| <h2 id="dev-features">Developer Features</h2> |
| |
| <p>The sections below provide information about new developer features offered by the downloadable Android 2.0 platform component.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="ant">Ant Support</h3> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Debug- and release-mode application signing. Release-mode signing includes integrated support for <code>zipalign</code> optimization. For more information, see <a href="{@docRoot}guide/publishing/app-signing.html#releasecompile">Signing Your Applications</a>.</li> |
| |
| <li>Adds new Ant build system with support for Emma instrumentation projects (code coverage).</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2 id="api">Framework API</h2> |
| |
| <p>The sections below provide information about changes made to the application |
| framework API provided by the Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} platform. Note, |
| however, that Android 2.0.1 is a minor release to Android 2.0, so for more |
| information about the changes made to in Android 2.0, please refer to the |
| <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/android-2.0.html#api">Android 2.0 version notes</a>.</p> |
| |
| |
| <h3 id="api-level">API level</h3> |
| |
| <p>The Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} platform delivers an updated version of the framework |
| API. The Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} API |
| is assigned an integer identifier — <strong>{@sdkPlatformApiLevel}</strong> — that is |
| stored in the system itself. This identifier, called the "API Level", allows the |
| system to correctly determine whether an application is compatible with |
| the system, prior to installing the application. </p> |
| |
| <p>To use APIs introduced in Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} in your application, you need to |
| set the proper value, "{@sdkPlatformApiLevel}", in the attributes of the <code><uses-sdk></code> |
| element in your application's manifest. </p> |
| |
| <p>For more information about how to use API Level, see the <a |
| href="{@docRoot}guide/appendix/api-levels.html">API Levels</a> document. </p> |
| |
| |
| <h3 id="api-changes">API changes summary</h3> |
| |
| <p>The following is a summary of changes to the framework APIs.</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>New {@code quickContactBadgeStyle*} attributes that let |
| applications apply necessary styles to the {@link |
| android.widget.QuickContactBadge} widget.</li> |
| |
| <li>Remove support for the {@link |
| android.content.Intent#ACTION_CONFIGURATION_CHANGED} broadcast when declared as |
| a filter in the manifest. To receive this broadcast, an application must |
| do so from the application at run-time, with {@link |
| android.content.Context#registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver, IntentFilter)}.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h3 id="behavior-changes">Behavior changes</h3> |
| |
| <p>The following is a summary of changes that affect the behavior of some |
| framework APIs but do not add or remove API functionality.</p> |
| |
| <h4>Bluetooth</h4> |
| |
| <p>Changes to the values returned by {@link |
| android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter#ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE} and |
| {@link android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter#ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE}:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>{@link android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter#ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE} now |
| returns {@link android.app.Activity#RESULT_OK} if Bluetooth was successfully |
| enabled and {@link android.app.Activity#RESULT_CANCELED} if the user rejected |
| the request to enable Bluetooth, rather than 0 and -1 (or -2), |
| respectively.</li> |
| |
| <li>{@link android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter#ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE} |
| now returns {@link android.app.Activity#RESULT_CANCELED} if the user rejected |
| the request to enable discoverability or if Bluetooth is not enabled, rather |
| than -1 and -2, respectively.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h4>Contacts</h4> |
| |
| <p>The {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_INSERT} Intent now returns {@link |
| android.app.Activity#RESULT_CANCELED} in cases where the contact was not |
| persisted (for example, if the save was trimmed to a no-op).</p> |
| |
| |
| <h3 id="bug-fixes">Bug fixes</h3> |
| |
| <p>The following is a summary of bug fixes that affect some framework APIs.</p> |
| |
| <h4>Resources</h4> |
| |
| <p>The framework now correctly selects application resources in project |
| folders that use the API Level qualifier. For example, {@code drawable-v4/} is a |
| folder of drawable resources for API Level 4 (or higher) devices. This version |
| matching did not work properly and has been fixed.</p> |
| |
| <h4>Contacts</h4> |
| |
| <p>The {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_INSERT} Intent now returns the |
| appropriate kind of URI when the request is made using the (now |
| deprecated) {@link android.provider.Contacts} APIs.</p> |
| |
| <h4>Other Framework fixes</h4> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>{@link android.app.Activity#getCallingPackage()} now properly reports the |
| package name, rather than the process name.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| |
| <h3 id="api-diff">API differences report</h3> |
| |
| <p>For a detailed view of API changes in Android {@sdkPlatformVersion} (API Level {@sdkPlatformApiLevel}), as compared to |
| API Level 5, see the <a |
| href="{@docRoot}sdk/api_diff/{@sdkPlatformApiLevel}/changes.html">API |
| Differences Report</a>. There are very few API changes in API Level 6, |
| so you might also be interested in reviewing the <a |
| href="{@docRoot}sdk/api_diff/5/changes.html">API |
| differences between 4 and 5</a>.</p> |
