    • New TypedViewHolder bindings, automatically generated from layout XML to create type-safe and static bindings to layout views
      • val viewholder: TypedViewHolder.XXX = TypedViewHolder.setContentView(activity, TR.layout.XXX)
      • val viewholder: TypedViewHolder.YYY = TypedViewHolder.inflate(inflater, TR.layout.YYY, parent, attachToParent)
      • Limitations
        • <fragment> will be ignored
        • <merge> is treated as android.view.View
        • <include> will be assigned a viewholder val or have all of its views included into the viewholder, depending on whether an id is supplied or the root view type is compatible.
        • repeated ids will result in only 1 holder val being created. colliding names will otherwise have 2..99 appended automatically
        • view types with type parameters cannot be expressed directly nor handled. This has always been an issue with TR, workaround by using <view class="viewTypeWithParameter">. As a result <view class=...> will not be processed for the class name and will resolve to android.view.View
        • IntelliJ will not properly recognize that the TypedViewHolder is correctly typed, force a type ascription as above and ignore the resulting error highlight rather than allowing IntelliJ to infer, see SCL-10491
        • This is compilation-time binding only. Any runtime layout changes: additions/removals will not be handled
      • Enabled by default if scala is present in project, disable by setting typedViewHolders := false, requires typedResources to be enabled.

    • Usability fix for proguardCache rules changing; automatically force clean build when the rules are changed
    • Implement support for resConfigs see resource shrinking
  • 1.6.4:
    • Do not enable dexInProcess unless explicitly turned on (fails in too many configurations to enable automatically)
  • 1.6.3:
    • Further bugfixes around android builder initialization
    • add dexMainClassesRules to set keep rules for dex main file
    • add typedResourcesFull to toggle full TR feature support

    • gen-android now creates a sample.scala under src/main/scala and the java sample under src/main/java is no longer generated.
      • javacOptions is also set to target java 1.7 if the current JVM is detected to be running Java 8
    • exclude transitive bouncycastle from Android build tools, allows use of latest sbt-pgp. Override the dependency on "org.bouncycastle" % "bcpkix-jdk15on" % "1.51" as necessary.
  • 1.5.18:
    • Fix compatibility with sbt 0.13.11, see sbt/sbt#2476 and sbt/sbt#2354
    • Make rasterizing vector drawables optional, set renderVectorDrawables to false if minSdkVersion < 21 and using the new 23.2 support-vector-drawable and animated-vector-drawable libraries
    • Default minSdkVersion to 7 if not set, keeps in line with appcompat-v7 was previously 1...
  • 1.5.17:
    • Fix proguardCache regression; was requiring both package.name and package/name to be specified in order to function properly
    • Default targetSdkVersion to the platform level specified in platformTarget if not otherwise specified explicitly
  • 1.5.16:
    • Report the project name when hitting the platformTarget missing error
    • Fix another race condition regarding R.java generation
    • Fail build load when androidBuild* is applied to a project multiple times
  • 1.5.15:

    • Fix errors when importing buildJar into IntelliJ
  • 1.5.14:
    • check if JNI sources have changed instead of running ndk-build blindly
    • move android-sdk-plugin generated, global content into ~/.android/sbt, two entries under this location are exploded-aars and predex.
      • This speeds up builds by re-using existing aar packaging and allowing aar archives to be pre-dexed for use with protify and v21+ multidex
  • 1.5.13:
    • Allow duplicate aar dependencies in non-diamond project graphs
    • Fix adb-wifi for Android 6.0

  • 1.5.12:
    • fix missing sources in buildJar's packageSrc
    • try to fix a long-standing bug with R.java generation race, make packageResources depend on rGenerator

    • Update to android builder 1.5.0
    • Fix TypedLayoutInflater when inflating into a container
    • Add flavor+buildType source directories/manifest overlays automatically
    • Add apkDebugSigningConfig, allows custom debug signing configuration
    • support for rendering VectorDrawable to png for pre-lollipop, place VectorDrawables into res/drawable and they will be converted to mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi and xxhdpi rasters automatically when minSdkVersion is below 21. Do not put vectors into drawable-anydpi-v21, those will not get rasterized automatically.
      • To clear the lint errors from using <vector> images, add this line into lint.xml: <issue id="NewApi"><ignore path="src/main/res/drawable"/></issue>
    • Can now properly build u2020 automatically using android-gradle-build and a few settings in build.sbt:
      • retrolambdaEnabled := true

  • 1.5.6:
    • Fix logcat, allow passing arguments
    • Load flavor, buildType, applicationId, versionName and code into BuildConfig automatically
    • No longer de-duplicate JNI libraries automatically, this must be managed using packagingOptions
    • Warn when using dependsOn(androidSubProject) incorrectly
  • 1.5.5:
    • warn when aar dependency versions are improperly configured (thanks @tek)
    • colorize logcat, force -v brief for marshmallow compatibility (fixes pidcat for marshmallow as well)
    • cache all common library predexing into $HOME/.android/predex; project-specific libraries, including all aars, remain in target/intermediates/predex
    • changed all android.Keys._ to automatically be in Android. It is no longer necessary to specify in Android when configuring android settings
      • If re-using these keys from another configuration using inConfig(CONFIG), then they will need to be explicitly set as androidKey in CONFIG. Should not affect normal usage.
  • 1.5.4: update checker fix
  • 1.5.3:
    • Fix bug when there are 2 android sub-projects and using a command that accepts the /PROJECT option (would select the incorrect project)
    • Start work on an experimental android.dsl API
  • 1.5.2:
    • Add an entirely new, alternative, flavors and buildTypes system.
      • Configure by adding buildTypes in Android += (("name", List(settings))) or the same for flavors in Android.
      • Load the variant configuration by using the variant[/PROJECT] [BUILD_TYPE] [FLAVOR] command, run variant[/PROJECT] by itself to see current variant status and available flavors and/or build types.
        • Alternatively, load a default variant by adding android.Plugin.withVariant("PROJECT-ID", Option("BUILD-TYPE"), Option("FLAVOR")) into build.sbt
      • LIMITATIONS: Any set command must occur prior to calling variant or else the set command will reset all variant settings
    • warn if exportJars is set incorrectly on dependency projects
    • automatically set project for pidcat, adb-runas, adb-kill when possible. Also allow appending /<project> to any of those commands
      • adb-kill now uses am force-stop when running against a device api 11+
  • 1.5.1:
    • add android:debug command to wait for debugger to connect on app launch
    • properly include assets from transitive aar and apklibs
    • change androidBuildWith and buildWith to accept ProjectReference arguments instead of Project
    • build optimizations for multi-project builds (more transitive library fixes, thanks @tek)
    • ensure consistent usage of useProguardInDebug, proguardScala, etc.
      • fix typedResources to default to the value of autoScalaLibrary not proguardScala
    • turn lintFlags into a task, rather than setting
    • add predexSkip defaults to all local library projects, defines jars which should be included in main dex (for sharding, etc)
  • 1.5.0:
    • build outputs completely refactored, genPath, binPath, and other settings have been removed; outputs are completely configurable by setting outputLayout in Android to a function ProjectLayout => BuildOutput 
      outputLayout in Android := {
  val base = (outputLayout in Android).value
  (p: ProjectLayout) => new android.BuildOutput.Wrapped(base(p)) {
    // example: changes default from "target/android/intermediates"
    // to "build/steps"
    override def intermediates = p.base / "build" / "steps"
  }
}
      • Project flavor build outputs also updated (no longer go into flavor-target, instead just flavor/), no longer work in conjunction with android.AutoBuild, androidBuild must be explicitly set when working with flavors.
    • apkbuildExcludes and apkbuildPickFirsts have been removed, use packagingOptions in Android in conjunction with the PackagingOptions object
    • Renamed dexMainFileClasses, dexMinimizeMainFile, and dexMainFileClassesConfig to dexMainClasses, dexMinimizeMain, and dexMainClassesConfig, respectively.
    • Renamed retrolambdaEnable to retrolambdaEnabled
    • Add extraAssetDirectories
    • Dex sharding with minSdkVersion 21 or higher, dramatically improves incremental build times, enable by setting dexShards in Android := true
      • Add dexLegacyMode to set when predexing optimizations and sharding are disabled; automatically true when minSdkVersion < 21
      • Disabled parallel dx from 1.4.14, it creates too much of a cpu/memory load
    • Add inProjectScope(project)(settings...) to make it easier to configure multi-project builds

    • add a dex method counter, spits out number of methods in all dex files, aids in deciding when to add additional proguard-cache rules, and switching to/from multi-dex
    • Enhanced proguard-cache jar processing, no longer messes up conflicting case-sensitive filenames (can now proguard-cache obfuscated jars)
    • Fix apklibs source generators when using build flavors
  • 1.4.0:
    • This version is not entirely backward compatible with 1.3.x; TR.scala and proguardCache have undergone significant changes.
    • Some code re-organization, internal settings hidden from public view (can still be accessed by defining SettingKey and TaskKey manually as required)
    • Add android:bootClasspath for use with robolectric
    • Unused resource shrinker, enable with shrinkResources in Android := true
    • Conversion of some settings to tasks: packageName, manifest, packageForR, versionName, versionCode, minSdkVersion, targetSdkVersion
    • TypedResource improvements, now uses value class extensions for runtime performance improvements (all apps must now use scala 2.10+)
      • Renamed TypedViewHolder in favor of a single TypedFindView, removed TypedView, TypedActivity, TypedActivityHolder, TypedDialog
    • Proguard cache improvements, no more ProguardCache DSL, instead, add package prefix strings to cache directly to proguardCache in Android (Seq[String])
    • Add extraResDirectories setting for additional overlay-resources. For use with build flavors, etc.

        • android:lintFlags: optional flags for lint
        • android:lintStrict: fail the build on lint errors, default false
        • android:lintDetectors: lint rules to detect, default: API level issues

    • split test from android:test (better support for robolectric)
    • manifest placeholders, set manifestPlaceholders in Android
      • Map[String,String] for key:values to replace in AndroidManifest.xml
      • Placeholders are expanded using ${key} syntax
      • Can be dynamically configured as it is implemented as an SBT task
  • 1.3.11:
  • 1.3.10:
    • adb-kill command: kill the currently running package process (if not foreground)

    • #82 add NDK_PROJECT_PATH environment for ndkbuild
    • #84 package dependsOn managedResources
    • #85 sourceManaged = gen
    • minor ndk build fixes (apkbuild depends on *.so)
  • 1.3.3: Add ApkSigningConfig, PlainSigningConfig, PromptStorepassSigningConfig and PromptPasswordsSigningConfig. These various signing configurations allow control over prompting for keystore and key passwords. The default is PlainSigningConfig which observes the original behavior from ant builds (reads properties out of local.properties). Set apkSigningConfig in Android to one of these variants to perform non-default behavior.
    • Also added androidBuildWith() project decorator, replaces androidBuild(projects) and dependsOn(projects)
  • 1.3.2: add AutoPlugin support for 0.13.5
    • Auto-set localProjects when using android.Plugin.androidBuild(...)
    • When gen-android, gen-android, and android.AutoBuild require 0.13.5 if on the 0.13.x sbt line.
    • Some refactoring of classes out of android.Keys, should be mostly compatible still.
  • 1.3.1: add android:apkbuild-pickfirsts works like android:apkbuild-excludes but picks the first occurrence of the resource.
    • A bug in com.android.tools.build:builder, android bug #73437, prevents PackagingOptions from working correctly with JNI libraries. A workaround is implemented copy all JNI to a single location first.
  • NDK build process, similarly to ANDROID_HOME, set ANDROID_NDK_HOME to the location where the Android NDK is installed. Alternatively, ndk.dir can be set in a local.properties file for the project.
    • libs will be generated into binPath / "jni" and obj will drop into binPath / "obj"
    • Pre-generated JNI libraries will no longer be pulled out of jni (nor src/main/jni) -- they will be taken from libs (or src/main/libs)
      • This does not apply to aar and apklib--they will be pulled out of appropriate locations per their spec.
    • javah is automatically executed on all classes that have native methods in their signatures. The header files are generated into sourceManaged and are available to include in native sources and Android.mk by adding LOCAL_CFLAGS := -I$(SBT_SOURCE_MANAGED)
    • collect-jni no longer copies libraries, it only assembles a list of directory names for packaging
  • Global plugin installation friendly
    • For sbt 0.13, add to ~/.sbt/0.13/plugins/android.sbt
    • addSbtPlugin("com.hanhuy.sbt" % "android-sdk-plugin" % "1.4.15")
  • New commands, all commands have proper tab-completion:
    • gen-android - creates android projects from scratch with sbt plumbing
    • gen-android-sbt - creates SBT files for an existing android project
    • logcat - supports all regular options, non-polling (-d by default)
    • pidcat - logcat the current package or specified package with TAG filters
    • adb-ls - ls on-device
    • adb-cat - cat a file on-device
    • adb-rm - rm a file on-device
    • adb-shell - execute a shell command on-device
    • adb-push - push a file to device
    • adb-pull - pull a file from device
    • reboot-device renamed to adb-reboot
  • Existing commands available globally
    • devices, device, adb-wifi
  • AutoBuild support, (created automatically with gen-android), set your build to be object Build extends android.AutoBuild and settings will be automatically applied to projects as necessary.
  • Update to latest com.android.tools.build 0.12.x
    • Now requires android build-tools 19.1.0 or newer
  • minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion are now SettingKey[String] and no longer SettingKey[Int] (support android-L)
  • Instrumentation tests are now located in src/main/androidTest instead of src/main/instrumentTest (match layout generated by android create project)
  • android:dex task now returns a folder for the output dex not a classes.dex file.

New features in 1.2.x (last version: 1.2.20)

  • Add setting android:debug-includes-tests (default = true) to automatically include instrumented test cases in the debug APK instead of using a separate test APK. This feature improves IntelliJ testing integration.

    • As a result of this new feature, if there are any libraryDependencies in test that must be honored, the setting must be disabled, and a separate test APK must be created. An alternative is to include the test dependencies in the normal compile. Proguard will automatically strip these out in release builds if they are unused.

    • This setting may be ignored, or set to false if one does not have tests or does not want to include the test cases in the debug package.

    • If the setting is disabled, test cases will be generated into a test APK when running android:test

    • When generating release builds, it is important to clean, otherwise test artifacts may be left over and present in the released apk.

    • When using included tests, it is necessary to add the following proguard options, or else proguard will mistakenly remove test cases from the output:

      proguardOptions in Android ++= Seq(
  "-keep public class * extends junit.framework.TestCase",
  "-keepclassmembers class * extends junit.framework.TestCase { *; }"
)
  • Add ability to disable manifest merging if upstream libraries have bad manifest settings, set mergeManifests in Android := false, default is true
    • Disabling manifest merging will remove automatic import of Activities, Services, BroadcastReceivers, etc. from the library's manifest into the main application manifest
  • Increase test timeout to 3 minutes, from 5 seconds, configurable by using the instrumentTestTimeout setting key, in milliseconds
  • 1.2.18: zipalignPath has changed from a Setting into a Task
