From: Joe Fernandez To develop an Android app, you must install at least one Android platform from the SDK Manager
-against which you can compile your app. Often, any given version of the Android will be revised
-with bug fixes or other changes, as denoted by the revision number. Below, you'll find the
-release notes for each version of the platform and the subsequent revisions to the platform
-version. This document provides information about Android platform releases. In order to compile your
+application against a particular platform release, you must download and install the SDK Platform
+for that release. If you want to test your application on an emulator, you must also download at
+least one system image for that platform release. To determine what revision of an Android platform you have installed, refer to the
-Installed Packages listing in the Android
+ Each platform release includes system images that support a specific processor architecture,
+such as ARM EABI, Intel x86 or MIPS. Platform releases also include a system image that contains
+Google APIs. The SDK Manager lists available
+platform system images under each platform version header, for example: To determine what revisions of an Android platform you have installed, refer to the
+Packages listing in the Android
SDK Manager. Important: To download the most recent Android
-system components from the Android SDK Manager, you must first update the SDK Tools to
-revision 22 or later and restart the SDK Manager. If you do not,
-the latest Android system components will not be available for download.
