     20       <p>Today weve released a static library that exposes the same Fragments API (as well as the new LoaderManager and a few other classes) so that applications compatible with Android 1.6 or later can use fragments to create tablet-compatible user interfaces. </p>

     25       <h4>Multithreading for Performance</h4>
     26       <p>A good practice in creating responsive applications is to make sure your main UI thread
     27 does the minimum amount of work. Any potentially long task that may hang your application should be
     28 handled in a different thread.</p>
