It's just that it's mostly a work in progress that's been delayed due to other priorities. I hope we can start working on it again soon. At the moment you can drag and drop items from the palette into the layout, but you cannot modify items with the mouse once they're placed. The items properties are editable through the Properties view of Eclipse. Our biggest challenge was making sure the rendering was as close as possible to Android, and able to render custom views (the editor uses an subset of the Android framework running in Eclipse to do the rendering). Now, there is a lot of work left on the interactivity side of the editor.

Re: GUI screen builder for android apps
The next version of the plugin will have rudimentary drag'n'drop in the preview tab. (Note that you can already edit all the existing object properties through the Eclipse property tab.) The most complex work was to ensure that the rendering in Eclipse would the same as on the device. Now that this is mostly done, there is still have a lot of work to be done to make a full featured layout editor, and while we do intend to keep working on it, there are other higher priority items that will delay the GUI builder. That said, we will accept high quality patches that improve in the current user experience of the editor (or any other tools).

Re: Extending Android SDK with 3rd party vendor add-ons
This is very much a work in progress that is not ready to be used. But to answer some of your questions: - there will be a feature added to the build system to build your add-on. It's just not there yet. - to add your library to the device system image, please read: http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/618971d3f7608f4c/c09b6000c94890cb Xav On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 1:56 PM, Josh Guilfoyle jast...@gmail.com wrote: I have noticed recent support coming into the master branch that seems to support vendor add-ons to extend the public API. Is this support something we can start using today, and if so, how? I'd like to introduce a few extra classes to a vendor-specific SDK API and have supporting implementations running on the emulator but it's unclear exactly how to connect these mechanics in the current master branch. For instance, how do I get my vendor-specific jar files added to the add-ons folder in the make sdk target? And, how would I connect the source code into the existing build system such that the implementation makes its way to the system.img? This is a long term goal and does not necessarily need to be backward compatible to the 1.0 or 1.1 SDK releases. -- Xavier Ducrohet Android Engineer, Google. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups android-framework group.

Re: how to build and step through HelloAndroid in the debugger using the open source framework?
Both Activity Creator and ADT are designed to work with an SDK. You could build an SDK (make sdk) to create/build your project (using Ant or ADT). Then, when you connect your debugger to your running application, you can configure it to go look for the source code both in your project folder and in the android tree (I would start by pointing it at frameworks/base/core/java/). This will probably require to do a manual connection with DDMS (instead of using the launch configuration from ADT).
