This format indicates the total percent of active devices that are compatible 71 with a given version of Android. For example, if you develop your application for 72 the version that is at the very top of the chart, then your application is 73 compatible with 100% of active devices (and all future versions), because all Android APIs are 74 forward compatible. Or, if you develop your application for a version lower on the chart, 75 then it is currently compatible with the percentage of devices indicated on the y-axis, where the 76 line for that version meets the y-axis on the right.</p> 77 78 <p>Each dataset in the timeline is based on the number of Android devices that accessed 79 Google Play within a 14-day period ending on the date indicated on the x-axis.</p> 80 81 <img alt="" height="250" width="660" 82 src="http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?&cht=lc&chs=660x250&chxt=x,x,y,r&chf=bg,s,00000000&chxr=0,0,12|1,0,12|2,0,100|3,0,100&chxl=0%3A%7C05/01%7C05/15%7C06/01%7C06/15%7C07/01%7C07/15%7C08/01%7C08/15%7C09/01%7C09/15%7C10/01%7C10/15%7C11/01%7C1%3A%7C2012%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C2012%7C2%3A%7C0%25%7C25%25%7C50%25%7C75%25%7C100%25%7C3%3A%7C0%25%7C25%25%7C50%25%7C75%25%7C100%25&chxp=0,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12&chxtc=0,5&chd=t:98.1,98.1,98.3,98.5,98.6,98.7,98.9,98.9,99.0,99.1,99.2,99.2,99.2|92.5,92.7,93.1,93.5,93.9,94.2,94.7,94.9,95.3,95.5,95.8,96.0,96.1|71.5,72.6,74.0,75.2,76.5,77.8,79.2,80.1,81.1,82.0,82.9,83.5,84.4|7.6,8.2,9.4,11.0,12.8,15.6,18.9,21.2,23.7,25.5,27.4,28.7,31.1|6.6,7.4,8.7,10.4,12.3,15.1,18.4,20.7,23.2,25.1,27.0,28.3,30.7|4.4,5.3,6.7,8.4,10.4,13.2,16.6,19.0,21.5,23.5,25.5,26.8,29.4|0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.8,0.9,1.1,1.4,1.8,2.1,3.2&chm=b,c3df9b,0,1,0|tAndroid%202.2,6c9729,1,0,15,,t::-5|b,b6dc7d,1,2,0|tAndroid%202.3.3,5b831d,2,0,15,,t::-5|b,aadb5e,2,3,0|b,9ddb3d,3,4,0|b,91da1e,4,5,0|tAndroid%204.0.3,253a06,5,4,15,,t::-5|b,80c414,5,6,0|B,6fad0c,6,7,0&chg=7,25&chdl=Android%202.1|Android%202.2|Android%202.3.3|Android%203.1|Android%203.2|Android%204.0.3|Android%204.1&chco=add274,a0d155,94d134,84c323,73ad18,62960f,507d08"/> 83 84 <p><em>Last historical dataset collected during a 14-day period ending on November 1, 2012</em></p> 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 <h2 id="Screens">Screen Sizes and Densities</h2> 110 111 112 <img alt="" style="float:right;" 113 src="http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=p&chs=400x250&chf=bg,s,00000000&chco=c4df9b,6fad0c&chl=Xlarge%7CLarge%7CNormal%7CSmall&chd=t%3A4.6,6.1,86.6,2.7" /> 114 115 116 <img alt="" style="float:right;clear:right" 117 src="http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=p&chs=400x250&chf=bg,s,00000000&chco=c4df9b,6fad0c&chl=ldpi%7Cmdpi%7Chdpi%7Cxhdpi&chd=t%3A2.2,18,51.1,28.7" /> 118 119 <p>This section provides data about the relative number of active devices that have a particular 120 screen configuration, defined by a combination of screen size and density.
