| <p>This document describes how to move your development environment and existing |
| Android applications from an Android 1.0 SDK to the Android 1.1, Release 1 SDK. |
| If you are migrating applications from an earlier SDK, please read the upgrading |
| document available in the Android 1.0 SDK package. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>To ensure that your applications are compliant with the Android 1.1 system available |
| on mobile devices, you need to install the Android 1.1 SDK and port your existing Android |
| applications to it. The sections below will guide you through the process.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="install-new">Installing the Latest SDK</h2> |
| |
| <p><a href="{@docRoot}sdk/1.1_r1/index.html">Download the SDK</a> and unpack it into a safe location.</p> |
| |
| <p>After unpacking the new SDK and saving it an appropriate location, you should:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Wipe your emulator data. <p>Some data formats have changed since the last |
| SDK release, so any previously saved data in your emulator must be removed. Open a console/terminal |
| and navigate to the <code>/tools</code> directory of your new SDK. Launch the |
| emulator with the <code>-wipe-data</code> option. |
| <p>Windows: <code>emulator -wipe-data</code><br/> |
| Mac/Linux: <code>./emulator -wipe-data</code></p> |
| </li> |
| <li>Update your PATH variable (Mac/Linux; optional). <p>If you had previously setup your |
| PATH variable to point to the SDK tools directory, then you'll need to update it to |
| point to the new SDK. For example, for a <code>.bashrc</code> or <code>.bash_profile</code> file: |
| <code>export PATH=$PATH:<em><your_new_sdk_dir></em>/tools</code></p> |
| </li> |
| <li>If (and only if) you are developing using Ant, you will also need to modify |
| your build.xml properties to point to the new SDK. |
| <p>Open the <code>default.properties</code> file associated with your build.xml |
| file (typically located in the same directory). In the default.properties |
| file, update the <code>sdk-folder</code> property with the full path to |
| the new SDK directory.</p></li> |
| </ul> |

| <h2 id="update-plugin">Update your ADT Eclipse Plugin</h2> |
| |
| <p>If you develop on Eclipse and are migrating from an Android 1.0 |
| SDK, no update of the ADT plugin is needed — skip to <a href="#updateEclipsePrefs">Update your Eclipse SDK Preferences</a>. </p> |
| |
| <p>If you are migrating from an earlier version of the SDK, you will |
| need to update the ADT plugin. <p>You may also want to upgrade your |
| ADT plugin when a new version becomes available for your existing version |
| of the SDK.</p> |
| |
| <p>The steps below describe how to update the ADT plugin to the latest |
| version available. </p> |
| |
| <table style="font-size:100%"> |
| <tr><th>Eclipse 3.3 (Europa)</th><th>Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede)</th></tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td width="50%"> |
| <ol> |
| <li> Select <strong>Help</strong> > <strong>Software Updates</strong> > <strong>Find and Install...</strong>. </li> |
| <li> Select <strong>Search for updates of the currently installed features</strong> and click <strong>Finish</strong>. </li> |
| <li> If any update for ADT is available, select and install. </li> |
| <li> Restart Eclipse.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> Alternatively, </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> Select <strong>Help</strong> > <strong>Software Updates</strong> > <strong>Manage Configuration</strong>. </li> |
| |
| <li> Navigate down the tree and select <strong>Android Development Tools <version></strong> </li> |
| <li> Select <strong>Scan for Updates</strong> under <strong>Available Tasks</strong>.</li> |
| </ol> |
| </td> |
| <td> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Select <strong>Help</strong> > <strong>Software Updates...</strong></li> |
| <li>Select the <strong>Installed Software</strong> tab.</li> |
| <li>Click <strong>Update...</strong></li> |
| <li>If an update for ADT is available, select it and click <strong>Finish</strong>.</li> |
| <li>Restart Eclipse.</li> |
| </ol> |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| </table> |
| |
| <h2 id="updateEclipsePrefs">Update your Eclipse SDK Preferences</h2> |
| |
| <p>The last step is to update your Eclipse preferences to point to the new SDK directory:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Select <strong>Window</strong> > <strong>Preferences...</strong> to open the Preferences panel. (Mac OSX: <strong>Eclipse</strong> > <strong>Preferences</strong>)</li> |
| <li>Select <strong>Android</strong> from the left panel.</li> |
| <li>For the SDK Location in the main panel, click <strong>Browse...</strong> and locate the SDK directory.</li> |
| <li>Click <strong>Apply</strong>, then <strong>OK</strong>.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <h2 id="migrate">Migrate Your Applications, if Necessary</h2> |
| |
| <p>If (and only if) you have written apps in an SDK released previous to |
| the Android 1.0 SDK, you will need to migrate your applications. After |
| installing the new SDK and updating the ADT Plugin (if applicable), you |
| may encounter breakages in your application code, due to |
| framework and API changes. You'll need to update your code to match the |
| latest APIs.</p> |
| |
| <p>One way to start is to open your project in Eclipse and see where the ADT |
| identifies errors in your application. From there, you can lookup |
| specific API changes in the Android 1.0 APIs in the |
| <a href="http://code.google.com/android/migrating/changes-overview.html"> |
| Overview of Changes</a> and <a href="http://code.google.com/android/migrating/changes.html"> |
| API Diffs Report</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>If you have additional trouble updating your code, visit the |
| <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers">Android Developers Group</a> |
| to seek help from other Android developers.</p> |
| |
| <p>If you have modified one of the ApiDemos applications and would like to migrate it |
| to the new SDK, note that you will need to uninstall the version of ApiDemos that comes |
| preinstalled in the emulator. For more information, or if you encounter an "reinstallation" |
| error when running or installing ApiDemos, see the troubleshooting topic |
| <a href="{@docRoot}guide/appendix/faq/troubleshooting.html#apidemosreinstall">I can't install ApiDemos |
| apps in my IDE because of a signing error</a> for information about how to solve the problem.</p> |
