<p>The Android Support Library package contains several libraries that can be included
  in your application. Each of these libraries supports a specific range of Android platform
  versions and set of features.</p>

<p>This guide explains the important features and version support provided by the Support
  Libraries to help you decide which of them you should include in your application. In general,
  we recommend including the <a href="#v4">v4 support</a> and <a href="#v7-appcompat">v7
  appcompat</a> libraries, because they support a wide range of
  Android versions and provide APIs for recommended user interface patterns.</p>

<p>In order to use any of the following libraries, you must download the library files to your
  Android SDK installation. Follow the directions for downloading the Support Libraries in
  <a href="{@docRoot}tools/support-library/setup.html#download">Support Library Setup</a> to
  complete this step. You must take additional steps to include a specific Support Library in
  your application. See the end of each library section below for important information on how to
  include the library in your application.</p>


<h2 id="v4">v4 Support Library</h2>

support <a href="https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/android_sender">Google Cast</a>. </p>

<p>In general, the APIs in the v7 mediarouter library provide a means of
controlling the routing of media channels and streams from the current device to
external screens, speakers, and other destination devices. The library includes
APIs for publishing app-specific media route providers, for discovering and
selecting destination devices, for checking media status, and more. For detailed
information about the v7 mediarouter library APIs, see the
{@link android.support.v7.media android.support.v7.media} package in the API
reference.</p>

<p>The v7 mediarouter library is located in the
<code>&lt;sdk&gt;/extras/android/support/v7/mediarouter/</code> directory after
you download the Android Support Library. It's provided as a library project
with a dependency on the v7 appcompat library, so you'll need to include both
libraries in your build path when setting up your project. For more information
on how to set up your project, follow the instructions in <a
href="{@docRoot}tools/support-library/setup.html#libs-with-res">Adding libraries
with resources</a>. If you are developing in Eclipse/ADT, make sure to include
both the <code>android-support-v7-mediarouter.jar</code> and
<code>android-support-v7-appcompat.jar</code> files.</p>

<p>If you are using Android Studio, all you need to do is specify the Gradle build
script dependency identifier <code>com.android.support:support-v7-mediarouter:&lt;revision&gt;</code>,
where "&lt;revision&gt;" is the minimum revision at which the library is available. For example:</p>

<pre>
com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:21.0.0
</pre>

<p class="caution">The v7 mediarouter library APIs introduced in Support Library
r18 are subject to change in later revisions of the Support Library. At this
time, we recommend using the library only in connection with <a
href="https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/android_sender">Google Cast</a>. </p>

<h3 id="v7-palette">v7 palette library</h3>

<p>The v7 palette support library includes the
{@link android.support.v7.graphics.Palette} class, which lets you extract
prominent colors from an image. For example, a music app could use a
{@link android.support.v7.graphics.Palette} object to extract the major colors
from an album cover, and use those colors to build a color-coordinated song
title card.</p>

<p>After you download the Android Support Libraries, this library is located in the
{@code &lt;sdk&gt;/extras/android/support/v7/palette/} directory. The library does not contain
user interface resources. To include it in your application project, follow the instructions for
<a href="{@docRoot}tools/support-library/setup.html#libs-without-res">Adding libraries without
resources</a>.</p>

<p>The Gradle build script dependency identifier for this library is as follows:</p>
