This is an old page (from 2010) describing version 8 of the ADT plugin for Eclipse. If you are looking for the R8 tool (a replacement for the Proguard shrinking and minification tool), go to instead. - New version number scheme following the SDK Tools revision number. - Support for true debug build. No need to change the value of debuggable in the Android Manifest. Incremental build will automatically insert debuggable==true while using the "export signed/unsigned application package" will not. If debuggable=true is set, then release builds 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. - Completely rewritten Visual Layout Editor. This is very much a work in progress. - full drag and drop from palette to layout for all Layout classes. - Move widgets inside a Layout view, from one Layout view to another and from one layout file to another. - Contextual menu with enum/flag type properties. - New zoom controls. - New HierarchyViewer plug-in integrated in Eclipse. - Android launch configurations don't recompile the whole workspace on launch anymore. - android.jar source and javadoc location can now be configured. |
