-<p>When developing an Android application that uses RenderScript, you can access its Java API in
- one of two ways. The APIs are available in the {@link android.renderscript} package
- on devices running Android 3.0 (API level 11) and higher. These are the original APIs for
- RenderScript. The APIs are also available as a Support Library in the
