Renderscript via the support library

android, android-support-library, renderscript

Solution

PSA for Googlers: RenderScript is now part of the Android Support Library. You can use it on Android 2.2+.

Problem

Seems to me that android has an android.support.v8 package that contains Renderscript support. The thing is, this doesn't seem documented anywhere - the support library docs don't say anything about a v8 package, just v4 and v13. Is that package supported on all devices with API level 8 and above and can it be safely used in production?
