| <p>SDK Tools is a downloadable component for the Android SDK. It includes the |
| complete set of development and debugging tools for the Android SDK.</p> |
| |
| <p>If you are new to the Android SDK, the <a |
| href="{@docRoot}sdk/index.html">SDK starter package</a> installs the |
| latest revision of the SDK Tools in the <code><sdk>/tools</code> directory.</p> |
| |
| <p>If you are already using the SDK and you want to update to the latest version |
| of the SDK Tools, use the <em>Android SDK Manager</em> to get the |
| update, rather than downloading a new SDK starter package. For more information |
| about how to update, see <a |
| href="{@docRoot}sdk/exploring.html#UpdatingComponents">Exploring the SDK</a>.</p> |
| |
| |
| <h2 id="notes">Revisions</h2> |
| |
| <p>The sections below provide notes about successive releases of |
| the SDK Tools, as denoted by revision number. To determine what revision of the SDK |
| Tools you are using, refer to the "Installed Packages" listing in the Android SDK Manager. </p> |
| |

| <ul> |
| <li>Build |
| <ul> |
| <li>Updated build to detect and handle package name conflicts between an application and |
| the libraries it depends on. Libraries cannot share package names unless all of them |
| share the same package name. |
| (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40152">Issue 40152</a>, |
| <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40273">Issue 40273</a>) |
| </li> |
| <li>Added a flag to disable dex merging to deal with cases where merging could generate |
| a broken dex file. If this happens to your project, add the following setting to your |
| {@code project.properties} file: {@code dex.disable.merger=true} This setting |
| causes the build system to revert to the older, slower dex processing that does not |
| pre-dex libraries.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Renderscript |
| <ul> |
| <li>Added support for |
| <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/renderscript/compute.html#filterscript">Filterscript</a> |
| compilation.</li> |
| <li>Added new project setting to control the Renderscript compilation target separately |
| from an Android project. Adding the following line to a {@code project.properties} |
| file causes Renderscript code to be compiled for Android API Level 17, while the |
| containing application can target a different (lower) API level: |
| <pre>renderscript.target = 17</pre> |
| Previously, the Renderscript compilation target was tied to the |
| {@code android:minSdkVersion} setting in the manifest. |

| <ul> |
| <li>Build System |
| <ul> |
| <li>Added a flag that sets <em>jumbo mode</em> for DEX files, which allows a larger |
| number of strings in the DEX files. Enable this mode by adding the following line to |
| the {@code project.properties} file of your project: |
| <pre>set dex.force.jumbo=true</pre></li> |
| <li>Improved the build time by pre-dexing libraries (both JAR files and library |
| projects).</li> |
| <li>Updated the build to generate {@code R} resource classes for library projects |
| with only the IDs needed by the libraries, reducing the risk of hitting DEX file |
| limits for fields and methods.</li> |
| <li>Improved the build so that several editing features (code completion, resource |
| chooser, go to declaration) properly handle library project resources.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Lint |
| <ul> |
| <li>Added over 25 new lint rules for resources, locale settings, layout |
| files, incorrect use of {@link android.util.SparseArray} and |
| {@link android.os.PowerManager.WakeLock} and manifest issues.</li> |
| <li>Updated reporting to include errors in library projects if the library project is |
| in the list of projects to be checked.</li> |
| <li>Added a new {@code lint} target to the Ant build system for easier |
| integration with continuous build systems.</li> |
| <li>Added new {@code --sources} and {@code --classpath} arguments to point to sources |
| with different directory structures.</li> |
| <li>Improved the XML export function to support the <a |
| href="https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Android+Lint+Plugin">Jenkins Lint |
| plugin</a>. |
| </li> |
| <li>Added support for class file flow analysis.</li> |

| <li>Android Virtual Devices (AVD) |
| <ul> |
| <li>Added new <strong>Device Definitions</strong> tab in the AVD Manager for configuring |
| standard size and Nexus virtual devices.</li> |
| <li>Improved emulators so that they launch with a skin that is dynamically generated and |
| reflects the actual hardware configured in the AVD Manager.</li> |
| <li>Improved support for developing Android apps on MIPS-based devices with new MIPS |
| System Images for Android Virtual Devices.</li> |
| </ul> |

| the build system to generate a temporary ProGuard {@code keep-rules} file containing classes that |
| are referenced from XML files (such as custom views) and pass this to ProGuard at shrink time. This |
| can make the resulting APK much smaller when using just a small portion of a large library project |
| (such as the Android Support library), since the catch-all rules to keep all custom views from the |
| default ProGuard configuration file have also been removed.</li> |

| <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Use the Android SDK Manager to download and |
| install x86 system images. Android x86 system images are not available for all API levels.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li>Added experimental support for multi-touch input by enabing the emulator to receive |
| touch input from a USB-tethered physical Android device. |
| (<a href="http://tools.android.com/tips/hardware-emulation">more info</a>)</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Added viewing of live detailed network usage of an app in DDMS. (<a |
| href="http://tools.android.com/recent/detailednetworkusageinddms">more info</a>)</li> |
| <li>ProGuard |
| <ul> |
| <li>Updated the bundled ProGuard tool to version 4.7. In addition to many new features, |
| this update fixes the {@code Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1} error some users have |
| experienced.</li> |
| <li>Updated the default {@code proguard.cfg} file with better default flags for |
| Android.</li> |
| <li>Split the ProGuard configuration file has been in half, with project specific flags |
| kept in project and the generic Android flags distributed (and updated) with the tools |
| themselves.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Build |
| <ul> |
| <li>Added a feature that allows you to run some code only in debug mode. Builds now |
| generate a class called {@code BuildConfig} containing a {@code DEBUG} constant that is |
| automatically set according to your build type. You can check the ({@code BuildConfig.DEBUG}) |
| constant in your code to run debug-only functions.</li> |
| <li>Fixed issue when a project and its libraries include the same jar file in their libs |
| folder. (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/dealingwithdependenciesinandroidprojects">more |
| info</a>)</li> |
| <li>Added support for custom views with custom attributes in libraries. Layouts using |
| custom attributes must use the namespace URI {@code http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto} instead |
| of the URI that includes the app package name. This URI is replaced with the app specific one at |
| build time.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Lint |

| <li>Updated Lint to check Android application code. Lint rules which previously |
| performed pattern based searches in the application code (such as the unused resource check) have |
| been rewritten to use the more accurate Java-style parse trees.</li> |
| <li>Added support for checking library projects. This change means that rules such as |
| the unused resource check properly handle resources declared in a library project and referenced in |
| a downstream project.</li> |

| <li>Early look at the new snapshot feature: To improve startup time for the emulator, you can |

| <dd> |
| <ul> |
| <li>All SDK platforms now support Library Projects.</li> |
| <li>Support for a true debug build. Developers no longer need to add the |
| <code>android:debuggable</code> attribute to the |
| <code><application></code> tag in the manifest — the build tools add |
| the attribute automatically. In Eclipse/ADT, all incremental builds are assumed |
| to be debug builds, so the tools insert <code>android:debuggable="true"</code>. |
| When exporting a signed release build, the tools do not add the attribute. In |
| Ant, a <code>ant debug</code> command automatically inserts the |
| <code>android:debuggable="true"</code> attribute, while <code>ant release</code> |
| does not. If <code>android:debuggable="true"</code> is manually set, then |
| <code>ant release</code> will actually do a debug build, rather than a release |
| build.</li> |
| <li>Automatic ProGuard support in release builds. Developers generate a ProGuard |
| configuration file using the <code>android</code> tool — the build tools |
| then automatically run ProGuard against the project sources during the build. |
| For more information, see the <a |
| href="{@docRoot}tools/help/proguard.html">ProGuard</a> |
| documentation. </li> |
| <li>New overridable Ant javac properties: <code>java.encoding</code>, |
