Apps must be very careful when targeting preview builds because binary compatibility
* is not guaranteed. APIs can be renamed or drastically changed before they are finalized
* into a new API level. The new SDK constant Build.VERSION.PREVIEW_SDK_INT
* marks a precise snapshot version of prerelease API.
{@link #isKnownPreviewDevice()} will return true
if the current device
* is running a preview build with the same SDK snapshot this support lib was built with.
* If it returns true
it is safe to call prerelease APIs. If not, the app
* should fall back to only assuming the presence of the latest public, final API level.
