Revisions
The sections below provide notes about successive releases of the ADT Plugin, as denoted by revision number.
Dependencies:
Java 1.6 or higher is required for ADT 21.1.0.
Eclipse Helios (Version 3.6.2) or higher is required for ADT 21.1.0.
ADT 21.1.0 is designed for use with SDK Tools r21.1.0. If you haven't already installed SDK Tools r21.1.0 into your
SDK, use the Android SDK Manager to do so.
General Notes:
Added new code templates for noti cations, blank fragments and list fragments.
Added support for resource rename refactoring. Renaming a resource XML le, drawable icon, an R. eld name or
ID in the layout editor invokes a refactoring routine to update all resource references.
Added more than 15 new Lint checks, including checks for overriding older APIs, XML resource problems, graphic
asset issues and manifest tags.
Updated XML Editor to respond to refactoring shortcut keys such as Refactor > Rename.
Updated XML Editor to improve double click handling.
Added code completion improvements for custom views, theme references and class references. For example,
code completion in a <fragment android:name=””> tag now suggests completion with a list of fragment
classes. Similarly, code completion in the manifest now offers implementations suitable for the given tag.
Updated the Project Import dialog so that it shows a table for all imported projects where you can edit the name of
the imported project.
Added support for layout aliases in the Layout Editor.
Bug xes:
Fixed issued with refactoring support for renaming and moving classes and packages.
