/**

*
Update to Honeycomb MR1 to support 7 inch tablets, improve
* screen compatibility mode, etc.
*
*
As of this version, applications that don't say whether they
* support XLARGE screens will be assumed to do so only if they target
* {@link #HONEYCOMB} or later; it had been {@link #GINGERBREAD} or
* later. Applications that don't support a screen size at least as
* large as the current screen will provide the user with a UI to
* switch them in to screen size compatibility mode.
*
*
This version introduces new screen size resource qualifiers
* based on the screen size in dp: see
* {@link android.content.res.Configuration#screenWidthDp},
* {@link android.content.res.Configuration#screenHeightDp}, and
* {@link android.content.res.Configuration#smallestScreenWidthDp}.
* Supplying these in <supports-screens> as per
* {@link android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#requiresSmallestWidthDp},
* {@link android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#compatibleWidthLimitDp}, and
* {@link android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo#largestWidthLimitDp} is
* preferred over the older screen size buckets and for older devices
* the appropriate buckets will be inferred from them.
*
*
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these
* new changes in behavior:
*
* New {@link android.content.pm.PackageManager#FEATURE_SCREEN_PORTRAIT}
* and {@link android.content.pm.PackageManager#FEATURE_SCREEN_LANDSCAPE}
* features were introduced in this release. Applications that target
* previous platform versions are assumed to require both portrait and
* landscape support in the device; when targeting Honeycomb MR1 or
* greater the application is responsible for specifying any specific
* orientation it requires.
* {@link android.os.AsyncTask} will use the serial executor
* by default when calling {@link android.os.AsyncTask#execute}.
* {@link android.content.pm.ActivityInfo#configChanges
* ActivityInfo.configChanges} will have the
* {@link android.content.pm.ActivityInfo#CONFIG_SCREEN_SIZE} and
* {@link android.content.pm.ActivityInfo#CONFIG_SMALLEST_SCREEN_SIZE}
* bits set; these need to be cleared for older applications because
* some developers have done absolute comparisons against this value

/**
* October 2011: Android 4.0.
*
*
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these
* new changes in behavior:
*
* - For devices without a dedicated menu key, the software compatibility
* menu key will not be shown even on phones. By targeting Ice Cream Sandwich
* or later, your UI must always have its own menu UI affordance if needed,
* on both tablets and phones. The ActionBar will take care of this for you.
*
- 2d drawing hardware acceleration is now turned on by default.
* You can use
* {@link android.R.attr#hardwareAccelerated android:hardwareAccelerated}
* to turn it off if needed, although this is strongly discouraged since
* it will result in poor performance on larger screen devices.
*
- The default theme for applications is now the "device default" theme:
* {@link android.R.style#Theme_DeviceDefault}. This may be the
* holo dark theme or a different dark theme defined by the specific device.
* The {@link android.R.style#Theme_Holo} family must not be modified
* for a device to be considered compatible. Applications that explicitly
* request a theme from the Holo family will be guaranteed that these themes
* will not change character within the same platform version. Applications
* that wish to blend in with the device should use a theme from the
* {@link android.R.style#Theme_DeviceDefault} family.
*
- Managed cursors can now throw an exception if you directly close
* the cursor yourself without stopping the management of it; previously failures
* would be silently ignored.
*
- The fadingEdge attribute on views will be ignored (fading edges is no
* longer a standard part of the UI). A new requiresFadingEdge attribute allows
* applications to still force fading edges on for special cases.
*
- {@link android.content.Context#bindService Context.bindService()}
* will not automatically add in {@link android.content.Context#BIND_WAIVE_PRIORITY}.
*
- App Widgets will have standard padding automatically added around
* them, rather than relying on the padding being baked into the widget itself.
*
- An exception will be thrown if you try to change the type of a
* window after it has been added to the window manager. Previously this
* would result in random incorrect behavior.
*
- {@link android.view.animation.AnimationSet} will parse out
* the duration, fillBefore, fillAfter, repeatMode, and startOffset
* XML attributes that are defined.
*
- {@link android.app.ActionBar#setHomeButtonEnabled
* ActionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled()} is false by default.

* access to the call log is no longer implicitly provided through
* {@link android.Manifest.permission#READ_CONTACTS} and
* {@link android.Manifest.permission#WRITE_CONTACTS}.
*
- {@link android.widget.RemoteViews} will throw an exception if
* setting an onClick handler for views being generated by a
* {@link android.widget.RemoteViewsService} for a collection container;
* previously this just resulted in a warning log message.
*
- New {@link android.app.ActionBar} policy for embedded tabs:
* embedded tabs are now always stacked in the action bar when in portrait
* mode, regardless of the size of the screen.
*
- {@link android.webkit.WebSettings#setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs(boolean)
* WebSettings.setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs} and
* {@link android.webkit.WebSettings#setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(boolean)
* WebSettings.setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs} default to false.
*
- Calls to {@link android.content.pm.PackageManager#setComponentEnabledSetting
* PackageManager.setComponentEnabledSetting} will now throw an
* IllegalArgumentException if the given component class name does not
* exist in the application's manifest.
*
- {@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter#setNdefPushMessage
* NfcAdapter.setNdefPushMessage},
* {@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter#setNdefPushMessageCallback
* NfcAdapter.setNdefPushMessageCallback} and
* {@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter#setOnNdefPushCompleteCallback
* NfcAdapter.setOnNdefPushCompleteCallback} will throw
* IllegalStateException if called after the Activity has been destroyed.
*
- Accessibility services must require the new
* {@link android.Manifest.permission#BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE} permission or
* they will not be available for use.
*
- {@link android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityServiceInfo#FLAG_INCLUDE_NOT_IMPORTANT_VIEWS
