25<p>To develop an Android app, you must install at least one Android platform from the SDK Manager
26against which you can compile your app. Often, any given version of the Android will be revised
Joe Fernandezf8f1f882012-10-09 12:27:47 -070027with bug fixes or other changes, as denoted by the revision number. Below, you'll find the
Scott Main50e990c2012-06-21 17:14:39 -070028release notes for each version of the platform and the subsequent revisions to the platform
29version.</p>
30
Joe Fernandezf8f1f882012-10-09 12:27:47 -070031<p>To determine what revision of an Android platform you have installed, refer to the
32<strong>Installed Packages</strong> listing in the Android SDK Manager.</p>

452
453<p>To test your application on an emulator that represents the latest Android device, you can create
454an AVD with the new WXGA720 skin (it's an xhdpi, normal screen device). Note that the emulator
455currently doesn't support the new on-screen navigation bar for devices without hardware navigation
456buttons, so when using this skin, you must use keyboard keys <em>Home</em> for the Home button,
457<em>ESC</em> for the Back button, and <em>F2</em> or <em>Page-up</em> for the Menu button.</p>
458
459<p>However, due to performance issues in the emulator when running high-resolution screens such as
460the one for the WXGA720 skin, we recommend that you primarily use the traditional WVGA800 skin
461(hdpi, normal screen) to test your application.</p>
