| Xavier Ducrohet | 665f681 | 2012-06-01 18:28:08 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | 20.0.0 |
| Tor Norbye | 7eeb2d6 | 2012-06-06 14:21:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame^] | 2 | * A lot of bug fixes, performance fixes and memory fixes. |
| 3 | * Support for Eclipse 4.x. |
| 4 | * Build System |
| 5 | * Automatic merging of library project manifest files into the |
| 6 | including project's manifest. Enable with the |
| 7 | manifestmerger.enabled property. |
| 8 | * Automatic ProGuard support for the aapt -G flag. This means that |
| 9 | the build system will generate a temporary ProGuard keep-rules |
| 10 | file containing classes to keep that are referenced from XML files |
| 11 | (such as custom views) and pass this to ProGuard at |
| 12 | shrink-time. This can make the resulting APK much smaller when |
| 13 | using just a small portion of a large library project (such as the |
| 14 | Android Support library), since we have also removed the catch-all |
| 15 | rules to keep all custom views from the default ProGuard |
| 16 | configuration file. |
| 17 | * Aidl files from library projects are now in the import list. |
| 18 | * Fixes in Ant: |
| 19 | * Test projects now have access to the full classpath from the |
| 20 | tested projects, including Library Projects and 3rd party jar |
| 21 | * Applications embedding tests can now be deployed and tested, |
| 22 | including with code coverage, like test applications. |
| 23 | * Lint |
| 24 | * Tighter integration with the layout editor (error and warning |
| 25 | icons overlaid views with errors, lint error messages shown as |
| 26 | tooltips in the layout canvas and in the outline, error count |
| 27 | displayed in the layout actions bar.) |
| 28 | * Lint is run incrementally in Java files on save, just like XML |
| 29 | files already are. |
| 30 | * New lint rules: |
| 31 | * Detect usages of Toast.makeText() without calling show() on the |
| 32 | result, as well as passing invalid duration parameters (e.g. a |
| 33 | number instead of one of the two allowed constants.) |
| 34 | * Detect incorrect manifest registrations (where elements such as |
| 35 | <uses-library>, <activity> etc are placed under the wrong parent.) |
| 36 | * Several security checks: Look for exported content providers |
| 37 | without required permissions, look for creation of world readable |
| 38 | files and preferences, look for calls to |
| 39 | android.webkit.WebSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled. |
| 40 | * Check to make sure that Fragment classes are instantiatable. If |
| 41 | you accidentally make a fragment innerclass non-static, or forget |
| 42 | to have a default constructor, you can hit runtime errors when the |
| 43 | system attempts to reinstantiate your fragment after a |
| 44 | configuration change. |
| 45 | * Look for handler leaks: This check makes sure that a handler inner |
| 46 | class does not hold an implicit reference to its outer class. |
| 47 | * Duplicate Activity registrations in the manifest. This can lead to |
| 48 | subtle errors that can be difficult to understand. |
| 49 | * Lint check ensuring that when you edit() a SharedPreference object |
| 50 | you call commit() |
| 51 | * Layout Editor |
| 52 | * New property sheet implementation, which offers: |
| 53 | * Highlighting (in bold) for important attributes. |
| 54 | * Inline preview of colors and images, as well as the |
| 55 | corresponding resource name. |
| 56 | * Displays default values, when available. |
| 57 | * Completion of resource values and enum and flag constants. |
| 58 | * Support for showing and hiding "advanced" properties. |
| 59 | * Nested properties (and collapse all and expand all) for better |
| 60 | categorization. For example, layout params are listed first as a |
| 61 | single nested property. |
| 62 | * Tooltips over the attribute names, not values, so they never |
| 63 | obscure the value column. |
| 64 | * Checkbox support for boolean values. |
| 65 | * Support for switching between alphabetical and natural sort |
| 66 | orders. |
| 67 | * New window management. The propertysheet is now automatically |
| 68 | docked into the Outline view, and the outline can appear in a |
| 69 | maximized editor. The structure and palette views can be minimized |
| 70 | and appear temporarily on flyover. |
| 71 | * New configuration chooser above the layout editor, which in |
| 72 | addition to a visual refresh offers an activity chooser, a nested |
| 73 | theme chooser, a single button to flip orientation, better |
| 74 | wrapping behavior, etc. |
| 75 | * SDK Manager: |
| 76 | * Cache to avoid downloading repository definitions all the time. |
| 77 | * New "Tools > Manage Add-on Sites" option that allows deactivating |
| 78 | 3rd party sites (e.g. if one or more are temporarily slow to |
| 79 | load.) |
| 80 | * NDK integration (alpha): |
| 81 | * Initial support for building and debugging projects with C/C++ |
| 82 | code. |
| 83 | * To enable this, install the NDK feature (depends on CDT), and then |
| 84 | set the path to NDK in Android Preferences. |
| 85 | * Add NDK nature to an Android project by right clicking on the |
| 86 | project and select "Android Tools -> Add Native Support". |
| 87 | * To debug an NDK project, just right click and select "Debug As |
| 88 | Android Native Application". |
| 89 | * Execution |
| 90 | * LogCat: Allow users to set colors for different priorities |
| 91 | * LogCat: Ctrl + F now brings up a Find dialog to find items (rather |
| 92 | than filter) |
| 93 | * Allow running on multiple devices with a single launch. The target |
| 94 | tab in the launch configuration dialog adds a new option which |
| 95 | allows launching on all connected devices, and a drop down allows |
| 96 | the user to further narrow down the list to just physical devices |
| 97 | or just emulators. (This applies only to Run configurations, not |
| 98 | to Debug/JUnit tests.) |
| 99 | * XML Editing |
| 100 | * Code completion support for custom attributes on custom views. |
| 101 | * Go to Declaration now works for theme references (?android:attr, |
| 102 | ?attr: etc,) |
| 103 | * Completion of the minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion attributes in |
| 104 | manifest files now include version descriptions for each of the |
| 105 | API levels |
| 106 | * Support XML editor outlines for layout files. Switching back and |
| 107 | forth between the text editor and graphical editor will alternate |
| 108 | between the two outlines, and in particular the XML editor outline |
| 109 | will keep up to date with edits in the editor, and selection will |
| 110 | follow the mouse cursor etc. |
| 111 | * The Asset Studio Wizard now supports padding and disabling |
| 112 | background shapes |

| 114 | 19.0.0 (does not exist) |
| Xavier Ducrohet | 0dd4051 | 2012-03-29 12:11:54 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 115 | |
| 116 | 18.0.0 |
| 117 | * Fix bug 27940 where exporting release package doesn't recompile libraries |
| 118 | in release mode. |
| 119 | |
| Tor Norbye | 310538c | 2012-01-13 08:56:18 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 120 | 17.0.0: |
| 121 | * ADT 17 requires Java 6 and Eclipse 3.6.2. |
| 122 | * Improved Lint UI. |
| 123 | * Many new lint checks: See the tools changes.txt for details. |
| 124 | * New "Run Lint" toolbar action with a dropdown menu for selecting |
| 125 | specific (or all) projects, clearing results, etc. |
| 126 | * The results window is now organized as a tree rather than a flat |
| 127 | list. Each issue type has a single top level item, which makes it |
| 128 | easier to quickly scan through the reported issues and narrow |
| 129 | down to issues you are most interested in. |
| 130 | * The results window contains many new toolbar actions, including |
| 131 | expand/collapse, ignore in file, ignore in project, ignore |
| 132 | everywhere, show options, and configure columns. |
| 133 | * There are new columns available, such as category, priority, |
| 134 | project, file and line. The column selection (as well as the |
| 135 | column sizes) are persisted. You can click on columns to sort by |
| 136 | that column. |
| 137 | * The Lint Options dialog has Enable All and Disable All buttons, |
| 138 | and a search filter textbox to filter by issue id, summary and |
| 139 | severity. |
| 140 | * New Quick Outline for XML editors (Ctrl-O, Command-O). This shows |
| 141 | the structure of the current file including icons and ids, and lets |
| 142 | you filter and quickly jump to specific ids. |
| 143 | * The resource chooser now shows the resolved value for resources |
| 144 | (e.g. when selecting @string/hello it displays that the resolved value |
| 145 | is "Hello World"). It also allows editing the chosen value directly. |
| 146 | * The layout editor no longer assigns default ids to layouts, includes |
| 147 | and merge tags. This tended to pollute the namespace with a lot of |
| 148 | unused resources since layouts aren't usually manipulated via code, |
| 149 | or referenced from XML. (The RelativeLayout editor automatically |
| 150 | assigns ids to views without ids when pointing to them.) |
| Tor Norbye | 5ae5ceb | 2012-02-15 12:39:14 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 151 | * Export Screenshot from the Layout Editor |
| Tor Norbye | 310538c | 2012-01-13 08:56:18 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 152 | * Layout editor fix for SlidingDrawer which on some platforms could |
| 153 | not be dragged into the layout. Also fix preview rendering for |
| 154 | SlidingDrawer and TabHost (issue 23022). |
| 155 | * New default application icons, including an xhdpi version. |
| 156 | * Important bug fixes: |
| 157 | * Fix bug in resource chooser which made some types of framework |
| 158 | resources impossible to select (issue 20589) |
| 159 | * Fix a bug in the formatter where a certain whitespace pattern |
| 160 | could result in a non-space character getting deleted (issue |
| 161 | 23940) |
| 162 | * Fix locale bug affecting Turkish locales in particular (issue |
| 163 | 23747) |
| 164 | |
| Tor Norbye | a79073e | 2011-10-20 18:33:24 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 165 | 16.0.0: |
| 166 | * New "lint" feature which scans the Android projects for potential |
| 167 | problems such as missing translations, duplicate ids between layouts |
| 168 | that include each other, using px instead of dp units, hardcoded |
| 169 | strings, missing contentDescriptions, obsolete Proguard |
| 170 | configuration files, etc. Lint can be run on the command line, but |
| 171 | it is also integrated into the Problems view in Eclipse, and there |
| 172 | are also quickfixes available for many of the reported errors. |
| 173 | |
| 174 | 15.0.0 |
| 175 | Critical bug fixes only. |
| 176 | |
| 177 | 14.0.0 |
| Xavier Ducrohet | babf25c | 2011-02-14 15:52:12 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 178 | - Build system: |
| Tor Norbye | f0585b9 | 2011-08-19 19:00:45 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 179 | - (TODO: More info) Improved library projects |
| 180 | - Improved incremental builds |
| 181 | - Resource compilation is run much less frequently. It is no |
| 182 | longer run when strings are edited, or when layouts are edited |
| 183 | (unless a new id is introduced), and it is no longer run once |
| 184 | per library project (!) |
| 185 | - Resource compilation is no longer done for normal save |
| 186 | operations, only when running or debugging (option added in ADT |
| 187 | 12 now on by default.) |
| 188 | - There is a new "PNG crunch cache", which means image crunching |
| 189 | is only done once, not once per build which is significant for |
| 190 | projects with many resources |
| 191 | - Incremental ant builds |
| Xavier Ducrohet | babf25c | 2011-02-14 15:52:12 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 192 | - ADT now uses bin/classes to output the java compilation |
| 193 | and bin/ for Android specific classes. This will make bin show up |
| 194 | in the package explorer. |
| Tor Norbye | f0585b9 | 2011-08-19 19:00:45 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 195 | - DDMS |
| 196 | - Brand new logcat view. Fixes bugs, displays and filters by |
| 197 | application names instead of just pids, fronts when application |
| 198 | runs. |
| 199 | - XML Editing |
| 200 | - New XML formatter which formats all XML files according to the |
| 201 | standard Android coding style. The formatter can also reorder |
| 202 | attributes to follow the recommended order. |
| 203 | - Improved "smart indent": automatic indentation and un-indentation |
| 204 | when pressing Return in XML editors |
| 205 | - Go to Matching (Ctrl-Shift-P) in XML files can now jump between |
| 206 | opening and closing tags |
| 207 | - Changes made by the layout editor are automatically run through |
| 208 | the new XML formatter. |
| 209 | - Select Enclosing Element should now work on the Mac as well. |
| 210 | - Java Editing |
| 211 | - Quickfix for extracting Strings when the caret is inside a String |
| 212 | - Layout Editor |
| 213 | - New GridLayout support |
| 214 | - Tooltip feedback for resizing and dragging operations. For |
| 215 | example, when dragging in a relative layout, the proposed |
| 216 | constraints are shown, and when resizing the new dimensions are |
| 217 | shown. |
| 218 | - New "Remove Container" visual refactoring which removes the |
| 219 | children of a container up to the top level and transfers |
| 220 | namespace and layout attributes if necessary. |
| 221 | - Improved access to properties in the context menu: The most |
| 222 | frequently set attributes for each view are listed at the top of |
| 223 | the menu, and the properties menu offers access to the most |
| 224 | recently set attributes, attributes organized by their defining |
| 225 | view, and layout attributes only or all attributes alphabetically. |
| 226 | - The context menu now also contains pull-right menus for accessing |
| 227 | properties of the parents, which is useful when the children fully |
| 228 | cover the parent making it hard to select on its own. |
| 229 | - Ability to suppress rendering fidelity warnings. |
| 230 | - Asset Studio integration: Wizard creation of launcher icons, menu |
| 231 | icons, tab icons, etc. |
| Tor Norbye | e92f816 | 2011-09-27 08:59:15 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 232 | - New Welcome Wizard to help installing and configuring the SDK |
| 233 | platforms. |
| Tor Norbye | 4dfe571 | 2011-09-13 14:35:48 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 234 | - The New Project and the New XML File wizards have been reworked into |
| 235 | multiple pages. Sample Projects are now copied into the workspace |
| 236 | such that they can be modified and deleted without affecting the |
| 237 | master copy. |
| 238 | - The dependency on Eclipse GEF was removed. |
| 239 | - Many bug fixes, and in particular some critical bug fixes on Linux |
| Xavier Ducrohet | babf25c | 2011-02-14 15:52:12 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 240 | |
| Tor Norbye | f0585b9 | 2011-08-19 19:00:45 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 241 | 13.0.0 |
| 242 | - Tools release only (command line tools) |
| 243 | |
| 244 | 12.0.0 (July 6th, 2011) |
| Tor Norbye | 61be14c | 2011-06-13 13:22:32 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 245 | - Many bug fixes! |
| 246 | - Visual Layout Editor: |
| 247 | - New RelativeLayout drop support with guideline suggestions for |
| 248 | attachments and cycle prevention. |
| 249 | - Resize support in most layouts. In LinearLayout, sizes are mapped |
| 250 | to weights. Guideline snapping to wrap_content and match_parent. |
| 251 | - Previews of drawables and colors in the resource chooser dialogs. |
| 252 | - Improved error messages and links for rendering errors, including |
| 253 | detection of misspellings of class names. |
| 254 | - Build system: Delay post compiler phase until actual export or debug |
| 255 | to speed up interactive file saves. (This is off by default but can |
| 256 | be enabled in the ADT options panel.) |
| Xavier Ducrohet | 69a8290 | 2011-06-06 16:45:50 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 257 | |
| Tor Norbye | f0585b9 | 2011-08-19 19:00:45 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 258 | 11.0.0 (June 6th, 2011) |
| Tor Norbye | 3dcfd76 | 2011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 259 | - Visual Refactoring: |
| 260 | - The new "Extract Style" refactoring pulls out style constants and |
| Tor Norbye | e177715 | 2011-05-25 15:50:53 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 261 | defines them as style rules instead. |
| Tor Norbye | 3dcfd76 | 2011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 262 | - The new "Wrap in Container" refactoring surrounds the selected |
| 263 | views with a new layout, and transfers namespace and layout |
| 264 | parameters to the new parent |
| 265 | - The new "Change Widget Type" refactoring changes the type of the |
| 266 | selected views to a new type. (Also, a new selection context menu |
| 267 | in the visual layout editor makes it easy to select siblings as |
| 268 | well as views anywhere in the layout that have the same type). |
| 269 | - The new "Change Layout" refactoring changes layouts from one type |
| 270 | to another, and can also flatten a layout hierarchy. |
| 271 | - The "Extract as Include" refactoring now finds identical fragments |
| 272 | in other layouts and offers to combine all into a single include. |
| 273 | - There is a new Refactoring Quick Assistant which can be invoked |
| 274 | from the XML editor (with Ctrl-1) to apply any of the above |
| 275 | refactorings (and Extract String) to the current selection. |
| 276 | - Visual Layout Editor: |
| 277 | - Improved "rendering fidelity": The layout preview has been |
| 278 | improved and should more closely match the rendering on actual |
| 279 | devices. |
| 280 | - The visual editor now previews ListViews at designtime. By |
| 281 | default, a two-line list item is shown, but with a context menu |
| 282 | you can pick any arbitrary layout to be used for the list items, |
| 283 | and you can also pick the header and footer layouts. |
| 284 | - The palette now supports "configurations" where a single view is |
| 285 | presented in various different configurations. For example, there |
| 286 | is a whole "Textfields" palette category where the EditText view |
| 287 | can be dragged in as a password field, an e-mail field, a phone |
| 288 | field, and so on. Similarly, TextViews are offered preconfigured |
| 289 | with large, normal and small theme sizes, and LinearLayouts are |
| 290 | offered both in horizontal and vertical configurations. |
| 291 | - The palette supports custom views, picking up any custom |
| 292 | implementations of the View class in your project source folders |
| 293 | or in included libraries, and these can be dragged into layouts. |
| Tor Norbye | fb48dde | 2011-05-19 13:52:31 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 294 | - Fragments support: Fragments are available in the palette, and in |
| 295 | the tool you can choose which layout to show rendered for a given |
| 296 | fragment tag. Go to declaration works for fragment classes. |
| Tor Norbye | 3dcfd76 | 2011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 297 | - The layout editor automatically applies a "zoom to fit" for newly |
| 298 | opened files as well as on device size and orientation changes to |
| 299 | ensure that large layouts are always fully visible unless you |
| 300 | manually zoom in. |
| 301 | - You can drop an "include" tag from the palette, which will pop up |
| 302 | a layout chooser, and the chosen layout is added as an include. |
| 303 | Similarly, dropping images or image buttons will pop up image |
| 304 | resource choosers to initialize the new image with. |
| 305 | - The configuration chooser now applies the "Render Target" and |
| 306 | "Locale" settings project wide, making it trivial to check the |
| 307 | layouts for different languages or render targets without having |
| 308 | to configure these individually for each layout. |
| 309 | - The layout editor is smarter about picking a default theme to |
| 310 | render a layout with, consulting factors like theme registrations |
| 311 | in the manifest, the SDK version, etc. |
| Tor Norbye | fb48dde | 2011-05-19 13:52:31 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 312 | - The layout editor is also smarter about picking a default |
| 313 | configuration to render a layout with, defaulting to the currently |
| 314 | visible configuration in the previous file. It also considers the |
| 315 | SDK target to determine whether to default to a tablet or phone |
| 316 | screen size. |
| 317 | - Basic focus support: The first text field dropped in a layout is |
| 318 | assigned focus, and there are "Request Focus" and "Clear Focus" |
| 319 | context menu items on text fields to change the focus. |
| Tor Norbye | 3dcfd76 | 2011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 320 | - XML editors: |
| 321 | - Code completion has been significantly improved. It now works |
| 322 | within <style> elements, it completes dimensional units, |
| 323 | it sorts resource paths in values based on the attribute name, |
| 324 | etc. There are also many fixes to handle text replacement. |
| 325 | - AAPT errors are handled better. They are now underlined for the |
| 326 | relevant range in the editor, and a new quickfix makes it trivial |
| 327 | to create missing resources. |
| 328 | - Code completion for drawable, animation and color XML files. |
| 329 | - DDMS: |
| 330 | - "New Folder" action in the File Explorer |
| 331 | - The screenshot dialog will add timestamps to the filenames, and |
| 332 | preserve the orientation on snapshot refresh |
| 333 | - TraceView: Mouse-wheel zoom support in the timeline |
| 334 | - The New Android Project wizard now supports Eclipse working sets |
| 335 | - Most of the tools have improved integration with the Mac OSX |
| 336 | system menu bar. |
| 337 | - Most of the tools have new launcher icons. |
| 338 | |
| Tor Norbye | f0585b9 | 2011-08-19 19:00:45 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 339 | 10.0.1 (March, 2011) |
| Tor Norbye | 3301b68 | 2011-04-05 08:59:12 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 340 | - Temporary work-around to resolve the rare cases in which the layout |
| 341 | editor will not open. |
| 342 | - Fix issue in which ADT 10.0.0 would install on Eclipse 3.4 and |
| 343 | lower, even though ADT requires Eclipse 3.5 or higher (as of |
| 344 | 10.0.0). |
| 345 | |
| Tor Norbye | f0585b9 | 2011-08-19 19:00:45 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 346 | 10.0.0 (February 22nd, 2011) |
| Tor Norbye | 3301b68 | 2011-04-05 08:59:12 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 347 | - The tools now automatically generate Java Programming Language |
| 348 | source files (in the gen/ directory) and bytecode (in the res/raw/ |
| 349 | directory) from your .rs files. |
| 350 | - A Binary XML editor has been added. |
| 351 | - Traceview is now integrated into the Eclipse UI. |
| 352 | - The "Go To Declaration" feature for XML and .java files quickly show |
| 353 | all the matches in the project and allows you jump to specific items |
| 354 | such as string translations or onClick handlers. |
| 355 | - The Resource Chooser can create items such as dimensions, integers, |
| 356 | ids, and booleans. |
| 357 | - Improvements to the Visual Layout Editor: |
| 358 | - A new Palette with categories and rendering previews. |
| 359 | - A Layout Actions bar that provides quick access to common layout |
| 360 | operations. |
| 361 | - When the Android 3.0 rendering library is selected, layouts render |

| 634 | editable. This is to replace the current locking mechanism which |
| 635 | causes issues on Mac OS. |
| 636 | - Fixed some issue in the "Restart adb" feature in the device view of |
| 637 | ddms. |
| 638 | - Better handling of aidl files and the java files generated from |

| 640 | - Plugin now retries to launch the app on the emulator if it fails due |
| 641 | to timing issues. |
| 642 | - Skin dropdown in the Emulator/Target tabs is now build from the |
| 643 | content of the skin directory, to support developer made skins. |

| 661 | does not match the sdk build id. |
| 662 | - Java/Debug/ddms perspective now contains direct menus to open some |
| 663 | of the ddms views, and to create a new android project. This will |
| 664 | require you to reset your perspectives. |
| 665 | - Error during builds now put an error marker on the project instead |
| 666 | of displaying an (annoying) dialog box. |
| 667 | - Custom builders now remember their build state when restarting |

| 688 | Configuration. |
| 689 | - Support for external jars that are not under the project root |
| 690 | directory. |

| 707 | restart Eclipse anymore. |
| 708 | - New SDK-Project sync mode in Android preference pane. Default value |
| 709 | set to true. If true, all android projects are automatically sync'ed |
| 710 | to the SDK defined in the preferences. |
| 711 | - Cases where no emulator is running but a dialog still says "An |
| 712 | emulator is running..." should be less frequent. |
| 713 | - Projects do not reference the standard desktop JRE anymore, as |
| 714 | android.zip contains the core java library. This will solve the case |
| 715 | where using a core class non present on the platform would not |
| 716 | generate a compilation error. |
| 717 | - Changing the package defined in the manifest now deletes the R.java |
| 718 | class from its previous location. This will require 1 build after |
| 719 | upgrading the plugin, before it works. |
| 720 | - Project selection in the Launch Config Dialog now only shows Android |
| 721 | projects. |
| 722 | - Launching a debug/run session now checks that the project uses the |
| 723 | SDK set in the preferences (This is for the non automatic sync |
| 724 | mode). |

| 747 | automatically include them in the final APK. Warning: only the |
| 748 | .class content is included. |

| 753 | ensuring R.java and packaged resources are always up to date. This |
| 754 | can be disabled in the preferences under "Android" if this becomes |
| 755 | slow due to too many files. |

| Tor Norbye | 9f321db | 2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 759 | - New Action in the "Processes" view to debug an application that is |
| 760 | already running. The source project for this application MUST be |
| 761 | opened in the current workspace. |
| 762 | - Building the project now force refreshes the res folder. This should |
| 763 | help rebuilding the resources when only binary files were changed |
| 764 | from outside eclipse. |
| 765 | - Clean/full builds now compile all aidl files found in the build path |
| 766 | (previously only incremental builds would compile them). Also, misc |
| 767 | improvements to the incremental builders. |
| 768 | - Starting a run/debug session now asks to save the files and forces a |
| 769 | new build to ensure that the latest package is pushed on the device. |
| 770 | - Plugin should be less aggressive when waiting for the emulator to be |
| 771 | ready. This should translate in fewer failed launches. |

| 786 | |
| Tor Norbye | 9f321db | 2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 787 | - New "Android" Console. It receives the error output from external |
| 788 | tools such and aidl, dx, and aapt (only when they can't be |
| 789 | parsed). Any error force the console to be displayed. |
| 790 | - The Activity Manager on the device/emulator now outputs some |
| 791 | messages in the "Android" console when asked to start an |
| 792 | activity. This should help you figure out what is wrong if the |
| 793 | application doesn't start. |
| 794 | - Fixed a case where the .apk file would be updated with broken |
| 795 | code. Now if there are java compile error, the .apk is not touched. |

| 797 | name, yet not starting with a dot. |
| 798 | - Fixed creation of manifest files (through New Project wizard) to use |
