| 130 | <dt>General improvements:</dt> |
| 131 | <dd> |
| 132 | <ul> |
| 133 | <li>New build features |
| 134 | <ul> |
| 135 | <li>Added feature to automatically setup JAR dependencies. Any {@code .jar} files in the |
| 136 | {@code /libs} folder are added to the build configuration (similar to how the Ant build |
| 137 | system works). Also, {@code .jar} files needed by library projects are also automatically |
Joe Fernandez | 1e72b34 | 2012-03-21 16:25:21 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 138 | added to projects that depend on those library projects. |
| 139 | (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/dealingwithdependenciesinandroidprojects">more |
| 140 | info</a>)</li> |
Joe Fernandez | dad557e | 2012-03-16 01:17:58 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 141 | <li>Added a feature that allows you to run some code only in debug mode. Builds now |
| 142 | generate a class called {@code BuildConfig} containing a {@code DEBUG} constant that is |
| 143 | automatically set according to your build type. You can check the ({@code BuildConfig.DEBUG}) |
| 144 | constant in your code to run debug-only functions.</li> |
| 145 | <li>Added support for custom views with custom attributes in libraries. Layouts using |
| 146 | custom attributes must use the namespace URI {@code http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto} instead |
| 147 | of the URI that includes the app package name. This URI is replaced with the app specific one at |
| 148 | build time.</li> |
| 149 | </ul> |
| 150 | </li> |
| 151 | <li>Improved Lint features. See the <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/tools-notes.html">SDK Tools r17</a> |
| 152 | release notes.</li> |
| 153 | <li>Improved the Lint user interface |
| 154 | <ul> |
| 155 | <li>Added <strong>Run Lint</strong> toolbar action with a dropdown menu for selecting |
| 156 | specific (or all) projects, clearing results and other actions.</li> |
| 157 | <li>Updated the results window to be organized as a tree rather than a flat list. Each |
| 158 | issue type has a single top level item, which makes it easier to quickly scan through the reported |
| 159 | issues and narrow down to the issues you are most interested in.</li> |
| 160 | <li>Added many new toolbar actions to the results window, including expand/collapse, |
| 161 | ignore in file, ignore in project, ignore everywhere, show options, and configure columns.</li> |
| 162 | <li>Added new column options for the <strong>Lint Warnings</strong> tab, such as |
| 163 | category, priority, project, file and line. The column selection (as well as the column sizes) are |
| 164 | persisted. You can also click on columns to sort by those values.</li> |
| 165 | <li>Added Enable All and Disable All buttons to the Lint Options dialog, and a search |
| 166 | filter textbox to filter by issue id, summary and severity.</li> |
| 167 | </ul> |
| 168 | </li> |
| 169 | <li>Added Quick Outline for XML editors (Ctrl-O, Command-O). This feature shows the structure |
| 170 | of the current file including icons and ids, lets you filter and quickly jump to specific ids.</li> |
| 171 | <li>Updated the resource chooser to shows the resolved value for resources. For example, |
| 172 | when selecting {@code @string/hello} the chooser displays a resolved value such as "Hello World"). |
| 173 | The resource chooser also now allows you to edit the chosen value directly.</li> |
| 174 | <li>Updated Layout Editor so that it does not assign default ids to layouts, includes and |
| 175 | merge tags. This behavior tended to pollute the namespace with a lot of unused resources since |
| 176 | layouts are not usually manipulated via code, or referenced from XML. (The RelativeLayout editor |
| 177 | automatically assigns ids to views without ids when pointing to them.)</li> |
| 178 | <li>Added ability to export screenshots from the Layout Editor</li> |
| 179 | </ul> |
| 180 | </dd> |
| 181 | |
| 182 | <dt>Bug fixes:</dt> |
| 183 | <dd> |
| 184 | <ul> |
| 185 | <li>Fixed problem using Layout Editor with {@link android.widget.SlidingDrawer} which could |
| 186 | not be dragged into the layout on some platforms.</li> |
| 187 | <li>Fixed preview rendering for {@link android.widget.SlidingDrawer} and |
| 188 | {@link android.widget.TabHost}. |
| 189 | (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23022">Issue 23022</a>).</li> |

| 194 | select. (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=20589">Issue 20589</a>)</li> |
| 195 | <li>Fixed a bug in the formatter where a certain whitespace pattern could result in a |
| 196 | non-space character getting deleted. |
| 197 | (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23940">Issue 23940</a>)</li> |

| 199 | (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23747">Issue 23747</a>)</li> |
| 200 | <li>Fixed issue where dex complains about duplicate classes in cases where a Library |
| 201 | Project depends on the same jar files or Java-only projects.</li> |
| 202 | <li>Fixed issue where test projects had to independently reference the library projects used |
| 203 | by an app project. Now referencing only the app project is enough.</li> |

| 362 | <li>Changed output of <code>javac</code> from <code>bin/</code> to <code>bin/classes</code> |

| 364 | <li>Improved incremental builds so that resource compilation runs less frequently. Builds no |

| 432 | <li>Added "Remove Container" visual refactoring that removes the |

| 434 | namespace and layout attributes if necessary (<a |

| 439 | <li>Improved access to properties in the context menu. The most |
| 440 | frequently set attributes for each view are listed at the top of |
| 441 | the menu. The Properties menu offers access to the most |

| 532 | <li>"Wrap in Container" feature lets you select a group of views then surround them |

| 540 | info</a>).</li> |
| 541 | <li>"Change Widget Type" feature changes the type of the |
| 542 | selected views to a new type. Also, a new selection context menu |
| 543 | in the visual layout editor makes it easy to select siblings as |
| 544 | well as views anywhere in the layout that have the same type (<a |
| 545 | href="http://tools.android.com/recent/newrefactoringswrapinchangelayoutchangewidget">more |

| 547 | <li>"Extract as Include" feature finds identical collections of views |

| 560 | <ul> |
| 561 | <li>This is the update to the layout editor you've been waiting for! It includes (almost) all |
| 562 | the goodies demonstrated at Google I/O. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq05KqjXTvs">Watch |
| 563 | the video</a> on YouTube.</li> |
| 564 | <li>The palette now supports different configurations for supported widgets. That is, a single |
| 565 | view is presented in various different configurations that you can drag into your layout. For |
| 566 | example, there is a <em>Text Fields</em> palette category where you can drag an {@link |
| 567 | android.widget.EditText} widget in as a password field, an e-mail field, a phone field, or other |
| 568 | types of text boxes. Similarly, {@link android.widget.TextView} widgets are preconfigured |
| 569 | with large, normal and small theme sizes, and {@link android.widget.LinearLayout} elements are |
| 570 | preconfigured in horizontal and vertical configurations (<a |
| 571 | href="http://tools.android.com/recent/multipletextfieldandlayouttypes">more info</a>).</li> |
| 572 | <li>The palette supports custom views. You can pick up any custom |
| 573 | implementations of the View class you've created in your project or from included libraries and |
| 574 | drag them into your layout (<a |
| 575 | href="http://tools.android.com/recent/customviewsinthepalette">more info</a>).</li> |
| 576 | <li>Fragments are available in the palette for placement in your layout. In the tool, you can |
| 577 | choose which layout to show rendered for a given fragment tag. Go to declaration works for fragment |
Robert Ly | 6c81c30 | 2011-10-05 12:59:29 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 578 | classes (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/fragmentsupport">more info</a>).</li> |
Scott Main | 25d0b9f | 2011-05-26 14:12:54 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 579 | <li>The layout editor automatically applies a "zoom to fit" for newly |
| 580 | opened files as well as on device size and orientation changes to |
| 581 | ensure that large layouts are always fully visible unless you |
| 582 | manually zoom in.</li> |
| 583 | <li>You can drop in an {@code <include>} element from the palette, which will pop up |
| 584 | a layout chooser. When you select the layout to include, it is added with an {@code |
| 585 | <include>}. Similarly, dropping images or image buttons will pop up image |
| 586 | resource choosers (<a |
| 587 | href="http://tools.android.com/recent/includetagdropsupport">more info</a>).</li> |
| 588 | <li>The configuration chooser now applies the "Render Target" and |
| 589 | "Locale" settings project wide, making it trivial to check the |
| 590 | layouts for different languages or render targets without having |
| 591 | to configure these individually for each layout.</li> |
| 592 | <li>The layout editor is smarter about picking a default theme to |
| 593 | render a layout with, consulting factors like theme registrations |
| 594 | in the manifest, the SDK version, and other factors.</li> |
| 595 | <li>The layout editor is smarter about picking a default configuration to render a layout |
| 596 | with, defaulting to the currently visible configuration in the previous file. It also considers the |
| 597 | SDK target to determine whether to default to a tablet or phone screen size.</li> |
| 598 | <li>Basic focus support. The first text field dropped in a layout is assigned focus, and there |
| 599 | are <strong>Request Focus</strong> and <strong>Clear Focus</strong> context menu items on text |
| 600 | fields to change the focus.</li> |

| 747 | <code>@string</code>) to the corresponding resource definition, or from manifest XML |
| 748 | registrations to activities and services.</li> |
| 749 | <li>Improvements were made to name refactoring.</li> |
| 750 | <li>AVDs now automatically save their state, so they can restart almost instantly. You can enable this feature when |
Robert Ly | 6c81c30 | 2011-10-05 12:59:29 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 751 | creating an AVD or by editing an AVD with the AVD Manager.</li> |
Robert Ly | edc2aac | 2011-01-14 16:25:09 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 752 | <li>Improvements to the Visual Layout Editor: |
| 753 | <ul> |
| 754 | <li>Support for rendering targets: You can now choose an arbitrary Android platform to |
| 755 | render the current page, regardless of the project's minimum platform. This makes it |
| 756 | easy to verify the layout and appearance of your activity on different versions of |
| 757 | the platform. |
| 758 | </li> |
| 759 | <li>Improved support for empty and nested layouts: Dragging items over nested and |
| 760 | invisible layouts automatically enlarges and highlights these layouts, so that they |
| 761 | can receive drops. |
| 762 | </li> |
| 763 | <li>XML formatting improvements: The editor generates cleaner XML and you can now enable |
| 764 | XML auto-formatting in the <strong>Preferences</strong> menu.</li> |
| 765 | <li>Improved Outline labels: The Outline tab now displays additional information about each |
| 766 | View. Textual Views display a snippet of the actual text. Views with a source |
| 767 | (such as ImageView) displays the resource name. Included Views display the name of the View. |
| 768 | </li> |
| 769 | <li>When you right click a View in the Layout Editor, |
| 770 | the context menu now contains <strong>Edit ID...</strong> and <strong>Edit Text...</strong> |
| 771 | items. The <strong>Properties...</strong> context menus now list all of the properties and |
| 772 | provide a way to edit them |
| 773 | (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/editidtextandotherpropertiesviamenu">Details</a>). |
| 774 | </li> |
| 775 | <li>The layout editor now properly handles |
| 776 | <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html#include-element"><code><include></code></a> |
| 777 | and <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html#merge-element"><code><merge></code></a> |
| 778 | tags (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/supportforincludeandmerge">Details</a>).</li> |
| 779 | <li>"Extract as Include" refactoring: The Layout Editor has a new refactoring that allows |
| 780 | you to select one or more views in a layout, and extract it into a separate layout |
| 781 | (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/extractasincluderefactoring">Details</a>).</li> |
| 782 | <li>Improved diagnostics for class loading and rendering errors: Class loading and rendering |
| 783 | error messages are more useful and provide better information about the root cause of the |
| 784 | error.</li> |
| 785 | <li>Improved error handling to prevent drag and reordering operations from adding children |
| 786 | into an {@link android.widget.AdapterView}.</li> |
| 787 | <li>Outline reordering: Reordering your views in the Outline tab is much easier |
| 788 | (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/outlineimprovements">Details</a>).</li> |
Robert Ly | 6c81c30 | 2011-10-05 12:59:29 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 789 | <li>Fix for keybinding bug where keyboard shortcuts did not work (Issues |

| 794 | <li>Automatic configuration for various view types: Certain views have properties configured |
| 795 | by default. For example, the width of an {@link android.widget.EditText} object is set to |
| 796 | <code>match_parent</code> when added to a vertical {@link android.widget.LinearLayout} |
| 797 | or a default image is added to an {@link android.widget.ImageButton}.</li> |
| 798 | <li>Previews during dragging: Dragging from the palette or dragging within the layout editor |
| 799 | now shows live previews of the dragged item.</li> |
| 800 | <li>Navigation improvements: In the Layout Editor, double-clicking Views jumps to the |
| 801 | corresponding XML element. In the Outline view, double-clicking opens the Properties view.</li> |
| 802 | <li>The editor has Honeycomb style animation preview support.</li> |
| 803 | <li>Improved rendering support for various Views (such as TabHosts and SlidingDrawers) in |
| 804 | Honeycomb (Issues <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3162">3162</a> |
| 805 | and <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13092">13092</a>).</li> |

| 807 | them. From a layout using an <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html#include-element"> |

| 810 | <code><include></code></a> element edits the referenced layout in the context of the |
| 811 | current layout. Additionally, when editing a layout that is included by other layouts, |
| 812 | you can quickly change between context layouts, by right clicking in the editor and choosing |
| 813 | <strong>Show included in...</strong>. This feature is only available in Honeycomb.</li> |
| 814 | </ul> |
| 815 | </li> |
| 816 | <li>This release fixes many other bugs, but the most important ones are listed below: |
| 817 | <ul> |
| 818 | <li>Fixed issue that prevented launching debug builds on productions devices when |
Robert Ly | 6c81c30 | 2011-10-05 12:59:29 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 819 | <code>debuggable=true</code> was not set in the Android manifest.</li> |
Robert Ly | edc2aac | 2011-01-14 16:25:09 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 820 | <li>The LogCat view in DDMS properly handles UTF-8 characters.</li> |

| 881 | <dd> |
| 882 | <ul> |
| 883 | <li>New version number scheme that follows the SDK Tools revision number. The major version |
| 884 | number for your ADT plugin should now always match the revision number of your SDK Tools. For |
| 885 | example, ADT 8.x is for SDK Tools r8.</li> |
| 886 | <li>Support for true debug build. You no longer need to change the value of the |
| 887 | <code>debuggable</code> attribute in the Android Manifest. |
| 888 | <p>Incremental builds automatically insert <code>debuggable="true"</code>, but if you perform |
| 889 | "export signed/unsigned application package", ADT does <em>not</em> insert it. |
| 890 | If you manually set <code>debuggable="true"</code> in the manifest file, then release builds will |
| 891 | actually create a debug build (it does not remove it if you placed it there).</p></li> |
Scott Main | 60c4e03 | 2011-01-07 14:48:18 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 892 | <li>Automatic <a href="{@docRoot}guide/developing/tools/proguard.html">ProGuard</a> support in |
| 893 | release builds. For it to work, you need to have a <code>proguard.config</code> |
| 894 | property in the <code>default.properties</code> file that points to a ProGuard config file.</li> |
Scott Main | c0c0c42 | 2010-11-05 15:23:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 895 | <li>Completely rewritten Visual Layout Editor. (This is still a work in progress.) Now includes: |
| 896 | <ul> |
| 897 | <li>Full drag and drop from palette to layout for all Layout classes.</li> |
| 898 | <li>Move widgets inside a Layout view, from one Layout view to another and from one layout file to another.</li> |

| 901 | </ul></li> |
| 902 | <li>New HierarchyViewer plug-in integrated in Eclipse.</li> |

| 1260 | |
| 1261 | <p> If you are having trouble downloading the ADT plugin after following the |
| 1262 | steps above, here are some suggestions: </p> |
| 1263 | |
| 1264 | <ul> |
| 1265 | <li>If Eclipse can not find the remote update site containing the ADT plugin, |
| 1266 | try changing the remote site URL to use http, rather than https. That is, set |
| 1267 | the Location for the remote site to: |
Scott Main | 081127b | 2010-10-29 15:56:27 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1268 | <pre>http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/</pre></li> |
Dirk Dougherty | ee58d1b | 2009-10-16 15:25:15 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1269 | <li>If you are behind a firewall (such as a corporate firewall), make sure that |
Scott Main | 77847a3 | 2010-11-09 16:41:32 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 1270 | you have properly configured your proxy settings in Eclipse. In Eclipse, |
Dirk Dougherty | ee58d1b | 2009-10-16 15:25:15 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1271 | you can configure proxy information from the main Eclipse menu in |
| 1272 | <strong>Window</strong> (on Mac OS X, <strong>Eclipse</strong>) > |
| 1273 | <strong>Preferences</strong> > <strong>General</strong> > <strong>Network |
| 1274 | Connections</strong>.</li> |
| 1275 | </ul> |
| 1276 | |
| 1277 | <p> If you are still unable to use Eclipse to download the ADT plugin as a |
| 1278 | remote update site, you can download the ADT zip file to your local machine and |
| 1279 | manually install it:</p> |
| 1280 | |
| 1281 | <ol> |
| 1282 | <li>Download the current ADT Plugin zip file from the table below (do not unpack it). |
| 1283 | |
| 1284 | <table class="download"> |
| 1285 | <tr> |
| 1286 | <th>Name</th> |
| 1287 | <th>Package</th> |
| 1288 | <th>Size</th> |
| 1289 | <th>MD5 Checksum</th> |
| 1290 | </tr> |
| 1291 | <tr> |
| 1292 | <td>ADT {@adtZipVersion}</td> |

| 1296 | <td>{@adtZipBytes} bytes</td> |
| 1297 | <td>{@adtZipChecksum}</td> |
| 1298 | </tr> |
| 1299 | </table> |
| 1300 | </li> |
| 1301 | |
| 1302 | </li> |
Scott Main | 081127b | 2010-10-29 15:56:27 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1303 | <li>Follow steps 1 and 2 in the <a href="#installing">default install |
Dirk Dougherty | ee58d1b | 2009-10-16 15:25:15 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1304 | instructions</a> (above).</li> |
| 1305 | <li>In the Add Site dialog, click <strong>Archive</strong>.</li> |
| 1306 | <li>Browse and select the downloaded zip file.</li> |
Scott Main | 77847a3 | 2010-11-09 16:41:32 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 1307 | <li>Enter a name for the local update site (e.g., |
Dirk Dougherty | ee58d1b | 2009-10-16 15:25:15 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1308 | "Android Plugin") in the "Name" field.</li> |
| 1309 | <li>Click <strong>OK</strong>. |
Scott Main | 081127b | 2010-10-29 15:56:27 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1310 | <li>Follow the remaining procedures as listed for |
Dirk Dougherty | 7b229ef | 2010-03-26 17:32:26 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1311 | <a href="#installing">default installation</a> above, |
Dirk Dougherty | ee58d1b | 2009-10-16 15:25:15 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1312 | starting from step 4.</li> |
| 1313 | </ol> |
| 1314 | |
| 1315 | <p>To update your plugin once you've installed using the zip file, you will have |
| 1316 | to follow these steps again instead of the default update instructions.</p> |

Scott Main | 081127b | 2010-10-29 15:56:27 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1320 | <p>Note that there are features of ADT that require some optional |
| 1321 | Eclipse components (for example, WST). If you encounter an error when |
| 1322 | installing ADT, your Eclipse installion might not include these components. |
| 1323 | For information about how to quickly add the necessary components to your |
| 1324 | Eclipse installation, see the troubleshooting topic |

Dirk Dougherty | 7b229ef | 2010-03-26 17:32:26 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1342 | <p>From time to time, a new revision of the ADT Plugin becomes available, with |
| 1343 | new features and bug fixes. Generally, when a new revision of ADT is available, |
| 1344 | you should update to it as soon as convenient. </p> |
| 1345 | |
| 1346 | <p>In some cases, a new revision of ADT will have a dependency on a specific |
| 1347 | revision of the Android SDK Tools. If such dependencies exist, you will need to |
| 1348 | update the SDK Tools component of the SDK after installing the new revision of |
| 1349 | ADT. To update the SDK Tools component, use the Android SDK and AVD Manager, as |
| 1350 | described in <a href="adding-components.html">Adding SDK Components</a>.</p> |
