After installing SDK Tools r8, we +highly recommend updating your ADT Plugin to 8.0.0.</p> + +<p>Also note that SDK Tools r8 requires a new SDK component called +<em>Platform-tools</em>. The new Platform-tools component lets all SDK platforms +(Android 2.1, Android 2.2, and so on) use the same (latest) version of build +tools such as <code>adb</code>, <code>aapt</code>, <code>aidl</code>, and +<code>dx</code>. To download the Platform-tools component, use the Android SDK +Manager, as described in <a href="adding-components.html">Adding SDK +Components</a></p> + +<dt>Upgrading from SDK Tools r7:</dt> +<dd> +<p>If you are upgrading to SDK Tools r8 from an earlier version, note that the +the default installed location for the <code>adb</code> tool has changed from +<code><<em>SDK</em>>/tools/adb</code> to +<code><<em>SDK</em>>/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 +location to the old is not recommended, since subsequent updates to the SDK +Tools will delete the file.</p> +</dd> + +<dt>General notes:</dt> +<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}guide/developing/tools/proguard.html">ProGuard</a> +documentation. </li> +<li>New overridable Ant javac properties: <code>java.encoding</code>, +<code>java.source</code>, and <code>java.target</code> (default values are +"ascii", "1.5", and "1.5", respectively).</li> +<li>New UI for the HierarchyViewer tool.</li> +</ul> +</dd> +</dl> + </div> +</div> + +<div class="toggleable closed"> + <a href="#" onclick="return toggleDiv(this)"> + <img src="{@docRoot}assets/images/triangle-closed.png" class="toggle-img" height="9px" width="9px" /> SDK Tools, Revision 7</a> <em>(September 2010)</em> <div class="toggleme"> |
