+ADT 9.0.0</a> <em>(January 2011)</em>
+ <div class="toggleme">

+<dl>
+
+<dt>Dependencies:</dt>
+
+<dd>ADT 9.0.0 is designed for use with SDK Tools r9. If you haven't
+already installed SDK Tools r9 into your SDK, use the Android SDK and AVD Manager to do
+so.</dd>
+
+<dt>General notes:</dt>
+<dd>
+ <ul>
+ <li>"Go To Declaration" hyperlink support: You can jump directly from code references (such as
+ <code>R.id.main</code>) to the corresponding XML declaration, or from XML attributes (such as
+ <code>@string</code>) to the corresponding resource definition, or from manifest XML
+ registrations to activities and services.</li>
+ <li>Improvements were made to name refactoring.</li>
+ <li>AVDs now automatically save their state, so they can restart almost instantly. You can enable this feature when
+ creating an AVD or by editing an AVD with the AVD Manager.</li>
+ <li>Improvements to the Visual Layout Editor:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Support for rendering targets: You can now choose an arbitrary Android platform to
+ render the current page, regardless of the project's minimum platform. This makes it
+ easy to verify the layout and appearance of your activity on different versions of
+ the platform.
+ </li>
+ <li>Improved support for empty and nested layouts: Dragging items over nested and
+ invisible layouts automatically enlarges and highlights these layouts, so that they
+ can receive drops.
+ </li>
+ <li>XML formatting improvements: The editor generates cleaner XML and you can now enable
+ XML auto-formatting in the <strong>Preferences</strong> menu.</li>
+ <li>Improved Outline labels: The Outline tab now displays additional information about each
+ View. Textual Views display a snippet of the actual text. Views with a source
+ (such as ImageView) displays the resource name. Included Views display the name of the View.
+ </li>
+ <li>When you right click a View in the Layout Editor,
+ the context menu now contains <strong>Edit ID...</strong> and <strong>Edit Text...</strong>
+ items. The <strong>Properties...</strong> context menus now list all of the properties and
+ provide a way to edit them
+ (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/editidtextandotherpropertiesviamenu">Details</a>).
+ </li>
+ <li>The layout editor now properly handles
+ <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html#include-element"><code>&lt;include&gt;</code></a>
+ and <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html#merge-element"><code>&lt;merge&gt;</code></a>
+ tags (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/supportforincludeandmerge">Details</a>).</li>
+ <li>"Extract as Include" refactoring: The Layout Editor has a new refactoring that allows
+ you to select one or more views in a layout, and extract it into a separate layout
+ (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/extractasincluderefactoring">Details</a>).</li>
+ <li>Improved diagnostics for class loading and rendering errors: Class loading and rendering
+ error messages are more useful and provide better information about the root cause of the
+ error.</li>
+ <li>Improved error handling to prevent drag and reordering operations from adding children
+ into an {@link android.widget.AdapterView}.</li>
+ <li>Outline reordering: Reordering your views in the Outline tab is much easier
+ (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/outlineimprovements">Details</a>).</li>
+ <li>Fix for keybinding bug where keyboard shortcuts did not work (Issues
+ <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13231">13231</a> and
+ <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13134">13134</a>).</li>
+ <li>Fix for problems with Custom layout attribute menu (Issue
+ <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13134">13134</a>).</li>
+ <li>Automatic configuration for various view types: Certain views have properties configured
+ by default. For example, the width of an {@link android.widget.EditText} object is set to
+ <code>match_parent</code> when added to a vertical {@link android.widget.LinearLayout}
+ or a default image is added to an {@link android.widget.ImageButton}.</li>
+ <li>Previews during dragging: Dragging from the palette or dragging within the layout editor
+ now shows live previews of the dragged item.</li>
+ <li>Navigation improvements: In the Layout Editor, double-clicking Views jumps to the
+ corresponding XML element. In the Outline view, double-clicking opens the Properties view.</li>
+ <li>The editor has Honeycomb style animation preview support.</li>
+ <li>Improved rendering support for various Views (such as TabHosts and SlidingDrawers) in
+ Honeycomb (Issues <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3162">3162</a>
+ and <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13092">13092</a>).</li>
+ <li>Included layouts can be rendered and edited in the context of the layouts that include
+ them. From a layout using an <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html#include-element">
+ <code>&lt;include&gt;</code></a> tag, double-clicking on the
+ <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html#include-element">
+ <code>&lt;include&gt;</code></a> element edits the referenced layout in the context of the
+ current layout. Additionally, when editing a layout that is included by other layouts,
+ you can quickly change between context layouts, by right clicking in the editor and choosing
+ <strong>Show included in...</strong>. This feature is only available in Honeycomb.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>This release fixes many other bugs, but the most important ones are listed below:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Fixed issue that prevented launching debug builds on productions devices when
+ <code>debuggable=true</code> was not set in the Android manifest.</li>
+ <li>The LogCat view in DDMS properly handles UTF-8 characters.</li>
+ <li>The SDK Manager is more reliable on Windows
+ (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/sdkmanagerfixes">Details</a>).</li>
+ <li>A JUnit initialization bug that prevented you from working with JUnit tests was fixed
+ (Issue <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=12411">12411</a>).</li>

+
+ <div class="toggleme">
+ <p>This release of the NDK does not include any new features compared to r5. The r5b release addresses the
+ following problems in the r5 release:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>The r5 binaries required glibc 2.11, but the r5b binaries are generated with a special
+ toolchain that targets glibc 2.7 or higher instead. The Linux toolchain binaries now run on Ubuntu 8.04 or higher. </li>
+ <li>Fixes a compiler bug in the arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3 toolchain.
+ The previous binary generated invalid thumb instruction sequences when
+ dealing with signed chars.</li>
+ <li>Adds missing documentation for the
+ "gnustl_static" value for APP_STL, that allows you to link against
+ a static library version of GNU libstdc++. </li>
+ <li>The following <code>ndk-build</code> issues are fixed:
+ <ul>
+ <li>A bug that created inconsistent dependency files when a
+ compilation error occured on Windows. This prevented a proper build after
+ the error was fixed in the source code.</li>
+ <li>A Cygwin-specific bug where using very short paths for
+ the Android NDK installation or the project path led to the
+ generation of invalid dependency files. This made incremental builds
+ impossible.</li>
+ <li>A typo that prevented the cpufeatures library from working correctly
+ with the new NDK toolchain.</li>
+ <li>Builds in Cygwin are faster by avoiding calls to <code>cygpath -m</code>
+ from GNU Make for every source or object file, which caused problems
+ with very large source trees. In case this doesn't work properly, define <code>NDK_USE_CYGPATH=1</code> in your
+ environment to use <code>cygpath -m</code> again.</li>
+ <li>The Cygwin installation now notifies the user of invalid installation paths that contain spaces. Previously, an invalid path
+ would output an error that complained about an incorrect version of GNU Make, even if the right one was installed.
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>Fixed a typo that prevented the <code>NDK_MODULE_PATH</code> environment variable from working properly when
+ it contained multiple directories separated with a colon. </li>
+ <li>The <code>prebuilt-common.sh</code> script contains fixes to check the compiler for 64-bit
+ generated machine code, instead of relying on the host tag, which
+ allows the 32-bit toolchain to rebuild properly on Snow Leopard. The toolchain rebuild scripts now also support
+ using a 32-bit host toolchain.</li>
+ <li>A missing declaration for <code>INET_ADDRSTRLEN</code> was added to <code>&lt;netinet/in.h&gt;</code>.</li>
+ <li>Missing declarations for <code>IN6_IS_ADDR_MC_NODELOCAL</code> and <code>IN6_IS_ADDR_MC_GLOBAL</code> were added to <code>&lt;netinet/in6.h&gt;</code>.</li>
+ <li>'asm' was replaced with '__asm__' in <code>&lt;asm/byteorder.h&gt;</code> to allow compilation with <code>-std=c99</code>.</li>

+<p>If you are developing in Eclipse with ADT, note that the SDK Tools r9 is
+designed for use with ADT 9.0.0 and later. After installing SDK Tools r9, we
+highly recommend updating your ADT Plugin to 9.0.0.</p>

+for the <code>adb</code> tool has changed from <code>&lt;<em>SDK</em>&gt;/tools/adb</code> to
+<code>&lt;<em>SDK</em>&gt;/platform-tools/adb</code>. This means that you should
+add the new location to your PATH and modify any custom build scripts to
+reference the new location. Copying the <code>adb</code> executable from the new
