Changes for v4 support library:
+
+
    +
  • Added {@link android.support.v4.app.ShareCompat}, which provides helper classes +for sending and receiving content for social sharing applications, including new metadata for +attributing shared data to the source app. This class also provides compatible integration with the +new {@link android.widget.ShareActionProvider} in Android 4.0.
    • +
  • Added {@link android.support.v4.app.NavUtils} and {@link +android.support.v4.app.TaskStackBuilder} to provide support for implementing the +Android Design guidelines for navigation. These +additions include a way to implement the action bar's Up button across versions. +For an example implementation of this pattern, see the AppNavigation sample in +({@code <sdk>/samples/<platform>/AppNavigation}).
    • +
  • Added {@link android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat.Builder} to provide a +compatibility implementation of Android 3.0's {@link android.app.Notification.Builder} helper class +for creating standardized system notifications.

+ADT 17.0.0 (March 2012) +
+
+
Dependencies:
+ +
+
    +
  • Java 1.6 or higher is required for ADT 17.0.0.
    • +
  • Eclipse Helios (Version 3.6.2) or higher is required for ADT 17.0.0.
    • +
  • ADT 17.0.0 is designed for use with SDK Tools + r17. If you haven't already installed SDK Tools r17 into your SDK, use the Android SDK + Manager to do so.
    • +
+
+ +
General improvements:
+
+
    +
  • New build features +
      +
    • Added feature to automatically setup JAR dependencies. Any {@code .jar} files in the + {@code /libs} folder are added to the build configuration (similar to how the Ant build + system works). Also, {@code .jar} files needed by library projects are also automatically + added to projects that depend on those library projects.
      • +
    • Added a feature that allows you to run some code only in debug mode. Builds now +generate a class called {@code BuildConfig} containing a {@code DEBUG} constant that is +automatically set according to your build type. You can check the ({@code BuildConfig.DEBUG}) +constant in your code to run debug-only functions.
      • +
    • Added support for custom views with custom attributes in libraries. Layouts using +custom attributes must use the namespace URI {@code http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto} instead +of the URI that includes the app package name. This URI is replaced with the app specific one at +build time.
      • +
    +
    • +
  • Improved Lint features. See the SDK Tools r17 +release notes.
    • +
  • Improved the Lint user interface +
      +
    • Added Run Lint toolbar action with a dropdown menu for selecting +specific (or all) projects, clearing results and other actions.
      • +
    • Updated the results window to be 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 the issues you are most interested in.
      • +
    • Added many new toolbar actions to the results window, including expand/collapse, +ignore in file, ignore in project, ignore everywhere, show options, and configure columns.
      • +
    • Added new column options for the Lint Warnings tab, such as +category, priority, project, file and line. The column selection (as well as the column sizes) are +persisted. You can also click on columns to sort by those values.
      • +
    • Added Enable All and Disable All buttons to the Lint Options dialog, and a search +filter textbox to filter by issue id, summary and severity.
      • +
    +
    • +
  • Added Quick Outline for XML editors (Ctrl-O, Command-O). This feature shows the structure +of the current file including icons and ids, lets you filter and quickly jump to specific ids.
    • +
  • Updated the resource chooser to shows the resolved value for resources. For example, +when selecting {@code @string/hello} the chooser displays a resolved value such as "Hello World"). +The resource chooser also now allows you to edit the chosen value directly.
    • +
  • Updated Layout Editor so that it does not assign default ids to layouts, includes and +merge tags. This behavior tended to pollute the namespace with a lot of unused resources since +layouts are not usually manipulated via code, or referenced from XML. (The RelativeLayout editor +automatically assigns ids to views without ids when pointing to them.)
    • +
  • Added ability to export screenshots from the Layout Editor
    • +
+
+ +
Bug fixes:
+
+
    +
  • Fixed problem using Layout Editor with {@link android.widget.SlidingDrawer} which could + not be dragged into the layout on some platforms.
    • +
  • Fixed preview rendering for {@link android.widget.SlidingDrawer} and + {@link android.widget.TabHost}. + (Issue 23022).
    • +
  • Fixed issues that could prevent layout rendering due to unresolvable resources. + (Issue 21046, + Issue 21051)
    • +
  • Fixed a bug in resource chooser which made some types of framework resources impossible to +select. (Issue 20589)
    • +
  • Fixed a bug in the formatter where a certain whitespace pattern could result in a + non-space character getting deleted. + (Issue 23940)
    • +
  • Fixed a locale bug affecting Turkish locales in particular. + (Issue 23747)
    • +
  • Fixed issue where dex complains about duplicate classes in cases where a Library + Project depends on the same jar files or Java-only projects.
    • +
  • Fixed issue where test projects had to independently reference the library projects used + by an app project. Now referencing only the app project is enough.

    • Added viewing of live detailed network usage of an app in DDMS. (more info)
      • +
    • ProGuard +
        +
      • Updated the bundled ProGuard tool to version 4.7. In addition to many new features, +this update fixes the {@code Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1} error some users have +experienced.
        • +
      • Updated the default {@code proguard.cfg} file with better default flags for + Android.
        • +
      • Split the ProGuard configuration file has been in half, with project specific flags +kept in project and the generic Android flags distributed (and updated) with the tools +themselves.
        • +
      +
      • +
    • Build +
        +
      • Added a feature that allows you to run some code only in debug mode.

You can check the ({@code BuildConfig.DEBUG}) +constant in your code to run debug-only functions.
        • +
      • Fixed issue when a project and its libraries include the same jar file in their libs + folder.
        • +
      • Added support for custom views with custom attributes in libraries. Layouts using +custom attributes must use the namespace URI {@code http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto} instead +of the URI that includes the app package name. This URI is replaced with the app specific one at +build time.
        • +
      +

    • Lint +

      • Added support for checking library projects. This change means that rules such as +the unused resource check properly handle resources declared in a library project and referenced in +a downstream project.

      • Added ability to suppress Lint warnings in Java code with the new +{@code @SuppressLint} annotation, and in XML files with the new tools: namespace and +ignore attribute. (more info)
