+ * replaced by the new
+ * <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#collections">AppWidget Collection</a>
+ * APIs introduced in {@link android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#HONEYCOMB}. These provide
+ * all of the features of live folders plus many more. The use of live folders is greatly
+ * discouraged because of security issues they introduce -- publishing a live folder requires
+ * making all data show for the live folder available to all applications with no
+ * permissions protecting it.
