General improvements:
+
+
    +
  • Application Templates +
      +
    • Added Android application templates to allow developers to create specific types of +applications faster, using Android-recommended best practices.
      • +
    +
    • +
  • Performance +
      +
    • Improved overall ADT performance and fixed memory issues. Loading SDK data +should be up to 30% faster.
      • +
    +
    • +
  • Tracer for GLES +
      +
    • Added new perspective view and tools for tracing OpenGL calls for an application and +track the visual results of each call. (more info)
      • +
    +
    • +
  • Lint +
      +
    • Added new Lint rules for manifest registrations, duplicate activity +registrations, security checking, correct use of Toast, missing SharedPreferences commit() +calls, Fragment class instantiation, and handler leaks.
      • +
    • Created tighter integration of lint with the layout editor. (more info)
      • +
    • Added execution of Lint tool on save option for Java files. (more info)
      • +
    +
    • +
  • Layout Editor (more +info) +
      +
    • Added highlighting (in bold) for important attributes, inline preview of colors and +images, including the corresponding resource name.
      • +
    • Added display of default values, when available.
      • +
    • Added completion of resource values and enum and flag constants.
      • +
    • Added support for displaying advanced properties, and nested properties for better +categorization, for example, layout params are listed first as a single nested property.
      • +
    • Display Tooltips over the attribute names, not values, so they never obscure the value +column.
      • +
    • Provided checkbox support for boolean values.
      • +
    • Added support for switching between alphabetical and natural sort orders.
      • +
    • Improved layout editor tool's window management for more usable editing views.
      • +
    • Improved the layout editor's configuration chooser header user interface.
      • +
    +
    • +
  • XML Editing +

      • +
    • Added automatic ProGuard support for the {@code aapt -G} flag. This change causes +the build system to generate a temporary ProGuard keep-rules file containing classes that +are referenced from XML files (such as custom views) and pass this to ProGuard at shrink-time. This +can make the resulting APK much smaller when using just a small portion of a large library project +(such as the Android Support library), since the catch-all rules to keep all custom views from the +default ProGuard configuration file have also been removed.
      • +
    +
    • +
  • Added support building and debugging NDK-based Android projects.
    • + +
  • Added support to the Asset Studio Wizard for padding and turning off background +shapes.

(This feature is available only for Run configurations, and not for Debug or JUnit +tests.)
