A library jar that provides APIs for Applications written for the Google Android Platform.

There is a newer version: 14-robolectric-10818077




Contains classes for accessing and publishing data on a device.  It includes three main
categories of APIs:


  Content sharing ({@link android.content})
  For sharing content between application components. The most important classes are:
    
      {@link android.content.ContentProvider} and {@link android.content.ContentResolver}
  for managing and publishing persistent data associated with an application.
      {@link android.content.Intent} and {@link android.content.IntentFilter}, for delivering
  structured messages between different application components—allowing components to initiate
  other components and return results.
    
  

  Package management ({@link android.content.pm})
  For accessing information about an Android package (an {@code .apk}), including information
about its activities, permissions, services, signatures, and providers. The most important class for
accessing this information is {@link android.content.pm.PackageManager}.

  Resource management ({@link android.content.res})
  For retrieving resource data associated with an application, such as strings, drawables,
media, and device configuration details. The most important class for accessing this data is {@link
android.content.res.Resources}.
