{@docRoot}guide/practices/screens_support.html">Supporting Multiple
Screens</a>.</p>
<h2 id="api">Framework API</h2>
<p>The sections below provide information about changes made to the application
framework API provided by the Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} platform.</p>
<h3 id="api-level">API level</h3>
<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
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>
<h3 id="api-changes">API changes summary</h3>
<p>The following is a summary of some notable changes to the framework APIs.</p>
<h4>Live Wallpapers</h4>
<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>
<h4>Telephony</h4>
<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>
<h4>Views</h4>
<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>
<h4>WebKit</h4>
<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>
