I use Android Studio solely for building my app. Traditionally, I've been aggressive about my updates to Android Studio because gradle allows me to divorce my build+release process from the IDE.
The latests Android Studio Beta release 0.8.+ is clearly aimed at helping developers out with Android-L. There are some changes that make this a little difficult now: 1. minsdk required to be 20. This has been discussed largely and i found a thread http://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/297xli/howto_use_the_v21_support_libs_on_older_versions/ that I believe, would help me to target older versions. 2. I currently use the v13 support library (since i support a minsdk version of 14+), so this cuts down on a lot of additional stuff that i don't require from the v4 & v7 support libraries (hello 64k method limit). But there doesn't exist a v13 library compatible with Android-L (yet) So I guess, here's my question: Is the expectation that we wait until Android-L is released, before we update Android Studio, or can we expect to safely update to Android Studio 0.8.+ right now and expect to continue and release our apps in the interim to the play store targeting KitKat. Cheers. P.S: The demos for AS from Google I/O look really snazzy and the temptation to update is very strong. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "adt-dev" group.
