<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>

</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>
