19.0.0 18.0.0 * Fix bug 27940 where exporting release package doesn't recompile libraries in release mode. 17.0.0: * ADT 17 requires Java 6 and Eclipse 3.6.2. * Improved Lint UI. * Many new lint checks: See the tools changes.txt for details. * New "Run Lint" toolbar action with a dropdown menu for selecting specific (or all) projects, clearing results, etc. * The results window is now organized as a tree rather than a flat list. Each issue type has a single top level item, which makes it easier to quickly scan through the reported issues and narrow down to issues you are most interested in. * The results window contains many new toolbar actions, including expand/collapse, ignore in file, ignore in project, ignore everywhere, show options, and configure columns. * There are new columns available, such as category, priority, project, file and line. The column selection (as well as the column sizes) are persisted. You can click on columns to sort by that column. * The Lint Options dialog has Enable All and Disable All buttons, and a search filter textbox to filter by issue id, summary and severity. * New Quick Outline for XML editors (Ctrl-O, Command-O). This shows the structure of the current file including icons and ids, and lets you filter and quickly jump to specific ids. * The resource chooser now shows the resolved value for resources (e.g. when selecting @string/hello it displays that the resolved value is "Hello World"). It also allows editing the chosen value directly. * The layout editor no longer assigns default ids to layouts, includes and merge tags. This tended to pollute the namespace with a lot of unused resources since layouts aren't usually manipulated via code, or referenced from XML. (The RelativeLayout editor automatically assigns ids to views without ids when pointing to them.) * Export Screenshot from the Layout Editor * Layout editor fix for SlidingDrawer which on some platforms could not be dragged into the layout. Also fix preview rendering for SlidingDrawer and TabHost (issue 23022). * New default application icons, including an xhdpi version. * Important bug fixes: * Fix bug in resource chooser which made some types of framework resources impossible to select (issue 20589) * Fix a bug in the formatter where a certain whitespace pattern could result in a non-space character getting deleted (issue 23940) * Fix locale bug affecting Turkish locales in particular (issue 23747) 16.0.0: * New "lint" feature which scans the Android projects for potential problems such as missing translations, duplicate ids between layouts that include each other, using px instead of dp units, hardcoded strings, missing contentDescriptions, obsolete Proguard configuration files, etc. Lint can be run on the command line, but it is also integrated into the Problems view in Eclipse, and there are also quickfixes available for many of the reported errors. 15.0.0 Critical bug fixes only. 14.0.0 - Build system: - (TODO: More info) Improved library projects - Improved incremental builds - Resource compilation is run much less frequently. It is no longer run when strings are edited, or when layouts are edited (unless a new id is introduced), and it is no longer run once per library project (!) - Resource compilation is no longer done for normal save operations, only when running or debugging (option added in ADT 12 now on by default.) - There is a new "PNG crunch cache", which means image crunching is only done once, not once per build which is significant for projects with many resources - Incremental ant builds - ADT now uses bin/classes to output the java compilation and bin/ for Android specific classes. This will make bin show up in the package explorer. - DDMS - Brand new logcat view. Fixes bugs, displays and filters by application names instead of just pids, fronts when application runs. - XML Editing - New XML formatter which formats all XML files according to the standard Android coding style. The formatter can also reorder attributes to follow the recommended order. - Improved "smart indent": automatic indentation and un-indentation when pressing Return in XML editors - Go to Matching (Ctrl-Shift-P) in XML files can now jump between opening and closing tags - Changes made by the layout editor are automatically run through the new XML formatter. - Select Enclosing Element should now work on the Mac as well. - Java Editing - Quickfix for extracting Strings when the caret is inside a String - Layout Editor - New GridLayout support - Tooltip feedback for resizing and dragging operations. For example, when dragging in a relative layout, the proposed constraints are shown, and when resizing the new dimensions are shown. - New "Remove Container" visual refactoring which removes the children of a container up to the top level and transfers namespace and layout attributes if necessary. - Improved access to properties in the context menu: The most frequently set attributes for each view are listed at the top of the menu, and the properties menu offers access to the most recently set attributes, attributes organized by their defining view, and layout attributes only or all attributes alphabetically. - The context menu now also contains pull-right menus for accessing properties of the parents, which is useful when the children fully cover the parent making it hard to select on its own. - Ability to suppress rendering fidelity warnings. - Asset Studio integration: Wizard creation of launcher icons, menu icons, tab icons, etc. - New Welcome Wizard to help installing and configuring the SDK platforms. - The New Project and the New XML File wizards have been reworked into multiple pages. Sample Projects are now copied into the workspace such that they can be modified and deleted without affecting the master copy. - The dependency on Eclipse GEF was removed. - Many bug fixes, and in particular some critical bug fixes on Linux 13.0.0 - Tools release only (command line tools) 12.0.0 (July 6th, 2011) - Many bug fixes! - Visual Layout Editor: - New RelativeLayout drop support with guideline suggestions for attachments and cycle prevention. - Resize support in most layouts. In LinearLayout, sizes are mapped to weights. Guideline snapping to wrap_content and match_parent. - Previews of drawables and colors in the resource chooser dialogs. - Improved error messages and links for rendering errors, including detection of misspellings of class names. - Build system: Delay post compiler phase until actual export or debug to speed up interactive file saves. (This is off by default but can be enabled in the ADT options panel.) 11.0.0 (June 6th, 2011) - Visual Refactoring: - The new "Extract Style" refactoring pulls out style constants and defines them as style rules instead. - The new "Wrap in Container" refactoring surrounds the selected views with a new layout, and transfers namespace and layout parameters to the new parent - The new "Change Widget Type" refactoring changes the type of the selected views to a new type. (Also, a new selection context menu in the visual layout editor makes it easy to select siblings as well as views anywhere in the layout that have the same type). - The new "Change Layout" refactoring changes layouts from one type to another, and can also flatten a layout hierarchy. - The "Extract as Include" refactoring now finds identical fragments in other layouts and offers to combine all into a single include. - There is a new Refactoring Quick Assistant which can be invoked from the XML editor (with Ctrl-1) to apply any of the above refactorings (and Extract String) to the current selection. - Visual Layout Editor: - Improved "rendering fidelity": The layout preview has been improved and should more closely match the rendering on actual devices. - The visual editor now previews ListViews at designtime. By default, a two-line list item is shown, but with a context menu you can pick any arbitrary layout to be used for the list items, and you can also pick the header and footer layouts. - The palette now supports "configurations" where a single view is presented in various different configurations. For example, there is a whole "Textfields" palette category where the EditText view can be dragged in as a password field, an e-mail field, a phone field, and so on. Similarly, TextViews are offered preconfigured with large, normal and small theme sizes, and LinearLayouts are offered both in horizontal and vertical configurations. - The palette supports custom views, picking up any custom implementations of the View class in your project source folders or in included libraries, and these can be dragged into layouts. - Fragments support: Fragments are available in the palette, and in the tool you can choose which layout to show rendered for a given fragment tag. Go to declaration works for fragment classes. - The layout editor automatically applies a "zoom to fit" for newly opened files as well as on device size and orientation changes to ensure that large layouts are always fully visible unless you manually zoom in. - You can drop an "include" tag from the palette, which will pop up a layout chooser, and the chosen layout is added as an include. Similarly, dropping images or image buttons will pop up image resource choosers to initialize the new image with. - The configuration chooser now applies the "Render Target" and "Locale" settings project wide, making it trivial to check the layouts for different languages or render targets without having to configure these individually for each layout. - The layout editor is smarter about picking a default theme to render a layout with, consulting factors like theme registrations in the manifest, the SDK version, etc. - The layout editor is also smarter about picking a default configuration to render a layout with, defaulting to the currently visible configuration in the previous file. It also considers the SDK target to determine whether to default to a tablet or phone screen size. - Basic focus support: The first text field dropped in a layout is assigned focus, and there are "Request Focus" and "Clear Focus" context menu items on text fields to change the focus. - XML editors: - Code completion has been significantly improved. It now works within <style> elements, it completes dimensional units, it sorts resource paths in values based on the attribute name, etc. There are also many fixes to handle text replacement. - AAPT errors are handled better. They are now underlined for the relevant range in the editor, and a new quickfix makes it trivial to create missing resources. - Code completion for drawable, animation and color XML files. - DDMS: - "New Folder" action in the File Explorer - The screenshot dialog will add timestamps to the filenames, and preserve the orientation on snapshot refresh - TraceView: Mouse-wheel zoom support in the timeline - The New Android Project wizard now supports Eclipse working sets - Most of the tools have improved integration with the Mac OSX system menu bar. - Most of the tools have new launcher icons. 10.0.1 (March, 2011) - Temporary work-around to resolve the rare cases in which the layout editor will not open. - Fix issue in which ADT 10.0.0 would install on Eclipse 3.4 and lower, even though ADT requires Eclipse 3.5 or higher (as of 10.0.0). 10.0.0 (February 22nd, 2011) - The tools now automatically generate Java Programming Language source files (in the gen/ directory) and bytecode (in the res/raw/ directory) from your .rs files. - A Binary XML editor has been added. - Traceview is now integrated into the Eclipse UI. - The "Go To Declaration" feature for XML and .java files quickly show all the matches in the project and allows you jump to specific items such as string translations or onClick handlers. - The Resource Chooser can create items such as dimensions, integers, ids, and booleans. - Improvements to the Visual Layout Editor: - A new Palette with categories and rendering previews. - A Layout Actions bar that provides quick access to common layout operations. - When the Android 3.0 rendering library is selected, layouts render more like they do on devices. This includes rendering of status and title bars to more accurately reflect the actual screen space available to applications. - Zoom improvements such as fit to view, persistent scale, and keyboard access.. - Further improvements to <merge> layouts, as well as layouts with gesture overlays. - Improved rendering error diagnostics. 9.0.0 (January 26, 2011) - Visual Layout Editor - Empty layouts with 0,0 size are now automatically expanded when selected and during drag and drop - Rendering target can now be changed from the default (project target) - When choosing resources for rendering, the API level is properly handled - Improved support for rendering <include> and <merge> views - "Extract as Include" refactoring to extract selected views into a separate included layout. - String and reference properties can be edited from the layout editor's context menu - Rewritten outline drag & drop handling, improved label colors and content - The generated XML will be better formatted. Full XML formatter can be enabled in the preferences (under Android > Editors), but will touch part of the XML that isn't modified. - Automatic configuration of many widgets on drop, such as automatically filling a TextView in a vertical LinearLayout, adding rows to new tables, etc. - Double click views to jump to the corresponding XML declaration, or for included views, to the included layout file - Improved support for various views (such as TabHosts and SlidingDrawers) when rendered using Honeycomb - Go to Declaration hyperlinks for navigating from @resource references to their XML declarations, from the manifest file to activity and service classes, from Java access of resource R fields to the XML declarations, etc. - Logcat view in DDMS now properly displays UTF-8 characters. 8.0.1 (October 2010) - Fix compilation issue in Android projects referencing standard Java projects. - Better error reporting when exporting applications for release. 8.0.0 (October 2010) - New version number scheme following the SDK Tools revision number. - Support for true debug build. No need to change the value of debuggable in the Android Manifest. Incremental build will automatically insert debuggable==true while using the "export signed/unsigned application package" will not. If debuggable=true is set, then release builds will actually do a debug build. - Automatic Proguard support in release builds. Only need to have a proguard.config property in default.properties that points to a proguard config file. - Completely rewritten Visual Layout Editor. This is very much a work in progress. - full drag and drop from palette to layout for all Layout classes. - Move widgets inside a Layout view, from one Layout view to another and from one layout file to another. - Contextual menu with enum/flag type properties. - New zoom controls. - New HierarchyViewer plug-in integrated in Eclipse. - Android launch configurations don't recompile the whole workspace on launch anymore. - android.jar source and javadoc location can now be configured. 0.9.9: - Fix bug where ADT would delete the source folder of projects imported from version control. 0.9.8: - New Action "Rename Application Package" (under the "Android Tools" contextual menu) will do a full application package refatoring. - Fixed issue with library project names containing characters that aren't compatible with Eclipse path variable. The link between the main project and the library would fail to create. - Added support for library projects that don't have a source folder called "src". There is now support for any number of source folder, with no name restriction. They can even be in sub folder such as "src/java". - Added support for libraries with library dependencies. - added support for new resource qualifiers: car/desk, night/notnight and navexposed/navhidden - Added more device screen types for the layout editor. All screen resolution/density combinations from http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#range is now available. 0.9.7: - Support for library projects - Updated Property panel for Android project to edit library dependencies. 0.9.6: - Editing default.properties outside of eclipse will automatically update the project - Fix issue when launching ADT the first time with the SDK Usage panel that could create a deadlock between modal dialogs - Launched applications from ADT now behave as if they were clicked from the Home screen of the emulator. - AVD creation dialog now enforce sd card of 9MB or higher - Fixed issue where add-on with no optional library would not show up as valid targets for application launches. - Loads the SDK content only when a project requires it. This will make Eclipse use less resources when the SDK contains many versions of Android. - DDMS plug-in now contains the Allocation Tracker view. - Lots of fixes in the configuration selector of the Visual Layout Editor. - Explode mode in the Visual Layout Editor adds a margin to all layout objects so that it's easier to see embedded layouts - Outline mode in the Visual Layout Editor draws layout outline to make it easier to see layout objects. - Fixed issues with the New Project Wizard when selecting samples. - Fixed possible crash when launching applications - New action in the Logcat view: "Go to problem" lets you go directly from an exception trace output to the code. 0.9.5: - Misc fixes in the SDK Updater 0.9.4: - New "Create project from sample" choice in the New Project Wizard. - Improvements to the SDK Updater. - improvements to the AVD Manager (creation and launch dialogs) - new configuration selector in the Graphical Layout Editor 0.9.3: - New wizard to create Android JUnit Test Projects. - New AVD wizard. - SDK Updater - zipalign support 0.9.1: - Added an AVD creation wizard to ADT. It is automatically displayed during a launch if no compatible AVDs are found. - Fixed issue with libs/ folder where files with no extension would prevent the build from finishing. - Improved error handling during the final steps of the build to mark the project if an unexpected error prevent the build from finishing. - Fixed issue when launching ADT on a clean install would trigger org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: Not implemented [multiple displays]. 0.9.0: - Projects now store generated Java files (R.java/Manifest.java and output from aidl) in a 'gen' source folder. - Support for the new Android SDK with support for multiple versions of the Android platform and for vendor supplied add-ons. * New Project Wizard lets you choose which platform/add-on to target. * Project properties (right click project in Package Explorer, then "Properties"), lets you edit project target. * New Launch configuration option to choose debug deployment target. - Ability to export multiple apk from one project, using resource filters. See the 'android' property for Android projects. - Support for running JUnit tests on a device/emulator from a new "Android JUnit tests" launch configuration. 0.8.1: - Alternate Layout wizard.

Also fixed support for custom process names. 0.6.0: - New launch option for activity. Can choose to launch default activity (finds an activity configured to show up in the home screen), or specific activity, or none. - Normal java resources (non java files placed in package folders) are now properly packaged in the final package, and can be accessed through normal java API such as ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream() - Launch configuration now has an option to wipe emulator data on launch. This always asks for confirmation. - Launch configuration now has an option to disable the boot animation. This will let the emulator start faster on older computers. - Applications are now signed with a debug key (stored in debug.keystore in ~/.android). - Installation of application is now more robust and will notify of installation failure. Also installation is blocking, removing issues where ADT tried to launch the activity before the app was installed. - Tree-based resource editor + content assist in XML editor for layout, menu, preferences, values xml files. Work in progress... 0.4.0 (adt 0.4.0, ddms 0.3.0, editors 0.2.0, common 0.1.0) - New AndroidManifest editor. - True multiple device support allowing debugging apps on several device at the same time - New launch modes for device selection: automatic will launch an emulator if no device are present, automatically target the device if only one exists, and prompt the user if 2+ are connected. Manual mode always prompt the user. - New classpath container remove the dependencies on the location of android.jar making it easier to share a project through dsvn, cvs, etc... You should fix your project (right click project, choose Android > Fix Project properties) - Fixed a case where pm would fail and would up end outputting the "usage" text, which would in turn confuse the plugin during parsing. - Fixed an issue with compiling aidl file when they import project local files. 0.3.4 (adt 0.3.4, ddms 0.2.3, editors 0.1.0) Internal release only. - Enabled device support. 0.3.3 (adt 0.3.3, ddms 0.2.3, editors 0.1.0) - Support for referenced projects. - During launch, display if a package conflict occurs when the new application is pushed onto the device. - You can now change the font of the logcat view. Also indentation is now properly displayed. - Plugin generated files are now properly marked as derived. This will make Team plugins ignore them. 0.3.2 - XML Highlighting for AndroidManifest.xml (requires WebTools WST plugin) - Custom java editor for R.java/Manifest.java to make those files non editable. This is to replace the current locking mechanism which causes issues on Mac OS. - Fixed some issue in the "Restart adb" feature in the device view of ddms. - Better handling of aidl files and the java files generated from them. - Plugin now retries to launch the app on the emulator if it fails due to timing issues. - Skin dropdown in the Emulator/Target tabs is now build from the content of the skin directory, to support developer made skins. - Emulator control panel.

This will require you to reset your perspectives. - Error during builds now put an error marker on the project instead of displaying an (annoying) dialog box. - Custom builders now remember their build state when restarting eclipse. - Properly parse some aapt warnings and don't abort the build when they happen. - Abort launch and prompt the user if the project contains errors. - New silent/normal/verbose build output. 0.2.5 - Check compiler compliance level before compilation and abort if different from 1.5 - Fix Project Properties will fix the project compiler compliance if needed. - Fixed an issue with multiple source folders. - Added support for new Manifest.java class (it is automatically generated with R.java if the content of the AndroidManifest.xml requires it) - Fixed an issue that could result in not packaging code changes. - Automatic fix of the Launch Configurations when the java package in the manifest is changed. Also improved Launch Config dialog and error alert for erroneous activity names in the Launch Configuration. - Support for external jars that are not under the project root directory. - New projects have a default layout. - Misc fixes for Windows support. 0.2.4 - Fixed large resource corruption issue. 0.2.3 - Fixed issue related to the integration of dx. - Fixed issue related to the package generation that was modified for windows support. 0.2.2 - Changing the SDK location in the Preferences does not require to restart Eclipse anymore. - New SDK-Project sync mode in Android preference pane. Default value set to true. If true, all android projects are automatically sync'ed to the SDK defined in the preferences. - Cases where no emulator is running but a dialog still says "An emulator is running..." should be less frequent. - Projects do not reference the standard desktop JRE anymore, as android.zip contains the core java library. This will solve the case where using a core class non present on the platform would not generate a compilation error. - Changing the package defined in the manifest now deletes the R.java class from its previous location. This will require 1 build after upgrading the plugin, before it works. - Project selection in the Launch Config Dialog now only shows Android projects. - Launching a debug/run session now checks that the project uses the SDK set in the preferences (This is for the non automatic sync mode). - Removed obsolete wallpaper mode in the New Project Creation Wizard. - dx (dalvik code conversion tool) now embedded instead of calling the external version. - Improvements in the parsing of the aapt errors. - Some fixes for windows support. 0.2.1 - Fixed bug in logcat search where invalid regexp would cause a crash - Minor improvements to the build/launch process. 0.2.0 - Logcat view. - File Explorer view. - Custom options for emulator. In the Launch configuration dialog you can specify custom command line emulator options. See "emulator -help" for available options. - Android Tools > Export Application Package is now implemented. - Misc incremental builder fixes. - Including static .jar files as library in your project will automatically include them in the final APK. Warning: only the .class content is included. 0.1.10 - The res and assets folders now fully refresh before the build, ensuring R.java and packaged resources are always up to date. This can be disabled in the preferences under "Android" if this becomes slow due to too many files. 0.1.9 - New Action in the "Processes" view to debug an application that is already running. The source project for this application MUST be opened in the current workspace. - Building the project now force refreshes the res folder. This should help rebuilding the resources when only binary files were changed from outside eclipse. - Clean/full builds now compile all aidl files found in the build path (previously only incremental builds would compile them). Also, misc improvements to the incremental builders. - Starting a run/debug session now asks to save the files and forces a new build to ensure that the latest package is pushed on the device. - Plugin should be less aggressive when waiting for the emulator to be ready. This should translate in fewer failed launches. 0.1.8 - Fixed Debugger issue introduced in 0.1.6 - Added Log level preferences for DDMS. Look under Android > DDMS > Advanced. Default error level is Error. 0.1.7 - Fixed issue where java warnings wouldn't trigger a new package. Now only errors stop the packaging like it should be. - Added more error output in the console during launch. 0.1.6 - New "Android" Console. It receives the error output from external tools such and aidl, dx, and aapt (only when they can't be parsed). Any error force the console to be displayed. - The Activity Manager on the device/emulator now outputs some messages in the "Android" console when asked to start an activity. This should help you figure out what is wrong if the application doesn't start. - Fixed a case where the .apk file would be updated with broken code. Now if there are java compile error, the .apk is not touched. - Added support for manifest with non fully qualified activity java name, yet not starting with a dot. - Fixed creation of manifest files (through New Project wizard) to use proper namespace for attributes. - Better error reporting for namespace issue in the manifest. - "Reset Adb" action from the device view. Use this is the plugin tells you an emulator is running when there are none. - New "ddms" Console which receives the standard output of ddms. 0.1.5 - Support for new activity declaration inside AndroidManifest.xml - fixed issue that prevented bin/ to be removed from the buildpath when converting project. 0.1.4 - Changes in the Manifest, now properly trigger a new package of the resources. 0.1.3 - Fixed the "fix project properties" action to remove old framework libraries, just not add new ones. 0.1.2 - aidl builder. The Android Resources PreBuilder now also converts aidl files into java files. - New Project wizard now allows to make Wallpaper activities instead of gadgets (which are obsolete.) - Launch shortcuts. Right click in the package explorer allow you to launch the application in debug or run mode directly without creating launch configurations. - New project wizard and Project conversion now sets up the java doc path for android.zip - Package builder now supports custom application assets placed in assets/ (which is now created automatically by the New Project Wizard). - New action: Android Tools > Fix Project Properties, in the package explorer contextual menu. This allows you to fix the framework path (and its javadoc path) in case you change the sdk location. 0.1.1 - Fixed project convertor to add the framework library if missing. 0.1.0 - New project wizard. - Python script-generated project convertor. - Incremental builders. - XML validation for resource files. - Android Launch Configuration.
