Description-en: Android Platform Headers from AOSP releases
Android NDK provided by Google contains subset of AOSP platform
headers which are deemed "external interface" by Google. However,
writing advanced software for Android necessitates access to complete
platform. Many aspects of it change, sometimes drastically, between
releases, so compiling user source code against platform headers for
different releases is required (e.g. for libhybris).
.
This package provides the platform development headers for core components
of AOSP (Android Open Source Project), for the 5.0 release
