With the guided project setup it provides, as well as tools 28 integration, custom XML editors, and debug output pane, ADT gives you an 29 incredible boost in developing Android applications. </p> 30 31 <p>This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to download the ADT 32 plugin and install it into your Eclipse development environment. Note that 33 before you can install or use ADT, you must have compatible versions of both the 34 Eclipse IDE and the Android SDK installed.

This change causes 288 the build system to generate a temporary ProGuard keep-rules file containing classes that 289 are referenced from XML files (such as custom views) and pass this to ProGuard at shrink-time. This 290 can make the resulting APK much smaller when using just a small portion of a large library project 291 (such as the Android Support library), since the catch-all rules to keep all custom views from the 292 default ProGuard configuration file have also been removed.</li> 293 </ul> 294 </li> 295 <li>Added support building and debugging NDK-based Android projects.</li> 296 </li> 297 <li>Added support to the Asset Studio Wizard for padding and turning off background 298 shapes.</li> 299 <li>Improved LogCat to allow developers to set colors for different priorities.</li> 300 <li>Improved app Run functionality to allow running on multiple devices with a single launch. 301 The target tab in the launch configuration dialog includes an option to allow launching on all 302 connected devices, with the option to further narrow the list to just physical devices or just 303 emulators.

Any {@code .jar} files in the 383 {@code /libs} folder are added to the build configuration (similar to how the Ant build 384 system works). Also, {@code .jar} files needed by library projects are also automatically 385 added to projects that depend on those library projects. 386 (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/dealingwithdependenciesinandroidprojects">more 387 info</a>)</li> 388 <li>Added a feature that allows you to run some code only in debug mode. Builds now 389 generate a class called {@code BuildConfig} containing a {@code DEBUG} constant that is 390 automatically set according to your build type. You can check the ({@code BuildConfig.DEBUG}) 391 constant in your code to run debug-only functions.</li> 392 <li>Added support for custom views with custom attributes in libraries. Layouts using 393 custom attributes must use the namespace URI {@code http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto} instead 394 of the URI that includes the app package name. This URI is replaced with the app specific one at 395 build time.</li> 396 </ul> 397 </li> 398 <li>Improved Lint features.

Each 405 issue type has a single top level item, which makes it easier to quickly scan through the reported 406 issues and narrow down to the issues you are most interested in.</li> 407 <li>Added many new toolbar actions to the results window, including expand/collapse, 408 ignore in file, ignore in project, ignore everywhere, show options, and configure columns.</li> 409 <li>Added new column options for the <strong>Lint Warnings</strong> tab, such as 410 category, priority, project, file and line. The column selection (as well as the column sizes) are 411 persisted. You can also click on columns to sort by those values.</li> 412 <li>Added Enable All and Disable All buttons to the Lint Options dialog, and a search 413 filter textbox to filter by issue id, summary and severity.</li> 414 </ul> 415 </li> 416 <li>Added Quick Outline for XML editors (Ctrl-O, Command-O). This feature shows the structure 417 of the current file including icons and ids, lets you filter and quickly jump to specific ids.</li> 418 <li>Updated the resource chooser to shows the resolved value for resources. For example, 419 when selecting {@code @string/hello} the chooser displays a resolved value such as "Hello World"). 420 The resource chooser also now allows you to edit the chosen value directly.</li> 421 <li>Updated Layout Editor so that it does not assign default ids to layouts, includes and 422 merge tags. This behavior tended to pollute the namespace with a lot of unused resources since 423 layouts are not usually manipulated via code, or referenced from XML. (The RelativeLayout editor 424 automatically assigns ids to views without ids when pointing to them.)</li> 425 <li>Added ability to export screenshots from the Layout Editor</li> 426 </ul> 427 </dd> 428 429 <dt>Bug fixes:</dt> 430 <dd> 431 <ul> 432 <li>Fixed problem using Layout Editor with {@link android.widget.SlidingDrawer} which could 433 not be dragged into the layout on some platforms.</li> 434 <li>Fixed preview rendering for {@link android.widget.SlidingDrawer} and 435 {@link android.widget.TabHost}. 436 (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23022">Issue 23022</a>).</li> 437 <li>Fixed issues that could prevent layout rendering due to unresolvable resources. 438 (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=21046">Issue 21046</a>, 439 <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=21051">Issue 21051</a>)</li> 440 <li>Fixed a bug in resource chooser which made some types of framework resources impossible to 441 select.

That is, a single 812 view is presented in various different configurations that you can drag into your layout. For 813 example, there is a <em>Text Fields</em> palette category where you can drag an {@link 814 android.widget.EditText} widget in as a password field, an e-mail field, a phone field, or other 815 types of text boxes.

For example, the width of an {@link android.widget.EditText} object is set to 1043 <code>match_parent</code> when added to a vertical {@link android.widget.LinearLayout} 1044 or a default image is added to an {@link android.widget.ImageButton}.</li> 1045 <li>Previews during dragging: Dragging from the palette or dragging within the layout editor 1046 now shows live previews of the dragged item.</li> 1047 <li>Navigation improvements: In the Layout Editor, double-clicking Views jumps to the 1048 corresponding XML element. In the Outline view, double-clicking opens the Properties view.</li> 1049 <li>The editor has Honeycomb style animation preview support.</li> 1050 <li>Improved rendering support for various Views (such as TabHosts and SlidingDrawers) in 1051 Honeycomb (Issues <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3162">3162</a> 1052 and <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13092">13092</a>).</li> 1053 <li>Included layouts can be rendered and edited in the context of the layouts that include 1054 them. From a layout using an <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html#include-element"> 1055 <code><include></code></a> tag, double-clicking on the 1056 <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html#include-element"> 1057 <code><include></code></a> element edits the referenced layout in the context of the 1058 current layout. Additionally, when editing a layout that is included by other layouts, 1059 you can quickly change between context layouts, by right clicking in the editor and choosing 1060 <strong>Show included in...</strong>.
