+ <p>The Android SDK has changed! If you've worked with the Android SDK before,

+ <div class="toggle-content-toggleme" style="display:none">
+ <ul style="padding-bottom:.0;">
+ <li style="margin-top:.5em">The SDK downloadable package includes <em>only</em>
+ the latest version of the Android SDK Tools.</li>
+ <li>Once you've installed the SDK, you now use the Android SDK and AVD Manager
+ to download all of the SDK components that you need, such as Android platforms,
+ SDK add-ons, tools, and documentation. </li>
+ <li>The new approach is modular — you can install only the components you
+ need and update any or all components without affecting other parts of your
+ development environment.</li>
+ <li>In short, once you've installed the new SDK, you will not need to download
+ an SDK package again. Instead, you will use the Android SDK and AVD Manager to
+ keep your development environment up-to-date. </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p style="margin-top:0">If you are currently using the Android 1.6 SDK, you
+ do not need to install the new SDK, because your existing SDK already
+ includes the Android SDK and AVD Manager tool. To develop against Android
+ 2.0, for example, you can just download the Android 2.0 platform (and
+ updated SDK Tools) into your existing SDK. Refer to <a
+ href="adding-components.html">Adding SDK Components</a>.</p>
