For the latest known issues, please ensure that you're viewing this page at <a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/RELEASENOTES.html">http://developer.android.com/sdk/RELEASENOTES.html</a>.</p> +<h2 id="1.5_r3">Android 1.5 SDK, Release 3</h2> + +<p>Provides an updated Android 1.5 system image that includes permissions +fixes, as described below, and a new application — an IME for Japanese +text input. Also provides the same set of developer tools included in the +previous SDK, but with bug fixes and several new features.</p> + +<h3>Permissions Fixes</h3> + +<p>The latest version of the Android platform, deployable to +Android-powered devices, includes fixes to the permissions-checking +in certain areas of the framework. Specifically, the Android system +now properly checks and enforces several existing permissions where it +did not do so in the previous release. Because of these changes in +enforcement, you are strongly encouraged to test your application +against the new Android 1.5 system image included in this SDK, to ensure +that it functions normally. </p> + +<p>In particular, if your application uses any of the system areas listed below, +you should add the required permissions to the application's manifest and then +test the areas of your code that depend on the permission-protected services. +Even if you believe your application does not use the permissions-protected +services, you should compile and test your application under the latest platform +version to ensure that users will not encounter problems when using your +application. </p> + +<p>The changes to permissions are as follows:</p> + +<ul> +<li>When an application requests access to device camera (through +android.hardware.camera), the <code>CAMERA</code> permission check is now +properly enforced. </li> +<li>When an application requests access to device audio capture (through +android.media.MediaRecorder), the <code>RECORD_AUDIO</code> permission check is +now properly enforced.</li> +</ul> + +<p>For more information, see the issue described in the oCert advisory +below:</p> + +<p style="margin-left: 2em;"><a href="http://www.ocert.org/advisories/ocert-2009-011.html">http://www.ocert.org/advisories/ocert-2009-011.html</a> </p> + +<h3>Resolved Issues, Changes</h3> + +<ul> +<li>The SDK includes a new version of the Google APIs add-on. The add-on +provides an updated com.google.android.maps external library that fixes compile +errors related to certain classes such as GeoPoint. For information about the +Google APIs add-on and the library it provides, see: + +<p style="margin-left:2em;"><a +href="http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis">http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis</a> </p></li> + +<li>The SDK add-on architecture now lets device manufacturers specify a USB +Vendor ID in their add-ons. +<li>The <code>android</code> tool provides a new command that scans SDK add-ons +for their USB Vendor IDs and makes them available to adb (OS X and Linux +versions of the SDK only). The command is <code>android update adb</code>. On +Windows versions of the SDK, a custom USB driver is included that supports the +"Google" and "HTC" Vendor IDs, which allow adb to recognize G1 and HTC +Magic devices. For other devices, contact the device manufacturer +to obtain a USB driver, especially if you have an SDK add-on that defines +a new USB Vendor ID.</li> +<li>The telephony, sensor, and geo fix issues in the emulator are now +fixed.</li> +<li>When you use adb to uninstall an upgraded application, the Android system +now properly restores any permissions that had already been granted to the +previous (downgrade) version of the application</li> +</ul> + <h2 id="1.5_r2">Android 1.5 SDK, Release 2</h2> <p>This SDK release provides the same developer tools as the Android 1.5 SDK, |
