Android apps
The Live SDK provides an API for the Google Android mobile technology platform.
The Android API enables your apps running on Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, and Ice Cream Sandwich versions of Android to work with info in Microsoft OneDrive, and other services that use Microsoft account. Although you can still write code to call the Live SDK Representational State Transfer (REST) API directly, the Android API now makes your coding tasks easier.
Note
If you're working on a mobile app that runs on Windows Phone, this isn't the topic you need. Go to Windows Runtime apps.
Get started
You can use the Live SDK Android API to target Android platform versions 2.2 and later. Get started by downloading the Live SDK for Android.
