This 1012 can make the resulting APK much smaller when using just a small portion of a large library project 1013 (such as the Android Support library), since the catch-all rules to keep all custom views from the 1014 default ProGuard configuration file have also been removed.</li> 1015 <li>Added two ProGuard configuration files for use in projects: {@code 1016 proguard-android-optimize.txt} which enables optimizations and {@code proguard-android.txt} which 1017 disables them.</li> 1018 </ul> 1019 </li> 1020 <li>SDK Manager 1021 <ul> 1022 <li>Improved caching to reduce downloading of repository definitions.</li> 1023 <li>Added <strong>Tools > Manage Add-on Sites</strong> option to improve performance by 1024 allowing temporary deactivation of third-party sites if they are loading slowly.</li> 1025 <li>Added settings for the SDK Manager download cache (<strong>SDK Manager > Tools > 1026 Options</strong>).</li> 1027 </ul> 1028 </li> 1029 </ul> 1030 </dd> 1031 <dt>Bug fixes:</dt> 1032 <dd> 1033 <ul> 1034 <li>Build 1035 <ul> 1036 <li>Fixed problem where test projects did not have access to the full classpath of tested 1037 projects, including Library Projects and third-party jars.</li> 1038 <li>Fixed deployment logic so that applications with embedded tests can now be deployed 1039 and tested like test applications, including code coverage information.</li> 1040 <li>Fixed Ant support for testing projects with libraries.</li> 1041 </ul> 1042 </li> 1043 </ul> 1044 </dd> 1045 </dl> 1046 </div> 1047 </div> 1048 1049 <div class="toggle-content closed"> 1050 <p><a href="#" onclick="return toggleContent(this)"> 1051 <img src="{@docRoot}assets/images/triangle-closed.png" class="toggle-content-img" 1052 alt=""/>SDK Tools, Revision 19</a> <em>(April 2012)</em> 1053 </p> 1054 1055 <div class="toggle-content-toggleme"> 1056 <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> This update of SDK Tools is only available through 1057 the <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/exploring.html">Android SDK Manager</a>.

In Eclipse/ADT, all incremental builds are assumed 1604 to be debug builds, so the tools insert <code>android:debuggable="true"</code>. 1605 When exporting a signed release build, the tools do not add the attribute. In 1606 Ant, a <code>ant debug</code> command automatically inserts the 1607 <code>android:debuggable="true"</code> attribute, while <code>ant release</code> 1608 does not.
