<h2 id="provisional">Using a Provisional API Level</h2>



<p>In some cases, an "Early Look" Android SDK platform may be available. To let

you begin developing on the platform although the APIs may not be final, the

platform's API Level integer will not be specified. You must instead use the

platform's <em>provisional API Level</em> in your application manifest, in order

to build applications against the platform. A provisional API Level is not an

integer, but a string matching the codename of the unreleased platform version.

The provisional API Level will be specified in the release notes for the Early

Look SDK release notes and is case-sensitive.</p>



<p>The use of a provisional API Level is designed to protect developers and

device users from inadvertently publishing or installing applications based on

the Early Look framework API, which may not run properly on actual devices

running the final system image.</p>



<p>The provisional API Level will only be valid while using the Early Look SDK

and can only be used to run applications in the emulator. An application using

the provisional API Level can never be installed on an Android device. At the

final release of the platform, you must replace any instances of the provisional

API Level in your application manifest with the final platform's actual API

Level integer.</p>
