一般SDK中都会带有一些示例程序，说明具体用法，Android SDK也是如此。它提供了一些ApiDemo示例，详细说明了Android中主要API，分为以下几大类：

1、App

2、Content

3、Graphics

4、Media

5、OS

6、Text

7、Views

每个大类又分为几个小类，一共大约有200多个实例，涵盖了Android OS API的各个方面。下面是所有示例的列表：

本示例解读系列将逐个介绍每个示例中涉及到的知识及相关类的用法.

首先是使用Eclipse创建一个ApiDemo示例工程：File ->New Android Project 选择Create project from existing sample （不同Android版本有对应的ApiDemo示例）。

以上就是对Android ApiDemo 示例工程的创建，希望能帮助到有需要的小伙伴！
