<p>Android Development Tools (ADT) is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE
|
||
|
|
that is designed to give you a powerful, integrated environment in which
|
||
|
|
to build Android applications. </p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>ADT extends the capabilities of Eclipse to let you quickly set up new Android
|
||
|
|
projects, create an application UI, add components based on the Android
|
||
|
|
Framework API, debug your applications using the Android SDK tools, and even
|
||
|
|
export signed (or unsigned) APKs in order to distribute your application.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Developing in Eclipse with ADT is highly recommended and is the fastest way
|
||
|
|
to get started. With the guided project setup it provides, as well as tools
|
||
|
|
integration, custom XML editors, and debug ouput pane, ADT gives you an
|
||
|
|
incredible boost in developing Android applications. </p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to download the ADT
|
||
|
|
plugin and install it into your Eclipse development environment. Note that
|
||
|
|
before you can install or use ADT, you must have compatible versions of both the
|
||
|
|
Eclipse IDE and the Android SDK installed. For details, make sure to read <a
|
||
|
|
href="#installing">Installing the ADT Plugin</a>, below. </p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If you are already using ADT, this document also provides instructions on
|
||
|
|
how to update ADT to the latest version or how to uninstall it, if necessary.

ADT 9.0.0</a> <em>(January 2011)</em>
|
||
|
|
<div class="toggleme">
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt>Dependencies:</dt>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dd>ADT 9.0.0 is designed for use with SDK Tools r9. If you haven't
|
||
|
|
already installed SDK Tools r9 into your SDK, use the Android SDK and AVD Manager to do
|
||
|
|
so.</dd>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt>General notes:</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>"Go To Declaration" hyperlink support: You can jump directly from code references (such as
|
||
|
|
<code>R.id.main</code>) to the corresponding XML declaration, or from XML attributes (such as
|
||
|
|
<code>@string</code>) to the corresponding resource definition, or from manifest XML
|
||
|
|
registrations to activities and services.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Improvements were made to name refactoring.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>AVDs now automatically save their state, so they can restart almost instantly. You can enable this feature when
|
||
|
|
creating an AVD or by editing an AVD with the AVD Manager.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Improvements to the Visual Layout Editor:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Support for rendering targets: You can now choose an arbitrary Android platform to
|
||
|
|
render the current page, regardless of the project's minimum platform. This makes it
|
||
|
|
easy to verify the layout and appearance of your activity on different versions of
|
||
|
|
the platform.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Improved support for empty and nested layouts: Dragging items over nested and
|
||
|
|
invisible layouts automatically enlarges and highlights these layouts, so that they
|
||
|
|
can receive drops.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>XML formatting improvements: The editor generates cleaner XML and you can now enable
|
||
|
|
XML auto-formatting in the <strong>Preferences</strong> menu.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Improved Outline labels: The Outline tab now displays additional information about each
|
||
|
|
View. Textual Views display a snippet of the actual text. Views with a source
|
||
|
|
(such as ImageView) displays the resource name. Included Views display the name of the View.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>When you right click a View in the Layout Editor,
|
||
|
|
the context menu now contains <strong>Edit ID...</strong> and <strong>Edit Text...</strong>
|
||
|
|
items. The <strong>Properties...</strong> context menus now list all of the properties and
|
||
|
|
provide a way to edit them
|
||
|
|
(<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/editidtextandotherpropertiesviamenu">Details</a>).
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The layout editor now properly handles
|
||
|
|
<a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html#include-element"><code><include></code></a>
|
||
|
|
and <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html#merge-element"><code><merge></code></a>
|
||
|
|
tags (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/supportforincludeandmerge">Details</a>).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>"Extract as Include" refactoring: The Layout Editor has a new refactoring that allows
|
||
|
|
you to select one or more views in a layout, and extract it into a separate layout
|
||
|
|
(<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/extractasincluderefactoring">Details</a>).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Improved diagnostics for class loading and rendering errors: Class loading and rendering
|
||
|
|
error messages are more useful and provide better information about the root cause of the
|
||
|
|
error.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Improved error handling to prevent drag and reordering operations from adding children
|
||
|
|
into an {@link android.widget.AdapterView}.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Outline reordering: Reordering your views in the Outline tab is much easier
|
||
|
|
(<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/outlineimprovements">Details</a>).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fix for keybinding bug where keyboard shortcuts did not work (Issues
|
||
|
|
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13231">13231</a> and
|
||
|
|
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13134">13134</a>).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fix for problems with Custom layout attribute menu (Issue
|
||
|
|
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13134">13134</a>).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Automatic configuration for various view types: Certain views have properties configured
|
||
|
|
by default. For example, the width of an {@link android.widget.EditText} object is set to
|
||
|
|
<code>match_parent</code> when added to a vertical {@link android.widget.LinearLayout}
|
||
|
|
or a default image is added to an {@link android.widget.ImageButton}.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Previews during dragging: Dragging from the palette or dragging within the layout editor
|
||
|
|
now shows live previews of the dragged item.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Navigation improvements: In the Layout Editor, double-clicking Views jumps to the
|
||
|
|
corresponding XML element. In the Outline view, double-clicking opens the Properties view.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The editor has Honeycomb style animation preview support.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Improved rendering support for various Views (such as TabHosts and SlidingDrawers) in
|
||
|
|
Honeycomb (Issues <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3162">3162</a>
|
||
|
|
and <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13092">13092</a>).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Included layouts can be rendered and edited in the context of the layouts that include
|
||
|
|
them. From a layout using an <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html#include-element">
|
||
|
|
<code><include></code></a> tag, double-clicking on the
|
||
|
|
<a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/layout-resource.html#include-element">
|
||
|
|
<code><include></code></a> element edits the referenced layout in the context of the
|
||
|
|
current layout. Additionally, when editing a layout that is included by other layouts,
|
||
|
|
you can quickly change between context layouts, by right clicking in the editor and choosing
|
||
|
|
<strong>Show included in...</strong>. This feature is only available in Honeycomb.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>This release fixes many other bugs, but the most important ones are listed below:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fixed issue that prevented launching debug builds on productions devices when
|
||
|
|
<code>debuggable=true</code> was not set in the Android manifest.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The LogCat view in DDMS properly handles UTF-8 characters.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The SDK Manager is more reliable on Windows
|
||
|
|
(<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/sdkmanagerfixes">Details</a>).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A JUnit initialization bug that prevented you from working with JUnit tests was fixed
|
||
|
|
(Issue <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=12411">12411</a>).</li>

<dd>
|

|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>New version number scheme that follows the SDK Tools revision number. The major version
|
||
|
|
number for your ADT plugin should now always match the revision number of your SDK Tools. For
|
||
|
|
example, ADT 8.x is for SDK Tools r8.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Support for true debug build. You no longer need to change the value of the
|
||
|
|
<code>debuggable</code> attribute in the Android Manifest.
|
||
|
|
<p>Incremental builds automatically insert <code>debuggable="true"</code>, but if you perform
|
||
|
|
"export signed/unsigned application package", ADT does <em>not</em> insert it.
|
||
|
|
If you manually set <code>debuggable="true"</code> in the manifest file, then release builds will
|
||
|
|
actually create a debug build (it does not remove it if you placed it there).</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Automatic <a href="{@docRoot}guide/developing/tools/proguard.html">ProGuard</a> support in
|
||
|
|
release builds. For it to work, you need to have a <code>proguard.config</code>
|
||
|
|
property in the <code>default.properties</code> file that points to a ProGuard config file.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Completely rewritten Visual Layout Editor. (This is still a work in progress.) Now includes:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Full drag and drop from palette to layout for all Layout classes.</li>
|

|
|
<li>Move widgets inside a Layout view, from one Layout view to another and from one layout file to another.</li>

<li>Contextual menu with enum/flag type properties.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>New zoom controls.</li>

|
||
|
|
|

|
|
<p>The sections below provide instructions on how to download and install
|
||
|
|
ADT into your Eclipse environment. If you encounter problems, see the <a
|

|
|

|
|

|

<h3 id="preparing">Preparing Your Development Computer</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>ADT is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE. Before you can install or use ADT,
|
||
|
|
you must have a compatible version of Eclipse installed on your development
|
||
|
|
computer. </p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>If Eclipse is already installed on your computer, make sure that it is
|
||
|
|
a version that is compatible with ADT and the Android SDK. Check the <a
|
||
|
|
href="requirements.html">System Requirements</a> document for
|
||
|
|
a list of Eclipse versions that are compatible with the Android SDK.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If you need to install or update Eclipse, you can download it from this
|
||
|
|
location:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p style="margin-left:2em;"><a href=
|
||
|
|
"http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/">http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/</a>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For Eclipse 3.5 or newer, the "Eclipse Classic" version is recommended. Otherwise, a Java or RCP
|
||
|
|
version of Eclipse is recommended.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Additionally, before you can configure or use ADT, you must install the
|
||
|
|
Android SDK starter package, as described in <a
|
||
|
|
href="installing.html#Installing">Downloading the SDK Starter Package</a>.
|
||
|
|
Specifically, you need to install a compatible version of the Android SDK Tools
|
||
|
|
and at least one development platform. To simplify ADT setup, we recommend
|
||
|
|
installing the Android SDK prior to installing ADT. </p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>When your Eclipse and Android SDK environments are ready, continue with the
|
||
|
|
ADT installation as described in the steps below. </p>

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="downloading">Downloading the ADT Plugin</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Use Update Manager feature of your Eclipse installation to install the latest
|
||
|
|
revision of ADT on your development computer.<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Assuming that you have a compatible version of the Eclipse IDE installed, as
|
||
|
|
described in <a href="#preparing">Preparing for Installation</a>, above, follow

|
<p> If you are having trouble downloading the ADT plugin after following the
|
||
|
|
steps above, here are some suggestions: </p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>If Eclipse can not find the remote update site containing the ADT plugin,
|
||
|
|
try changing the remote site URL to use http, rather than https. That is, set
|
||
|
|
the Location for the remote site to:
|
||
|
|
<pre>http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/</pre></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If you are behind a firewall (such as a corporate firewall), make sure that
|
||
|
|
you have properly configured your proxy settings in Eclipse. In Eclipse,
|
||
|
|
you can configure proxy information from the main Eclipse menu in
|
||
|
|
<strong>Window</strong> (on Mac OS X, <strong>Eclipse</strong>) >
|
||
|
|
<strong>Preferences</strong> > <strong>General</strong> > <strong>Network
|
||
|
|
Connections</strong>.</li>

<h4>Other install errors</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that there are features of ADT that require some optional
|
||
|
|
Eclipse components (for example, WST). If you encounter an error when
|
||
|
|
installing ADT, your Eclipse installion might not include these components.
|
||
|
|
For information about how to quickly add the necessary components to your
|
||
|
|
Eclipse installation, see the troubleshooting topic
|
||
|
|
<a href="{@docRoot}resources/faq/troubleshooting.html#installeclipsecomponents">ADT
|
||
|
|
Installation Error: "requires plug-in org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui"</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4>For Linux users</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you encounter this error when installing the ADT Plugin for Eclipse:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
An error occurred during provisioning.
|
||
|
|
Cannot connect to keystore.
|
||
|
|
JKS</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
...then your development machine lacks a suitable Java VM. Installing Sun
|
||
|
|
Java 6 will resolve this issue and you can then reinstall the ADT
|
||
|
|
Plugin.</p>

<h2 id="updating">Updating the ADT Plugin</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>From time to time, a new revision of the ADT Plugin becomes available, with
|
||
|
|
new features and bug fixes. Generally, when a new revision of ADT is available,
|
||
|
|
you should update to it as soon as convenient. </p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In some cases, a new revision of ADT will have a dependency on a specific
|
||
|
|
revision of the Android SDK Tools. If such dependencies exist, you will need to
|
||
|
|
update the SDK Tools component of the SDK after installing the new revision of
|
||
|
|
ADT. To update the SDK Tools component, use the Android SDK and AVD Manager, as
|
||
|
|
described in <a href="adding-components.html">Adding SDK Components</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>To learn about new features of each ADT revision and also any dependencies on
|
||
|
|
the SDK Tools, see the listings in the <a href="#notes">Revisions</a>
|
||
|
|
section. To determine the version currently installed, open the
|
||
|
|
Eclipse Installed Software window using <strong>Help</strong>
|
||
|
|
> <strong>Software Updates</strong> and refer to the version listed for
|
||
|
|
"Android Development Tools".</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Follow the steps below to check whether an update is available and, if so,
|
||
|
|
to install it. </p>
