For an overview, see the 855 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erd2k6EKxCQ">session recording</a> 856 (starting at: 20:30).</li> 857 <li>Modified the layout logic so that setting a {@link android.app.Fragment} layout or 858 a {@link android.widget.ListView} preview layout is now applied not 859 only to the current layout but to all other configurations of the same layout.</li> 860 <li>Updated the editor to include resources from library projects in the resource chooser, 861 XML code completion, Go To Declaration and other editing contexts.</li> 862 <li>Updated the editor so that it no longer forces all variations of a single 863 layout into a single editor. You can, for example, open both the landscape and portrait 864 versions of a layout as separate editors and quickly switch between them, or even 865 re-dock your editors to edit them simultaneously. If you prefer the previous behavior, 866 set the new option in <strong>Preferences > Android > Editors</strong> to use the 867 old behavior.</li> 868 <li>Improved the handling of {@link android.widget.RelativeLayout} in the layout editor, 869 so that dragging widgets around and deleting them should now result in the layout 870 working more intuitively. In particular, deleting a widget causes the constraints 871 flowing through the deleted widgets to be intelligently adjusted, and when moving 872 widgets the constraints are preserved whenever possible.</li> 873 <li>Added the ability to specify a default action in Layout Editor views, which you can 874 invoke with the <em>F2</em> key. For example, after dropping a button or text view, 875 you can press <em>F2</em> to edit its text.</li> 876 <li>Added renaming of an ID (changing the {@code android:id} attribute) by invoking the 877 <strong>Rename</strong> shortcut.</li> 878 <li>Adding a new locale is now easier with the new <strong>Add Locale...</strong> action 879 in the locale menu. In addition to creating the new values folder, it lets you edit an 880 initial set of translations for the new locale.</li> 881 <li>Updated the editor so that when a custom view (or incorrectly configured view) 882 throws an exception during initialization or painting, part of the relevant stack trace 883 is shown inline in the layout editor, and you can click on the stack frames to jump to 884 the relevant location</li> 885 <li>Improved the editor error display to show the relevant part of a stack trace 886 when a custom view throws exceptions during rendering or construction, and provides 887 hyperlinks to the stack frames.</li> 888 <li>Improved the stack trace display for exceptions for custom views that are generated 889 during rendering.</li> 890 <li>Updated the configuration chooser so that it shows full language and region names (not 891 just 2-letter codes) in menus, in the configuration dialog and other editing contexts. 892 </li> 893 <li>Improved the device menu in the configuration chooser.</li> 894 </ul> 895 </li> 896 <li>Lint 897 <ul> 898 <li>Added over 25 new lint rules for resources, locale settings, layout 899 files, incorrect use of {@link android.util.SparseArray} and 900 {@link android.os.PowerManager.WakeLock} and manifest issues.</li> 901 <li>Improved the XML export function to support the 902 <a href="https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Android+Lint+Plugin">Jenkins Lint 903 plugin</a>. 904 </li> 905 </ul> 906 </li> 907 <li>Editors 908 <ul> 909 <li>Modified the plugin to remember which editor mode (text or graphical) you were last 910 using for each type of editor (layout, manifest or values) and uses that mode for newly 911 opened files. This means that if you prefer to work with just XML, the editors start 912 showing you XML text editors after you have switched to them for each type of editor.</li> 913 <li>Updated XML code completion so that it completes (and shows documentation for) theme 914 references, such as {@code ?android:attr/dividerHeight}.</li> 915 </ul> 916 </li> 917 <li>Android Virtual Devices (AVD) 918 <ul> 919 <li>Added new <strong>Device Definitions</strong> tab in the AVD Manager for configuring 920 standard size and Nexus virtual devices.</li> 921 <li>Improved emulators so that they launch with a skin that is dynamically generated and 922 reflects the actual hardware configured in the AVD Manager.</li> 923 </ul> 924 </li> 925 <li>Improved the new template mechanism, cleaned up the existing templates and added 926 several new templates</li> 927 <li>Added ability to export images and frames in the Tracer for OpenGL ES tool.</li> 928 <li>Integrated the Systrace tool into the DDMS

This change causes 1150 the build system to generate a temporary ProGuard keep-rules file containing classes that 1151 are referenced from XML files (such as custom views) and pass this to ProGuard at shrink-time. This 1152 can make the resulting APK much smaller when using just a small portion of a large library project 1153 (such as the Android Support library), since the catch-all rules to keep all custom views from the 1154 default ProGuard configuration file have also been removed.</li> 1155 </ul> 1156 </li> 1157 <li>Added support building and debugging NDK-based Android projects.</li> 1158 </li> 1159 <li>Added support to the Asset Studio Wizard for padding and turning off background 1160 shapes.</li> 1161 <li>Improved LogCat to allow developers to set colors for different priorities.</li> 1162 <li>Improved app Run functionality to allow running on multiple devices with a single launch. 1163 The target tab in the launch configuration dialog includes an option to allow launching on all 1164 connected devices, with the option to further narrow the list to just physical devices or just 1165 emulators.

Any {@code .jar} files in the 1249 {@code /libs} folder are added to the build configuration (similar to how the Ant build 1250 system works). Also, {@code .jar} files needed by library projects are also automatically 1251 added to projects that depend on those library projects. 1252 (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/dealingwithdependenciesinandroidprojects">more 1253 info</a>)</li> 1254 <li>Added a feature that allows you to run some code only in debug mode. Builds now 1255 generate a class called {@code BuildConfig} containing a {@code DEBUG} constant that is 1256 automatically set according to your build type. You can check the ({@code BuildConfig.DEBUG}) 1257 constant in your code to run debug-only functions.</li> 1258 <li>Added support for custom views with custom attributes in libraries. Layouts using 1259 custom attributes must use the namespace URI {@code http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto} instead 1260 of the URI that includes the app package name.

Each 1271 issue type has a single top level item, which makes it easier to quickly scan through the reported 1272 issues and narrow down to the issues you are most interested in.</li> 1273 <li>Added many new toolbar actions to the results window, including expand/collapse, 1274 ignore in file, ignore in project, ignore everywhere, show options, and configure columns.</li> 1275 <li>Added new column options for the <strong>Lint Warnings</strong> tab, such as 1276 category, priority, project, file and line. The column selection (as well as the column sizes) are 1277 persisted. You can also click on columns to sort by those values.</li> 1278 <li>Added Enable All and Disable All buttons to the Lint Options dialog, and a search 1279 filter textbox to filter by issue id, summary and severity.</li> 1280 </ul> 1281 </li> 1282 <li>Added Quick Outline for XML editors (Ctrl-O, Command-O). This feature shows the structure 1283 of the current file including icons and ids, lets you filter and quickly jump to specific ids.</li> 1284 <li>Updated the resource chooser to shows the resolved value for resources. For example, 1285 when selecting {@code @string/hello} the chooser displays a resolved value such as "Hello World"). 1286 The resource chooser also now allows you to edit the chosen value directly.</li> 1287 <li>Updated Layout Editor so that it does not assign default ids to layouts, includes and 1288 merge tags. This behavior tended to pollute the namespace with a lot of unused resources since 1289 layouts are not usually manipulated via code, or referenced from XML. (The RelativeLayout editor 1290 automatically assigns ids to views without ids when pointing to them.)</li> 1291 <li>Added ability to export screenshots from the Layout Editor</li> 1292 </ul> 1293 </dd> 1294 1295 <dt>Bug fixes:</dt> 1296 <dd> 1297 <ul> 1298 <li>Fixed problem using Layout Editor with {@link android.widget.SlidingDrawer} which could 1299 not be dragged into the layout on some platforms.</li> 1300 <li>Fixed preview rendering for {@link android.widget.SlidingDrawer} and 1301 {@link android.widget.TabHost}. 1302 (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23022">Issue 23022</a>).</li> 1303 <li>Fixed issues that could prevent layout rendering due to unresolvable resources. 1304 (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=21046">Issue 21046</a>, 1305 <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=21051">Issue 21051</a>)</li> 1306 <li>Fixed a bug in resource chooser which made some types of framework resources impossible to 1307 select.

It includes (almost) all 1686 the goodies demonstrated at Google I/O. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq05KqjXTvs">Watch 1687 the video</a> on YouTube.</li> 1688 <li>The palette now supports different configurations for supported widgets. That is, a single 1689 view is presented in various different configurations that you can drag into your layout. For 1690 example, there is a <em>Text Fields</em> palette category where you can drag an {@link 1691 android.widget.EditText} widget in as a password field, an e-mail field, a phone field, or other 1692 types of text boxes. Similarly, {@link android.widget.TextView} widgets are preconfigured 1693 with large, normal and small theme sizes, and {@link android.widget.LinearLayout} elements are 1694 preconfigured in horizontal and vertical configurations (<a 1695 href="http://tools.android.com/recent/multipletextfieldandlayouttypes">more info</a>).</li> 1696 <li>The palette supports custom views. You can pick up any custom 1697 implementations of the View class you've created in your project or from included libraries and 1698 drag them into your layout (<a 1699 href="http://tools.android.com/recent/customviewsinthepalette">more info</a>).</li> 1700 <li>Fragments are available in the palette for placement in your layout. In the tool, you can 1701 choose which layout to show rendered for a given fragment tag. Go to declaration works for fragment 1702 classes (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/fragmentsupport">more info</a>).</li> 1703 <li>The layout editor automatically applies a "zoom to fit" for newly 1704 opened files as well as on device size and orientation changes to 1705 ensure that large layouts are always fully visible unless you 1706 manually zoom in.</li> 1707 <li>You can drop in an {@code <include>} element from the palette, which will pop up 1708 a layout chooser. When you select the layout to include, it is added with an {@code 1709 <include>}. Similarly, dropping images or image buttons will pop up image 1710 resource choosers (<a 1711 href="http://tools.android.com/recent/includetagdropsupport">more info</a>).</li> 1712 <li>The configuration chooser now applies the "Render Target" and 1713 "Locale" settings project wide, making it trivial to check the 1714 layouts for different languages or render targets without having 1715 to configure these individually for each layout.</li> 1716 <li>The layout editor is smarter about picking a default theme to 1717 render a layout with, consulting factors like theme registrations 1718 in the manifest, the SDK version, and other factors.</li> 1719 <li>The layout editor is smarter about picking a default configuration to render a layout 1720 with, defaulting to the currently visible configuration in the previous file. It also considers the 1721 SDK target to determine whether to default to a tablet or phone screen size.</li> 1722 <li>Basic focus support. The first text field dropped in a layout is assigned focus, and there 1723 are <strong>Request Focus</strong> and <strong>Clear Focus</strong> context menu items on text 1724 fields to change the focus.</li> 1725 </ul> 1726 </dd> 1727 1728 <dt>XML editors:</dt> 1729 <dd> 1730 <ul> 1731 <li>Code completion has been significantly improved.

There are also many fixes to 1734 handle text replacement (<a 1735 href="http://tools.android.com/recent/xmlcodecompletionimprovements">more info</a>).</li> 1736 <li>AAPT errors are handled better. They are now underlined for the 1737 relevant range in the editor, and a new quickfix makes it trivial 1738 to create missing resources.</li> 1739 <li>Code completion for drawable, animation and color XML files (<a 1740 href="http://tools.android.com/recent/codecompletionfordrawablescolorsandanimationfiles">more 1741 info</a>).</li> 1742 </ul> 1743 </dd> 1744 1745 <dt>DDMS:</dt> 1746 <dd> 1747 <ul> 1748 <li>"New Folder" action in the File Explorer.</li> 1749 <li>The screenshot dialog will add timestamps to the filenames and preserve the orientation on 1750 snapshot refresh.</li> 1751 </ul> 1752 </dd> 1753 1754 <dt>General notes:</dt> 1755 <dd> 1756 <ul> 1757 <li>TraceView supports zooming with the mouse-wheel in the timeline.</li> 1758 <li>The New Android Project wizard now supports Eclipse working sets.</li> 1759 </ul> 1760 </dd> 1761 </dl> 1762 <p>More information about tool changes are available on the <a 1763 href="http://tools.android.com/recent">Android Tools Project Site</a>.</p> 1764 </div> 1765 </div> 1766 1767 1768 1769 1770 1771 <div class="toggle-content closed"> 1772 <p><a href="#" onclick="return toggleContent(this)"> 1773 <img src="{@docRoot}assets/images/triangle-closed.png" class="toggle-content-img" 1774 alt=""/>ADT 10.0.1</a> <em>(March 2011)</em> 1775 </p> 1776 1777 <div class="toggle-content-toggleme"> 1778 1779 <dl> 1780 1781 <dt>Dependencies:</dt> 1782 1783 <dd>This version of ADT is designed for use with SDK Tools r10.
