The final SDK(Software Development Kit) for Android 3.0 is now available to developers. This contains the new API level 11.
With the new platform, Android developers are releasing updates to SDK Tools and ADT(Android Development Tools) Plugin for Eclipse.
Features of new SDK is
- UI Builder improvements in the ADT Plugin:
- New Palette with categories and rendering previews.
- More accurate rendering of layouts to more faithfully reflect how the layout will look on devices, including rendering status and title bars to more accurately reflect screen space actually available to applications.
- Selection-sensitive action bars to manipulate View properties.
- Zoom improvements (fit to view, persistent scale, keyboard access)
- Improved support for <merge> layouts, as well as layouts with gesture overlays.
- Traceview integration.
- Tools for using the Renderscript graphics engine: the SDK tools now compiles .rs files into Java Programming Language files and native bytecode.
