<p>SDK Tools is a downloadable component for the Android SDK. It includes the
|
|
complete set of development and debugging tools for the Android SDK.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are new to the Android SDK, the <a
|
|
href="{@docRoot}sdk/index.html">SDK starter package</a> installs the
|
|
latest revision of the SDK Tools in the <code><sdk>/tools</code> directory.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are already using the SDK and you want to update to the latest version
|
|
of the SDK Tools, use the <em>Android SDK Manager</em> to get the
|
|
update, rather than downloading a new SDK starter package. For more information
|
|
about how to update, see <a
|
|
href="{@docRoot}sdk/adding-components.html#UpdatingComponents">Updating SDK
|
|
Components</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="notes">Revisions</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The sections below provide notes about successive releases of
|
|
the SDK Tools, as denoted by revision number. To determine what revision of the SDK
|
|
Tools you are using, refer to the "Installed Packages" listing in the Android SDK Manager. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For a summary of all known issues in SDK Tools, see <a

one webcam is present, and to emulate both rear-facing and front-facing cameras when two
|
|
webcams are present. Webcam support is for Windows and Linux only.
|
|
Mac support will come in a later release.</li>
|
|
<li>Changed <code>default.properties</code> to <code>project.properties</code> and
|
|
<code>build.properties</code> to <code>ant.properties</code>. Any existing
|
|
projects that you build with Ant must be updated with the <code>android update project</code>
|
|
command.</li>
|
|
<li>Changed Ant <code>build.xml</code> file to support improvements to the
|
|
build system and added and modified Ant commands to support these changes. For a list of Ant
|
|
commands, see the
|
|
<a href="{@docRoot}guide/developing/building/building-cmdline.html#AntReference">Ant Command
|
|
Reference</a>.</li>
|
|
<li>Changed how library projects are built.</li>
|
|
<li>Improved incremental builds, so that resource compilation runs less frequently. Builds no
|
|
longer run when you edit strings or layouts (unless you add a new <code>id</code>) and no longer
|
|
run once for each library project.</li>
|
|
<li>Introduced a "PNG crunch cache" that only runs on modified PNG files, instead of
|
|
crunching all existing PNG files, all the time.</li>

<li>classes that extend {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgentHelper}</li>

<li>Ant lib rules now allow you to override <code>java.encoding</code>, <code>java.source</code>,

and <code>java.target</code> properties.</li>
|
|
<li>The default encoding for the <code>javac</code> Ant task is now UTF-8.</li>
|
|
<li>The LogCat view in DDMS now properly displays UTF-8 characters.</li>
|
|
<li>The SDK Manager is more reliable on Windows. For details on the improvements, see the
|
|
<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/sdkmanagerfixes">Android Tools Project Site</a>. </li>
|
|
<li>Early look at the new snapshot feature: To improve startup time for the emulator, you can
|
|
enable snapshots for the system state. The emulator will then restore to the state when it last
|
|
closed almost instantly. <strong>Note:</strong> The snapshot feature is still under active
|
|
development and might not always perform as expected.</li>
|
|
<li>Fixed the missing JAR file error that prevented <code>draw9patch</code> from running.</li>
|
|
<li>Fixed the Windows launch scripts <code>hierarchyviewer</code> and <code>ddms</code> to support
|
|
the new location of <code>adb</code>.</li>
|
|
<li>Known issues with emulator performance: Because the Android emulator must simulate the ARM
|
|
instruction set architecture on your computer, emulator performance is slow. We're working hard to
|
|
resolve the performance issues and it will improve in future releases.</li>

|
the default installed location for the <code>adb</code> tool has changed from
|
|
<code><<em>SDK</em>>/tools/adb</code> to
|
|
<code><<em>SDK</em>>/platform-tools/adb</code>. This means that you should
|
|
add the new location to your PATH and modify any custom build scripts to
|
|
reference the new location. Copying the <code>adb</code> executable from the new
|
|
location to the old is not recommended, since subsequent updates to the SDK
|
|
Tools will delete the file.</p>

<dt>General notes:</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>All SDK platforms now support Library Projects.</li>
|
|
<li>Support for a true debug build. Developers no longer need to add the
|
|
<code>android:debuggable</code> attribute to the
|
|
<code><application></code> tag in the manifest — the build tools add
|
|
the attribute automatically. In Eclipse/ADT, all incremental builds are assumed
|
|
to be debug builds, so the tools insert <code>android:debuggable="true"</code>.
|
|
When exporting a signed release build, the tools do not add the attribute. In
|
|
Ant, a <code>ant debug</code> command automatically inserts the
|
|
<code>android:debuggable="true"</code> attribute, while <code>ant release</code>
|
|
does not. If <code>android:debuggable="true"</code> is manually set, then
|
|
<code>ant release</code> will actually do a debug build, rather than a release
|
|
build.</li>
|
|
<li>Automatic ProGuard support in release builds. Developers generate a ProGuard
|
|
configuration file using the <code>android</code> tool — the build tools
|
|
then automatically run ProGuard against the project sources during the build.
|
|
For more information, see the <a
|
|
href="{@docRoot}guide/developing/tools/proguard.html">ProGuard</a>
|
|
documentation. </li>
|
|
<li>New overridable Ant javac properties: <code>java.encoding</code>,
|
|
<code>java.source</code>, and <code>java.target</code> (default values are
|
|
"ascii", "1.5", and "1.5", respectively).</li>
|
|
<li>New UI for the HierarchyViewer tool.</li>

library project from other Android projects and, at build time, the tools

|
compile the shared code and resources as part of the dependent applications.
