+  Custom Pointer API
+</h2>
+
+<p>
+  Android N introduces the Custom Pointer API, which lets you customize the
+  appearance, visibility, and behavior of the pointer. This capability is
+  especially useful when a user is using a mouse or touchpad to interact with
+  UI objects. The default pointer uses a standard icon. This API also includes
+  advanced functionality such as changing the pointer icon's appearance based
+  on specific mouse or touchpad movements.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  To set a pointer icon, override the <code>onResolvePointerIcon()</code>
+  method of the <code>View</code> class. This method uses a
+  <code>PointerIcon</code> object to draw the icon that corresponds to a
+  specific motion event.
