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.
+ +
General notes:
+
+
    +
  • "Go To Declaration" hyperlink support: You can jump directly from code references (such as + R.id.main) to the corresponding XML declaration, or from XML attributes (such as + @string) to the corresponding resource definition, or from manifest XML + registrations to activities and services.
    • +
  • Improvements were made to name refactoring.
    • +
  • 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.
    • +
  • Improvements to the Visual Layout Editor: +
      +
    • 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. +
      • +
    • 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. +
      • +
    • XML formatting improvements: The editor generates cleaner XML and you can now enable + XML auto-formatting in the Preferences menu.
      • +
    • 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. +
      • +
    • When you right click a View in the Layout Editor, + the context menu now contains Edit ID... and Edit Text... + items. The Properties... context menus now list all of the properties and + provide a way to edit them + (Details). +
      • +
    • The layout editor now properly handles + <include> + and <merge> + tags (Details).
      • +
    • "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 + (Details).
      • +
    • 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.
      • +
    • Improved error handling to prevent drag and reordering operations from adding children + into an {@link android.widget.AdapterView}.
      • +
    • Outline reordering: Reordering your views in the Outline tab is much easier + (Details).
      • +
    • Fix for keybinding bug where keyboard shortcuts did not work (Issues + 13231 and + 13134).
      • +
    • Fix for problems with Custom layout attribute menu (Issue + 13134).
      • +
    • 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 + match_parent when added to a vertical {@link android.widget.LinearLayout} + or a default image is added to an {@link android.widget.ImageButton}.
      • +
    • Previews during dragging: Dragging from the palette or dragging within the layout editor + now shows live previews of the dragged item.
      • +
    • 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.
      • +
    • The editor has Honeycomb style animation preview support.
      • +
    • Improved rendering support for various Views (such as TabHosts and SlidingDrawers) in + Honeycomb (Issues 3162 + and 13092).
      • +
    • Included layouts can be rendered and edited in the context of the layouts that include + them. From a layout using an + <include> tag, double-clicking on the + + <include> 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 + Show included in.... This feature is only available in Honeycomb.
      • +
    +
    • +
  • This release fixes many other bugs, but the most important ones are listed below: +
      +
    • Fixed issue that prevented launching debug builds on productions devices when + debuggable=true was not set in the Android manifest.
      • +
    • The LogCat view in DDMS properly handles UTF-8 characters.
      • +
    • The SDK Manager is more reliable on Windows + (Details).
      • +
    • A JUnit initialization bug that prevented you from working with JUnit tests was fixed + (Issue 12411).

Android NDK, Revision 5b (January 2011) + +
+

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: +

+
    +
  • 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.
    • +
  • 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.
    • +
  • Adds missing documentation for the + "gnustl_static" value for APP_STL, that allows you to link against + a static library version of GNU libstdc++.
    • +
  • The following ndk-build issues are fixed: +
      +
    • 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.
      • +
    • 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.
      • +
    • A typo that prevented the cpufeatures library from working correctly + with the new NDK toolchain.
      • +
    • Builds in Cygwin are faster by avoiding calls to cygpath -m + 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 NDK_USE_CYGPATH=1 in your + environment to use cygpath -m again.
      • +
    • 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. +
    +
    • +
  • Fixed a typo that prevented the NDK_MODULE_PATH environment variable from working properly when + it contained multiple directories separated with a colon.
    • +
  • The prebuilt-common.sh 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.
    • +
  • A missing declaration for INET_ADDRSTRLEN was added to <netinet/in.h>.
    • +
  • Missing declarations for IN6_IS_ADDR_MC_NODELOCAL and IN6_IS_ADDR_MC_GLOBAL were added to <netinet/in6.h>.
    • +
  • 'asm' was replaced with '__asm__' in <asm/byteorder.h> to allow compilation with -std=c99.

+
+
Dependencies:
+
+

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.

+ +

If you are developing outside Eclipse, you must have Apache +Ant 1.8 or later.

+ +
Upgrading to SDK Tools r9:
+
+

If you are upgrading to SDK Tools r9 from SDK Tools r7 or earlier, the default installed location +for the adb tool has changed from <SDK>/tools/adb to +<SDK>/platform-tools/adb. 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 adb executable from the new +location to the old is not recommended, since subsequent updates to the SDK +Tools will delete the file.

+
+ +
General notes:
+
+
    +
  • The default ProGuard configuration, proguard.cfg, now ignores the following classes: +
      +
    • classes that extend {@link android.preference.Preference}
      • +
    • classes that extend {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgentHelper}
      • +
    +
    • +
  • Ant lib rules now allow you to override java.encoding, java.source, + and java.target properties.
    • +
  • The default encoding for the javac Ant task is now UTF-8.
    • +
  • The LogCat view in DDMS now properly displays UTF-8 characters.
    • +
  • The SDK Manager is more reliable on Windows. For details on the improvements, see the + Android Tools Project Site.
    • +
  • If you enabled snapshots for an AVD, they are automatically captured. The emulator also now restores to the state when + it last closed almost instantly.
    • +
  • Fixed the missing JAR file error that prevented draw9patch from running.
    • +
  • Fixed the Windows launch scripts hierarchyviewer and ddms to support + the new location of adb.
