Features and Features

SDK Tools
Contains tools for debugging and testing, as well as other utilities needed to develop the application. If you just installed the Starter SDK, you already have the latest version of that SDK. Make sure you keep this up to date.

Platform Tools SDK
Contains platform-specific tools for developing and debugging your application. These tools support the latest features of the Android platform and are usually only updated when a new platform comes out. These tools are always backwards compatible with older platforms, but you must be sure you have the latest version of these tools installed when you install a new platform SDK.

Documentation
An offline copy of the latest Android platform API documentation.

Platform SDK
One platform SDK is available for each version of Android. It includes the android.jar file with a fully compatible Android library. To build an Android app, you must specify the SDK platform as the build target.

System images
Each platform version offers one or more different system images (eg for ARM and x86). That Android emulator requires a system image to work. You should always test your app on the latest version of Android, and using the emulator with the latest system image is a good way to do this.
