<p>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.</p>

<p>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 <a href="{@docRoot}tools/help/sdk-manager.html">SDK Manager</a> lists available
platform system images under each platform version header, for example:</p>

<ul>
  <li>ARM EABI v7a System Image</li>
  <li>Intel x86 Atom System Image</li>
  <li>MIPS System Image</li>
  <li>Google APIs</li>
</ul>

<p>To determine what revisions of an Android platform you have installed, refer to the
<em>Packages</em> listing in the Android
<a href="{@docRoot}tools/help/sdk-manager.html">SDK Manager</a>.</p>

<p class="caution"><strong>Important:</strong> To download the most recent Android
system components from the Android SDK Manager, you must first update the SDK Tools to the
most recent release and restart the SDK Manager. If you do not, the latest Android system
components will not be available for download.</p>

  <li>
    WXGA (1280x800, medium density, xlarge screen)
  </li>
</ul>

<p>To test your application on an emulator that represents the latest Android device, you can create
an AVD with the new WXGA720 skin (it's an xhdpi, normal screen device). Note that the emulator
currently doesn't support the new on-screen navigation bar for devices without hardware navigation
buttons, so when using this skin, you must use keyboard keys <em>Home</em> for the Home button,
<em>ESC</em> for the Back button, and <em>F2</em> or <em>Page-up</em> for the Menu button.</p>

<p>However, due to performance issues in the emulator when running high-resolution screens such as
the one for the WXGA720 skin, we recommend that you primarily use the traditional WVGA800 skin
(hdpi, normal screen) to test your application.</p>
