28 /**
29  * Indicates than an API is only supported on platform versions of at least the given value and
30  * later.
31  *
32  * Currently, this annotations is purely informational. The exact meaning of this annotation depends
33  * on it's context:
34  * <ul>
35  *     <li>On a public SDK method, it means that the member should only be included in the SDK of
36  *     the given version or later</li>
37  *     <li>On a module API, it will mean that it should only be called when running on a device with
38  *     the given SDK or later</li>
39  * </ul>
40  *
41  * In future, the annotation will acquire further semantics:
42  * <ul>
43  *     <li>Classes annotated with this will only be classloaded on devices running the given SDK
44  *     version or later.</li>
45  *     <li>It will be used to ensure API safety at build time in the context of a codebase with
46  *     different parts having different min SDK versions.</li>
47  * </ul>
48  *
49  * This annotation should only be used on code that exports an API (either public SDK or
50  * {@code @SystemApi}. For code that just calls APIs that only exist on newer platform versions
51  * use {@code androidx.annotation.RequiresApi} instead.
