With the Preview, you'll get an early start on testing your apps,
with enough time to make adjustments before the public platform release later
in the year. We'll provide several updates to the Preview tools in the weeks
ahead, so you can keep in sync with the latest changes as the platform moves
toward launch.
The N Developer Preview runs from 9 March 2016 until the final Android N
public release to AOSP and OEMs, planned for Q3 2016.
</p>
<p>
You can help us improve the platform by <a href=
"https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/">reporting issues</a>
through our feedback channels. This is especially
critical in the first month of the preview, when we’ll be giving priority to
developer-reported issues and feedback.

At key development milestones, we’ll deliver updates for your development and
testing environment. In general you can expect an update each month (4 to 6
week interval). The milestones are listed below.

Timeline and updates
</h2>
<p>
The Preview runs from March 9 until the final Android N public release planned for Q3
2016.
Each update includes SDK tools, preview system images, emulators, reference
documentation, and API diffs.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>first three preview milestones</strong> provide an <strong>early
test and development environment</strong> that help you identify
compatibility issues in your current apps and plan migration or feature work
needed to target the new platform. This is the priority period in which to
give us your feedback on features and APIs and file compatibility issues
&mdash; for all of these, please use the issue tracker [link]. You can expect
some API changes across these updates.
</p>
<p>
At <strong>previews 4 and 5</strong> you’ll have access to the <strong>final
N APIs and SDK</strong> to develop with, as well as near-final system images
to test system behaviors and features. Android N will provide a standard API
level at this time. You can begin final compatibility testing of your legacy
apps and refine any new code that is using the N APIs or features.
</p>
<p>
Also starting in preview 4, you’ll be able to <strong>publish apps to
devices</strong> running Android N at the official API level, such as
consumer devices that have opted into the Android Beta program. You can
publish into the Google Play alpha and beta channels first, so you can test
your apps with Android Beta consumers before distributing broadly on the
store.
</p>
<p>
As you test and develop on Android N, we strongly recommend <strong>keeping
your development environment up-to-date</strong> as Preview updates are released.
To make the process easier, we'll deliver <strong>updates over-the-air
(OTA)</strong> to devices already flashed to a Preview build, as well as
providing system images that you can download and flash manually.

<h3 id="android_beta">OTA Updates through Android Beta Program</h3>
<p>
To get started testing your app with the Preview:
New for Android N is an Over-the-Air (OTA) update program that automatically
delivers the latest preview updates of Android N directly to devices enrolled
in the program. The program is free, and it’s open to anyone who has a
supported device that’s registered to their Google account.
</p>
<p>
To enroll in the program visit the Android Beta Program site [LINK]. You’ll
see all of the devices registered to your account that are eligible to enroll
in Android Beta.
</p>
<ol>
<li>Review the <a href="{@docRoot}preview/api-overview.html">API Overview</a>
and <a href="{@docRoot}preview/behavior-changes.html">Behavior Changes</a> to get an
idea of what's new and how it affects your apps. In particular, learn about
the new <a href="{@docRoot}preview/features/runtime-permissions.html">runtime

</li>
<li> Choose the devices you want to receive the Android N updates

</ol>
<li>Set up your environment by following the instructions for
<a href="{@docRoot}preview/setup-sdk.html">Setting up the Preview SDK</a>
and configuring test devices.
</li>
<p>
Once you’ve enrolled, your device will soon receive an update. In most cases,
you will not need to do a full reset of your data to move to Android N, but
it’s recommended that you back up any data you don’t want to lose before
enrolling the device.
</p>
<li>Follow the <a href="https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images">

for Nexus 5, 6, 9, and Player. Once you've flashed your development device,
Preview updates will be delivered through over-the-air (OTA) updates.</a>
</li>
<p>
As updates are delivered to your device, we recommend downloading and
installing them as soon as possible. You’ll want to stay current with the
latest changes in system UI, behavior, APIs, and features.

As you test and develop on the N Developer Preview, please use these channels
to report issues and give feedback.
</p>
<ul>
<li> <a href="https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/">N Developer Preview Issue
Tracker</a> is your <strong>primary feedback channel.</strong> You can report bugs, performance
issues, and general feedback through the issue tracker. You can also check for <a
href="https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/wiki/KnownIssues">known issues</a> and
find workaround steps. We’ll keep you updated on your issue as it’s triaged and sent to
the Android engineering team for review. </li>
<li> The <a href="https://developer.android.com/preview/dev-community">Android N Developer Community</a> is
a Google+ community where you can <strong>connect with other developers</strong>working with
Android N. You can share observations or ideas or find answers to

</ul>
<h3 id="targeting">Targeting, preview APIs, and publishing</h3>
<p>
The N Developer Preview provides a development-only system and Android
library that <strong>does not have a standard API level</strong>. If you want
to opt out of compatibility behaviors to test your app (which is strongly
recommended), you can target the preview version of Android N by setting your
app's <code><a href=
"{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html">targetSdkVersion</a></code>
to <code>“N”</code>.
</p>
<p>
The Android N Developer Preview delivers <strong>preview APIs</strong>
&mdash; the APIs will not be official until the final SDK is released,
currently planned for the third quarter of 2016. This means that you can
<strong>expect minor API changes</strong> over time, especially during
initial weeks of the program. We’ll provide a summary of changes to you with
each update of the Android N Developer Preview.
</p>
<p class="note">
<strong>Note</strong>: Although preview APIs may change, underlying
system behaviors are stable and ready for testing against
right away.
</p>
<p>
Google Play <strong>prevents publishing of apps targeting the N Developer
Preview</strong>. When the Android N final SDK is available, you’ll be able
to target the official Android N API level and publish your app to Google
Play via the alpha and beta release channels. Meanwhile, if you want to
distribute an app targeting Android M to testers, you can do so via email or
by direct download from your site.
</p>
<p>
At the full release of Android N to AOSP and OEMs, planned for Q3 2016,
you’ll be able to publish your apps targeting Android N to the public release
channel in Google Play.
