Merge "Android 4.3 Platform Google APIs r2 system image Release Notes" into jb-mr2-docs

<p>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.</p>

<p>To determine what revision of an Android platform you have installed, refer to the

<strong>Installed Packages</strong> listing in the Android

<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>
