Instant Run works with any Android Device or emulator running API 14 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or higher. When you click on the Instant Run button, it will analyze the changes you have made and determine how it can deploy your new code in the fastest way. It lets you see your changes running “in a near instant,” which means you can continuously code and run your app, hopefully accelerating your edit, build, run cycles.
