gradle - Android: What is the difference between "support" and "appcompat" -
this question has answer here:
i have come upon these lines in build.gradle file:
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13...' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7...'
until thought supporting older versions of android use appcompat libs.
so difference between "support" , "appcompat"?
v4 support library
this library designed used android 1.6 (api level 4) , higher. includes largest set of apis compared other libraries, including support application components, user interface features, accessibility, data handling, network connectivity, , programming utilities.
v7 libraries
there several libraries designed used android 2.1 (api level 7) , higher. these libraries provide specific feature sets , can included in application independently each other.
v7 appcompat library
this library adds support action bar user interface design pattern.
