In addition to many new features, - this will fix the "Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1" - error some users have experienced. -* The default proguard.cfg file has been updated with better - flags. -* Lint now checks Java code, and checks which previously performed - pattern based searches in the Java code (such as the unused resource - check) have been rewritten to use the more accurate Java parse - trees. -* Lint supports library projects, so for example the unused resource - check will properly handle resources declared in a library project - and referenced in a downstream project. -* Lint warnings can be suppressed in Java code with the new - @SuppressLint annotation, and in XML files with the new tools: - namespace and ignore-attribute. -* New lint checks: - * Find Android API calls that require a version of Android higher - than the minimum supported version. You can use the new @TargetApi - annotation to specify local overrides for conditionally loaded - code. - * Find object allocations within onDraw, onMeasure and onLayout - calls - * Find usages of HashMap<Integer,X> which can be replaced by the - more efficient SparseArray, SparseIntArray or SparseBooleanArray - * Find typos in XML namespace declarations, as well as unused custom - namespace declarations and usages of custom namespaces in library - projects which do not yet work - * Find manifest files which declare more than one <uses-sdk> - elements, or which fail to declare minSdkVersion or - targetSdkVersion - * Check dialog button order such that OK/Cancel are in the right - order (depending on the target version of Android), that they are - using the standard case ("OK", not "Ok" or "ok" etc), and that - there aren't any Back buttons. - * Check menus to ensure that they are using "ifRoom" instead of - "always" for the showAsAction attribute (unless it's used - sparingly) - * Find hardcoded android:debuggable attributes on <application> - elements. This can lead to accidentally leaving debug information - in published applications. - * Find errors in format strings. This includes inconsistencies - between translated versions, as well as incompatible types - declared in XML and supplied in the String.format call in Java. - * Find incorrect casts in Java code where the cast is incompatible - with the view type declared in XML layouts. - * Find hardcoded references to "/sdcard" in Java code; these should - be using Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() - instead - * Find "import android.R" statements in Java code, which can lead to - confusing compilation error messages - * Find Java code which creates world-writeable files (which can lead - to security problems) - * Find references to private resources (which can lead to runtime - errors on devices that do not provide the resource, since private - resources may disappear any time, and may not be present on all - platforms.) - * Find invalid @id references (where for example a RelativeLayout - references an id that does not exist anywhere). If no match is - found, it looks for spelling mistakes and suggests other similar - ids in the error message. - * Finds method calls to java.lang.Math where a float variable is - cast to a double and/or the return value is cast to a float, and - suggests replacing it with the equivalent android.util.FloatMath - method. - * Finds calls to a getter on the same class where a field could be - accessed instead. - * Find XML files using a different encoding format than UTF-8, since - this can lead to subtle bugs (and lint was fixed to properly use - the specified encoding) - * Find XML resource files that contain text which should not be - there (such as in layouts). This can identify accidentally - malformed documents which happen to be valid XML, such as a - missing "<" tag opening character. - * Find style references which lead to cycles, such as extending - self. - -Revision 16: -* New "lint" tool which scans Android project trees 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. For a full list of available issues run - "lint --show" (and see eclipse/changes.txt for further details). -* layoutopt was removed; its functionality is replaced by the new lint - tool - -Revision 14: - -- Build performance improvements: - * resource compilation and packaging now properly use dependency to only - be executed if a resource changed. - * Optimized resource compilation for projects with libraries. This should - speed up this phase significantly for large projects with libraries. - * PNG files that are optimized during resource packaging are now cached - and only re-optimized if they changed instead of doing at every build. -- New library project mechanism: - * - -Revision 13: - -Revision 12: (07/2011): -- The AVD manager and emulator can now use system images compiled for ARM v7 and - x86 CPUs. - -Revision 11 (05/2011): -- See eclipse/changes.txt for ADT related changes. - -Revision 10 (02/2011): -- The tools now automatically generate Java Programming Language - source files (in the gen directory) and bytecode (in the res/raw - directory) from your native .rs files - -Revision 9 (01/2011): -- Fix packaging issue that broke draw9patch -- Ant build rules will now check the Ant version and fail if it's older than 1.8 -- Fix "folder locked" errors when installing packages in SDK Manager on Windows. -- Support https proxy when installing from SDK Manager. -- SDK Manager now suggests to install missing base platform for add-ons. -- Default proguard config file changes: - * ignore classes extending android.preference.Preference - * ignore classes extending android.app.backup.BackupAgentHelper -- Ant lib rules now allow for overriding java.encoding, java.source, and java.target -- Default encoding for Ant javac is now UTF-8 -- Logcat view in DDMS now properly displays UTF-8 characters. - - -Revision 8 (12/2010): -- New SDK component: platform-tools. This makes all platforms use the same - latest version of aapt/aidl/dx. -- Support for true debug build. No need to change the value of debuggable in - the Android Manifest. - "ant debug" will automatically insert debuggable==true, while "ant release" - will not. - If debuggable=true is set, then "ant release" 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. -- new overridable Ant javac properties: java.encoding, java.source, and java.target - (default to "ascii", "1.5" and "1.5") - - -Revision 7 (09/2010): -- Support for Ant rules provided by the Tools components (override the one in - the platform component) -- Added support for libraries with library dependencies. -- Support for aidl files in library projects. -- Support for extension targets in Ant build to perform tasks between the - normal tasks: -pre-build, -pre-compile, -post-compile. -- Headless SDK update. See 'android -h update sdk' for more info. -- Fixed location control in DDMS to work in any locale not using '.' as a - decimal point. - - -Revision 6 (05/2010) -- Support for library project to share code/resources among projects - - Updated Ant rules and custom tasks - - New "android create lib-project", "android update lib-project" actions. - - New parameter for "android update project" - - -Revision 5 (03/2010): -- AVD/SDK Manager: - - Fixed SSL download for the standalone version of the SDK Updater. - - Fixed issue with 64bit JVM on windows. - - Add support for samples components. - - improved support for dependency between components. - - AVDs now sorted by API level. - - Prevent deletion of running AVDs. - - Settings are now automatically saved, no need to click Apply. -- Emulator now requires sd card to be 9MB and above. -- Fixed layoutopt.bat to correctly execute on Windows. - |
