Xavier Ducrohet665f6812012-06-01 18:28:08 -07002020.0.0
Tor Norbye7eeb2d62012-06-06 14:21:36 -070021* A lot of bug fixes, performance fixes and memory fixes.
22* Support for Eclipse 4.x.
23* Build System
24 * Automatic merging of library project manifest files into the
25 including project's manifest. Enable with the
26 manifestmerger.enabled property.
27 * Automatic ProGuard support for the aapt -G flag. This means that
28 the build system will generate a temporary ProGuard keep-rules
29 file containing classes to keep that are referenced from XML files
30 (such as custom views) and pass this to ProGuard at
31 shrink-time. This can make the resulting APK much smaller when
32 using just a small portion of a large library project (such as the
33 Android Support library), since we have also removed the catch-all
34 rules to keep all custom views from the default ProGuard
35 configuration file.
36 * Aidl files from library projects are now in the import list.
37 * Fixes in Ant:
38 * Test projects now have access to the full classpath from the
39 tested projects, including Library Projects and 3rd party jar
40 * Applications embedding tests can now be deployed and tested,
41 including with code coverage, like test applications.
42* Lint
43 * Tighter integration with the layout editor (error and warning
44 icons overlaid views with errors, lint error messages shown as
45 tooltips in the layout canvas and in the outline, error count
46 displayed in the layout actions bar.)
47 * Lint is run incrementally in Java files on save, just like XML
48 files already are.
49 * New lint rules:
50 * Detect usages of Toast.makeText() without calling show() on the
51 result, as well as passing invalid duration parameters (e.g. a
52 number instead of one of the two allowed constants.)
53 * Detect incorrect manifest registrations (where elements such as
54 <uses-library>, <activity> etc are placed under the wrong parent.)
55 * Several security checks: Look for exported content providers
56 without required permissions, look for creation of world readable
57 files and preferences, look for calls to
58 android.webkit.WebSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled.
59 * Check to make sure that Fragment classes are instantiatable. If
60 you accidentally make a fragment innerclass non-static, or forget
61 to have a default constructor, you can hit runtime errors when the
62 system attempts to reinstantiate your fragment after a
63 configuration change.
64 * Look for handler leaks: This check makes sure that a handler inner
65 class does not hold an implicit reference to its outer class.
66 * Duplicate Activity registrations in the manifest. This can lead to
67 subtle errors that can be difficult to understand.
68 * Lint check ensuring that when you edit() a SharedPreference object
69 you call commit()
70* Layout Editor
71 * New property sheet implementation, which offers:
72 * Highlighting (in bold) for important attributes.
73 * Inline preview of colors and images, as well as the
74 corresponding resource name.
75 * Displays default values, when available.
76 * Completion of resource values and enum and flag constants.
77 * Support for showing and hiding "advanced" properties.
78 * Nested properties (and collapse all and expand all) for better
79 categorization. For example, layout params are listed first as a
80 single nested property.
81 * Tooltips over the attribute names, not values, so they never
82 obscure the value column.
83 * Checkbox support for boolean values.
84 * Support for switching between alphabetical and natural sort
85 orders.
86 * New window management. The propertysheet is now automatically
87 docked into the Outline view, and the outline can appear in a
88 maximized editor. The structure and palette views can be minimized
89 and appear temporarily on flyover.
90 * New configuration chooser above the layout editor, which in
91 addition to a visual refresh offers an activity chooser, a nested
92 theme chooser, a single button to flip orientation, better
93 wrapping behavior, etc.
94* SDK Manager:
95 * Cache to avoid downloading repository definitions all the time.
96 * New "Tools > Manage Add-on Sites" option that allows deactivating
97 3rd party sites (e.g. if one or more are temporarily slow to
98 load.)
99* NDK integration (alpha):
100 * Initial support for building and debugging projects with C/C++
101 code.
102 * To enable this, install the NDK feature (depends on CDT), and then
103 set the path to NDK in Android Preferences.
104 * Add NDK nature to an Android project by right clicking on the
105 project and select "Android Tools -> Add Native Support".
106 * To debug an NDK project, just right click and select "Debug As
107 Android Native Application".
108* Execution
109 * LogCat: Allow users to set colors for different priorities
110 * LogCat: Ctrl + F now brings up a Find dialog to find items (rather
111 than filter)
112 * Allow running on multiple devices with a single launch. The target
113 tab in the launch configuration dialog adds a new option which
114 allows launching on all connected devices, and a drop down allows
115 the user to further narrow down the list to just physical devices
116 or just emulators. (This applies only to Run configurations, not
117 to Debug/JUnit tests.)
118* XML Editing
119 * Code completion support for custom attributes on custom views.
120 * Go to Declaration now works for theme references (?android:attr,
121 ?attr: etc,)
122 * Completion of the minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion attributes in
123 manifest files now include version descriptions for each of the
124 API levels
125 * Support XML editor outlines for layout files. Switching back and
126 forth between the text editor and graphical editor will alternate
127 between the two outlines, and in particular the XML editor outline
128 will keep up to date with edits in the editor, and selection will
129 follow the mouse cursor etc.
130* The Asset Studio Wizard now supports padding and disabling
131 background shapes
Xavier Ducrohet665f6812012-06-01 18:28:08 -0700132
13319.0.0 (does not exist)
Xavier Ducrohet0dd40512012-03-29 12:11:54 -0700134
13518.0.0
136* Fix bug 27940 where exporting release package doesn't recompile libraries
137 in release mode.
138
Tor Norbye310538c2012-01-13 08:56:18 -080013917.0.0:
140* ADT 17 requires Java 6 and Eclipse 3.6.2.
141* Improved Lint UI.
142 * Many new lint checks: See the tools changes.txt for details.
143 * New "Run Lint" toolbar action with a dropdown menu for selecting
144 specific (or all) projects, clearing results, etc.
145 * The results window is now organized as a tree rather than a flat
146 list. Each issue type has a single top level item, which makes it
147 easier to quickly scan through the reported issues and narrow
148 down to issues you are most interested in.
149 * The results window contains many new toolbar actions, including
150 expand/collapse, ignore in file, ignore in project, ignore
151 everywhere, show options, and configure columns.
152 * There are new columns available, such as category, priority,
153 project, file and line. The column selection (as well as the
154 column sizes) are persisted. You can click on columns to sort by
155 that column.
156 * The Lint Options dialog has Enable All and Disable All buttons,
157 and a search filter textbox to filter by issue id, summary and
158 severity.
159* New Quick Outline for XML editors (Ctrl-O, Command-O). This shows
160 the structure of the current file including icons and ids, and lets
161 you filter and quickly jump to specific ids.
162* The resource chooser now shows the resolved value for resources
163 (e.g. when selecting @string/hello it displays that the resolved value
164 is "Hello World"). It also allows editing the chosen value directly.
165* The layout editor no longer assigns default ids to layouts, includes
166 and merge tags. This tended to pollute the namespace with a lot of
167 unused resources since layouts aren't usually manipulated via code,
168 or referenced from XML. (The RelativeLayout editor automatically
169 assigns ids to views without ids when pointing to them.)
Tor Norbye5ae5ceb2012-02-15 12:39:14 -0800170* Export Screenshot from the Layout Editor
Tor Norbye310538c2012-01-13 08:56:18 -0800171* Layout editor fix for SlidingDrawer which on some platforms could
172 not be dragged into the layout. Also fix preview rendering for
173 SlidingDrawer and TabHost (issue 23022).
174* New default application icons, including an xhdpi version.
175* Important bug fixes:
176 * Fix bug in resource chooser which made some types of framework
177 resources impossible to select (issue 20589)
178 * Fix a bug in the formatter where a certain whitespace pattern
179 could result in a non-space character getting deleted (issue
180 23940)
181 * Fix locale bug affecting Turkish locales in particular (issue
182 23747)
183
Tor Norbyea79073e2011-10-20 18:33:24 -070018416.0.0:
185* New "lint" feature which scans the Android projects for potential
186 problems such as missing translations, duplicate ids between layouts
187 that include each other, using px instead of dp units, hardcoded
188 strings, missing contentDescriptions, obsolete Proguard
189 configuration files, etc. Lint can be run on the command line, but
190 it is also integrated into the Problems view in Eclipse, and there
191 are also quickfixes available for many of the reported errors.
192
19315.0.0
194Critical bug fixes only.
195
19614.0.0
Xavier Ducrohetbabf25c2011-02-14 15:52:12 -0800197- Build system:
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -0700198 - (TODO: More info) Improved library projects
199 - Improved incremental builds
200 - Resource compilation is run much less frequently. It is no
201 longer run when strings are edited, or when layouts are edited
202 (unless a new id is introduced), and it is no longer run once
203 per library project (!)
204 - Resource compilation is no longer done for normal save
205 operations, only when running or debugging (option added in ADT
206 12 now on by default.)
207 - There is a new "PNG crunch cache", which means image crunching
208 is only done once, not once per build which is significant for
209 projects with many resources
210 - Incremental ant builds
Xavier Ducrohetbabf25c2011-02-14 15:52:12 -0800211 - ADT now uses bin/classes to output the java compilation
212 and bin/ for Android specific classes. This will make bin show up
213 in the package explorer.
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -0700214- DDMS
215 - Brand new logcat view. Fixes bugs, displays and filters by
216 application names instead of just pids, fronts when application
217 runs.
218- XML Editing
219 - New XML formatter which formats all XML files according to the
220 standard Android coding style. The formatter can also reorder
221 attributes to follow the recommended order.
222 - Improved "smart indent": automatic indentation and un-indentation
223 when pressing Return in XML editors
224 - Go to Matching (Ctrl-Shift-P) in XML files can now jump between
225 opening and closing tags
226 - Changes made by the layout editor are automatically run through
227 the new XML formatter.
228 - Select Enclosing Element should now work on the Mac as well.
229- Java Editing
230 - Quickfix for extracting Strings when the caret is inside a String
231- Layout Editor
232 - New GridLayout support
233 - Tooltip feedback for resizing and dragging operations. For
234 example, when dragging in a relative layout, the proposed
235 constraints are shown, and when resizing the new dimensions are
236 shown.
237 - New "Remove Container" visual refactoring which removes the
238 children of a container up to the top level and transfers
239 namespace and layout attributes if necessary.
240 - Improved access to properties in the context menu: The most
241 frequently set attributes for each view are listed at the top of
242 the menu, and the properties menu offers access to the most
243 recently set attributes, attributes organized by their defining
244 view, and layout attributes only or all attributes alphabetically.
245 - The context menu now also contains pull-right menus for accessing
246 properties of the parents, which is useful when the children fully
247 cover the parent making it hard to select on its own.
248 - Ability to suppress rendering fidelity warnings.
249- Asset Studio integration: Wizard creation of launcher icons, menu
250 icons, tab icons, etc.
Tor Norbyee92f8162011-09-27 08:59:15 -0700251- New Welcome Wizard to help installing and configuring the SDK
252 platforms.
Tor Norbye4dfe5712011-09-13 14:35:48 -0700253- The New Project and the New XML File wizards have been reworked into
254 multiple pages. Sample Projects are now copied into the workspace
255 such that they can be modified and deleted without affecting the
256 master copy.
257- The dependency on Eclipse GEF was removed.
258- Many bug fixes, and in particular some critical bug fixes on Linux
Xavier Ducrohetbabf25c2011-02-14 15:52:12 -0800259
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070026013.0.0
261- Tools release only (command line tools)
262
26312.0.0 (July 6th, 2011)
Tor Norbye61be14c2011-06-13 13:22:32 -0700264- Many bug fixes!
265- Visual Layout Editor:
266 - New RelativeLayout drop support with guideline suggestions for
267 attachments and cycle prevention.
268 - Resize support in most layouts. In LinearLayout, sizes are mapped
269 to weights. Guideline snapping to wrap_content and match_parent.
270 - Previews of drawables and colors in the resource chooser dialogs.
271 - Improved error messages and links for rendering errors, including
272 detection of misspellings of class names.
273- Build system: Delay post compiler phase until actual export or debug
274 to speed up interactive file saves. (This is off by default but can
275 be enabled in the ADT options panel.)
Xavier Ducrohet69a82902011-06-06 16:45:50 -0700276
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070027711.0.0 (June 6th, 2011)
Tor Norbye3dcfd762011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700278- Visual Refactoring:
279 - The new "Extract Style" refactoring pulls out style constants and
Tor Norbyee1777152011-05-25 15:50:53 -0700280 defines them as style rules instead.
Tor Norbye3dcfd762011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700281 - The new "Wrap in Container" refactoring surrounds the selected
282 views with a new layout, and transfers namespace and layout
283 parameters to the new parent
284 - The new "Change Widget Type" refactoring changes the type of the
285 selected views to a new type. (Also, a new selection context menu
286 in the visual layout editor makes it easy to select siblings as
287 well as views anywhere in the layout that have the same type).
288 - The new "Change Layout" refactoring changes layouts from one type
289 to another, and can also flatten a layout hierarchy.
290 - The "Extract as Include" refactoring now finds identical fragments
291 in other layouts and offers to combine all into a single include.
292 - There is a new Refactoring Quick Assistant which can be invoked
293 from the XML editor (with Ctrl-1) to apply any of the above
294 refactorings (and Extract String) to the current selection.
295- Visual Layout Editor:
296 - Improved "rendering fidelity": The layout preview has been
297 improved and should more closely match the rendering on actual
298 devices.
299 - The visual editor now previews ListViews at designtime. By
300 default, a two-line list item is shown, but with a context menu
301 you can pick any arbitrary layout to be used for the list items,
302 and you can also pick the header and footer layouts.
303 - The palette now supports "configurations" where a single view is
304 presented in various different configurations. For example, there
305 is a whole "Textfields" palette category where the EditText view
306 can be dragged in as a password field, an e-mail field, a phone
307 field, and so on. Similarly, TextViews are offered preconfigured
308 with large, normal and small theme sizes, and LinearLayouts are
309 offered both in horizontal and vertical configurations.
310 - The palette supports custom views, picking up any custom
311 implementations of the View class in your project source folders
312 or in included libraries, and these can be dragged into layouts.
Tor Norbyefb48dde2011-05-19 13:52:31 -0700313 - Fragments support: Fragments are available in the palette, and in
314 the tool you can choose which layout to show rendered for a given
315 fragment tag. Go to declaration works for fragment classes.
Tor Norbye3dcfd762011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700316 - The layout editor automatically applies a "zoom to fit" for newly
317 opened files as well as on device size and orientation changes to
318 ensure that large layouts are always fully visible unless you
319 manually zoom in.
320 - You can drop an "include" tag from the palette, which will pop up
321 a layout chooser, and the chosen layout is added as an include.
322 Similarly, dropping images or image buttons will pop up image
323 resource choosers to initialize the new image with.
324 - The configuration chooser now applies the "Render Target" and
325 "Locale" settings project wide, making it trivial to check the
326 layouts for different languages or render targets without having
327 to configure these individually for each layout.
328 - The layout editor is smarter about picking a default theme to
329 render a layout with, consulting factors like theme registrations
330 in the manifest, the SDK version, etc.
Tor Norbyefb48dde2011-05-19 13:52:31 -0700331 - The layout editor is also smarter about picking a default
332 configuration to render a layout with, defaulting to the currently
333 visible configuration in the previous file. It also considers the
334 SDK target to determine whether to default to a tablet or phone
335 screen size.
336 - Basic focus support: The first text field dropped in a layout is
337 assigned focus, and there are "Request Focus" and "Clear Focus"
338 context menu items on text fields to change the focus.
Tor Norbye3dcfd762011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700339- XML editors:
340 - Code completion has been significantly improved. It now works
341 within <style> elements, it completes dimensional units,
342 it sorts resource paths in values based on the attribute name,
343 etc. There are also many fixes to handle text replacement.
344 - AAPT errors are handled better. They are now underlined for the
345 relevant range in the editor, and a new quickfix makes it trivial
346 to create missing resources.
347 - Code completion for drawable, animation and color XML files.
348- DDMS:
349 - "New Folder" action in the File Explorer
350 - The screenshot dialog will add timestamps to the filenames, and
351 preserve the orientation on snapshot refresh
352- TraceView: Mouse-wheel zoom support in the timeline
353- The New Android Project wizard now supports Eclipse working sets
354- Most of the tools have improved integration with the Mac OSX
355 system menu bar.
356- Most of the tools have new launcher icons.
357
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070035810.0.1 (March, 2011)
Tor Norbye3301b682011-04-05 08:59:12 -0700359- Temporary work-around to resolve the rare cases in which the layout
360 editor will not open.
361- Fix issue in which ADT 10.0.0 would install on Eclipse 3.4 and
362 lower, even though ADT requires Eclipse 3.5 or higher (as of
363 10.0.0).
364
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070036510.0.0 (February 22nd, 2011)
Tor Norbye3301b682011-04-05 08:59:12 -0700366- The tools now automatically generate Java Programming Language
367 source files (in the gen/ directory) and bytecode (in the res/raw/
368 directory) from your .rs files.
369- A Binary XML editor has been added.
370- Traceview is now integrated into the Eclipse UI.
371- The "Go To Declaration" feature for XML and .java files quickly show
372 all the matches in the project and allows you jump to specific items
373 such as string translations or onClick handlers.
374- The Resource Chooser can create items such as dimensions, integers,
375 ids, and booleans.
376- Improvements to the Visual Layout Editor:
377 - A new Palette with categories and rendering previews.
378 - A Layout Actions bar that provides quick access to common layout
379 operations.
380 - When the Android 3.0 rendering library is selected, layouts render
381 more like they do on devices. This includes rendering of status
382 and title bars to more accurately reflect the actual screen space
383 available to applications.
384 - Zoom improvements such as fit to view, persistent scale, and
385 keyboard access..
386 - Further improvements to <merge> layouts, as well as layouts with
387 gesture overlays.
388 - Improved rendering error diagnostics.
389
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -07003909.0.0 (January 26, 2011)
Xavier Ducrohet484e7f32010-11-17 15:17:59 -0800391- Visual Layout Editor
Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800392 - Empty layouts with 0,0 size are now automatically expanded when
393 selected and during drag and drop
394 - Rendering target can now be changed from the default (project
395 target)
396 - When choosing resources for rendering, the API level is properly
397 handled
Tor Norbyee14b92a2011-01-10 19:20:45 -0800398 - Improved support for rendering <include> and <merge> views
Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800399 - "Extract as Include" refactoring to extract selected views into
400 a separate included layout.
401 - String and reference properties can be edited from the layout
402 editor's context menu
403 - Rewritten outline drag & drop handling, improved label colors
404 and content
405 - The generated XML will be better formatted. Full XML formatter
406 can be enabled in the preferences (under Android > Editors), but
407 will touch part of the XML that isn't modified.
408 - Automatic configuration of many widgets on drop, such as
409 automatically filling a TextView in a vertical LinearLayout,
410 adding rows to new tables, etc.
411 - Double click views to jump to the corresponding XML declaration,
412 or for included views, to the included layout file
Tor Norbye6f147bd2011-01-17 22:25:54 -0800413 - Improved support for various views (such as TabHosts and
414 SlidingDrawers) when rendered using Honeycomb
Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800415- Go to Declaration hyperlinks for navigating from @resource
416 references to their XML declarations, from the manifest file to
417 activity and service classes, from Java access of resource R fields
418 to the XML declarations, etc.
Xavier Ducrohet5e9522e2011-01-06 18:02:13 -0800419- Logcat view in DDMS now properly displays UTF-8 characters.
420

Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800422- Fix compilation issue in Android projects referencing standard Java
423 projects.
Xavier Ducrohet3e7d21a2010-12-07 12:16:53 -0800424- Better error reporting when exporting applications for release.
425

780 opened in the current workspace.
781- Building the project now force refreshes the res folder. This should
782 help rebuilding the resources when only binary files were changed
783 from outside eclipse.
784- Clean/full builds now compile all aidl files found in the build path
785 (previously only incremental builds would compile them). Also, misc
786 improvements to the incremental builders.
787- Starting a run/debug session now asks to save the files and forces a
788 new build to ensure that the latest package is pushed on the device.
789- Plugin should be less aggressive when waiting for the emulator to be
790 ready. This should translate in fewer failed launches.
