| 21.0.0 |
| * Bug fixes. |
| * JUnit test runner allows a test to be run on all devices |
| * XML code completion can now complete (and show documentation for) |
| theme references, such as ?android:attr/dividerHeight |
| * Improved flag and locale data in the configuration chooser |
| * New lint checks: |
| * Find misspellings in English string files |
| * Detect certain types of wakelock mistakes leading to unnecessary |
| battery usage |
| * Find private key files placed in directories where they end up |
| getting bundled with the .apk |
| * Find usages of "dp" units with the font property textSize |
| * Find invalid selector files where a later state is fully covered |
| by an earlier state and is therefore unreachable |
| * Find incorrect use of the SecureRandom object (where it is |
| initialized with a fixed seed) |
| Various lint infrastructure improvements. |
| |
| 20.0.0 |
| * A lot of bug fixes, performance fixes and memory fixes. |
| * Support for Eclipse 4.x. |
| * Build System |
| * Automatic merging of library project manifest files into the |
| including project's manifest. Enable with the |
| manifestmerger.enabled property. |
| * Automatic ProGuard support for the aapt -G flag. This means that |
| the build system will generate a temporary ProGuard keep-rules |
| file containing classes to keep that are referenced from XML files |
| (such as custom views) and pass this to ProGuard at |
| shrink-time. This can make the resulting APK much smaller when |
| using just a small portion of a large library project (such as the |
| Android Support library), since we have also removed the catch-all |
| rules to keep all custom views from the default ProGuard |
| configuration file. |
| * Aidl files from library projects are now in the import list. |
| * Fixes in Ant: |
| * Test projects now have access to the full classpath from the |
| tested projects, including Library Projects and 3rd party jar |
| * Applications embedding tests can now be deployed and tested, |
| including with code coverage, like test applications. |
| * Lint |
| * Tighter integration with the layout editor (error and warning |
| icons overlaid views with errors, lint error messages shown as |
| tooltips in the layout canvas and in the outline, error count |
| displayed in the layout actions bar.) |
| * Lint is run incrementally in Java files on save, just like XML |
| files already are. |
| * New lint rules: |
| * Detect usages of Toast.makeText() without calling show() on the |
| result, as well as passing invalid duration parameters (e.g. a |
| number instead of one of the two allowed constants.) |
| * Detect incorrect manifest registrations (where elements such as |
| <uses-library>, <activity> etc are placed under the wrong parent.) |
| * Several security checks: Look for exported content providers |
| without required permissions, look for creation of world readable |
| files and preferences, look for calls to |
| android.webkit.WebSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled. |
| * Check to make sure that Fragment classes are instantiatable. If |
| you accidentally make a fragment innerclass non-static, or forget |
| to have a default constructor, you can hit runtime errors when the |
| system attempts to reinstantiate your fragment after a |
| configuration change. |
| * Look for handler leaks: This check makes sure that a handler inner |
| class does not hold an implicit reference to its outer class. |
| * Duplicate Activity registrations in the manifest. This can lead to |
| subtle errors that can be difficult to understand. |
| * Lint check ensuring that when you edit() a SharedPreference object |
| you call commit() |
| * Layout Editor |
| * New property sheet implementation, which offers: |
| * Highlighting (in bold) for important attributes. |
| * Inline preview of colors and images, as well as the |
| corresponding resource name. |
| * Displays default values, when available. |
| * Completion of resource values and enum and flag constants. |
| * Support for showing and hiding "advanced" properties. |
| * Nested properties (and collapse all and expand all) for better |
| categorization. For example, layout params are listed first as a |
| single nested property. |
| * Tooltips over the attribute names, not values, so they never |
| obscure the value column. |
| * Checkbox support for boolean values. |
| * Support for switching between alphabetical and natural sort |
| orders. |
| * New window management. The propertysheet is now automatically |
| docked into the Outline view, and the outline can appear in a |
| maximized editor. The structure and palette views can be minimized |
| and appear temporarily on flyover. |
| * New configuration chooser above the layout editor, which in |
| addition to a visual refresh offers an activity chooser, a nested |
| theme chooser, a single button to flip orientation, better |
| wrapping behavior, etc. |
| * SDK Manager: |
| * Cache to avoid downloading repository definitions all the time. |
| * New "Tools > Manage Add-on Sites" option that allows deactivating |
| 3rd party sites (e.g. if one or more are temporarily slow to |
| load.) |
| * NDK integration (alpha): |
| * Initial support for building and debugging projects with C/C++ |
| code. |
| * To enable this, install the NDK feature (depends on CDT), and then |
| set the path to NDK in Android Preferences. |
| * Add NDK nature to an Android project by right clicking on the |
| project and select "Android Tools -> Add Native Support". |
| * To debug an NDK project, just right click and select "Debug As |
| Android Native Application". |
| * Execution |
| * LogCat: Allow users to set colors for different priorities |
| * LogCat: Ctrl + F now brings up a Find dialog to find items (rather |
| than filter) |
| * Allow running on multiple devices with a single launch. The target |
| tab in the launch configuration dialog adds a new option which |
| allows launching on all connected devices, and a drop down allows |
| the user to further narrow down the list to just physical devices |
| or just emulators. (This applies only to Run configurations, not |
| to Debug/JUnit tests.) |
| * XML Editing |
| * Code completion support for custom attributes on custom views. |
| * Go to Declaration now works for theme references (?android:attr, |
| ?attr: etc,) |
| * Completion of the minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion attributes in |
| manifest files now include version descriptions for each of the |
| API levels |
| * Support XML editor outlines for layout files. Switching back and |
| forth between the text editor and graphical editor will alternate |
| between the two outlines, and in particular the XML editor outline |
| will keep up to date with edits in the editor, and selection will |
| follow the mouse cursor etc. |
| * The Asset Studio Wizard now supports padding and disabling |
| background shapes |
| |
| 19.0.0 (does not exist) |
| |
| 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) |

| |
| 0.9.3: |
| - New wizard to create Android JUnit Test Projects. |
| - New AVD wizard. |
| - SDK Updater |

| 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 |

| /res directory. |
| - New checks on launch when attempting to debug on a device. |
| - Basic support for drag'n'drop in Graphical layout editor. You can |
| add new items by drag'n'drop from the palette. There is no support |
| for moving/resizing yet. |
| - Undo/redo support in all XML form editors and Graphical layout |
| editor. |
| |
| 0.8.0: |
| |
| - Fixed issue with using custom classes implementing Parcelable in |
| aidl files. Right click the project and choose Android Tools > |
| Create aidl preprocess file for Parcelable Classes. |
| - Added Custom Themes to theme drop down in the layout editor. |
| - Customizable debug signing keystore path in preferences |
| - Customizable HOME package name. |

| generated with R.java if the content of the AndroidManifest.xml |
| requires it) |
| - Fixed an issue that could result in not packaging code changes. |

| 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. |

| |
| - 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. |

| 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. |

| path for android.zip |
| - Package builder now supports custom application assets placed in |
| assets/ (which is now created automatically by the New Project |
| Wizard). |
