H.264 AVC supported for android phones?

Question

I am totally confused after reading 2 different posts today. With the research I did in android docs, I learnt H.264 AVC is not supported for versions lower than Android OS 3.0 according to this and at the same time I come across this forum post saying it is supported. please give me a definite answer. I am trying to show live stream of an IPCamera in my app through rtsp URL which my client is sending. It is in H.264 AVC media codec format

Wikipedia says: "Google's Android platform for mobile devices natively supports H.264 (based on PacketVideo's OpenCORE) On the T-Mobile G1, a Qualcomm MSM7200 CPU provides hardware decoding." HERE

H.264 is a standard, then, I think it will work. This topic could help you.
