<p>When developing an Android application that uses RenderScript, you can access its Java API in
one of two ways. The APIs are available in the {@link android.renderscript} package
on devices running Android 3.0 (API level 11) and higher. These are the original APIs for
RenderScript. The APIs are also available as a Support Library in the
{@link android.support.v8.renderscript} package, which allow you to use them on devices running
Android 2.2 (API level 8) and higher.</p>

<li><strong>{@link android.renderscript}</strong> - The APIs in this class package are
available on devices running Android 3.0 (API level 11) and higher. These are the original APIs
for RenderScript and are not currently being updated.</li>

higher.</li>
</ul>
<p>We strongly recommend using the Support Library APIs for accessing RenderScript because they
include the latest improvements to the RenderScript compute framework and provide a wider range
of device compatibility. Using the RenderScript APIs in the Support Library requires specific
setup procedures for your development environment, which is described in the next section.</p>
