【翻译】Android Support Library Features（二）

原文地址：http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/features.html

在Android Support Library包中，包含了几个可以被引入到你应用的库。每一个库支持一个特定的Android平台版本范围和功能集合。

原文：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.

这个指南解释了Support Library提供的重要功能和版本，这将帮助你决定你的应用选择哪一个功能和版本。总的来说，我们推荐引入v4 support和 v7 appcompat的库，因为它们支持的Android版本很广泛，并为推荐的用户界面样式提供API。

原文：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 v4 support and  v7 appcompat libraries, because they support a wide range of Android versions and provide APIs for recommended user interface patterns.

想要使用任何下面的库，你必须将库文件下载到你安装的Android SDK中。在Support Library Setup中根据指引下载Support Library，来完成这一步骤。你必须采取额外的措施来引入一个特殊的Support Library到你的应用中。查看下面每一个库章节的末尾来获取重要信息，这些信息阐述了如何将库引入你的应用中。

原文：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 Support Library Setup 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.


v4 Support Library
这个库是为Android 1.6（API level 4）和更高版本设计的。相对于其他库，他包含的API集合最大，包括对应用组件、用户界面功能、辅助功能、数据处理、网络连接和编程工具的支持。这里有一些包含在v4库中的关键类：（此处偷个懒，省去关键类的翻译500字^_^）

原文：This library is designed to be used with Android 1.6 (API level 4) and higher. It includes the largest set of APIs compared to the other libraries, including support for application components, user interface features, accessibility, data handling, network connectivity, and programming utilities. Here are a few of the key classes included in the v4 library:
