Android* 3.2 is the latest platform version of the Google* Operating System for Android* tablet devices. Released to developers in SDK form February 2011, this is the third release of the 3.X series of the platform. Intel® Atom™ based devices create a powerful platform to develop high performance applications using exclusive features found only on Intel devices.
This guide is intended to help developers port existing ARM*-based NDK applications to x86. If you already have a working application and need to know how to quickly get your application recognized on the Android* Market by x86 devices, this document should provide you with the information to get started. The guide also provides tips and guidance if you run into compiler issues during the porting process.
The SDK includes tools and platform components for developers to build, test, and debug their Android* applications, and manage the Android* platform component installation. The SDK also provides easy ways to integrate with the build and development environments, for examples, with Eclipse* or Apache Ant*.
Use this x86 emulator image add-on with the Android SDK to test your Android applications on a virtual Intel Architecture-based phone device.
