New release (slightly delayed)

There is a new release of DroidDraw (r1b8).  Its a little late in arriving due to by recent bout with the dreaded flu.  This also caused me to miss the Boston Android campfire, I'm pretty disappointed about that.  Anyway, finally, I've got it together to release a new version, including standalone applications for Windows, OS X and Linux.

Highlights include:

• Support for loading, editing and saving strings.xml, colors.xml and arrays.xml resources in an easy, intuitive manner.
• The addition of AnDroidDraw an application which runs on an Android device/emulator and allows DroidDraw to download GUI layouts to the handheld device for previewing.

Enjoy!

Full Support for Android-m5

Well, after a few days of hacking, I'm happy to say that DroidDraw now has (as far as I can tell) nearly full support for the latest release of the Android SDK.  Check it out at: droiddraw.org.

I'm still working on some upcoming changes for the new stand-alone release (cool stuff, I promise you!)  

But in the meantime, if you crave the latest DroidDraw as a standalone, the .jar file is a double-clickable executable on most platforms (or you can run java -jar droiddrawr1b7.jar)

Please let me know if you run into any problems with the generated layout files and Android SDK m5.

Thanks!

Would you like roses with that release?

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm down in NYC (installing a very cool piece of robotic art at Exit Art in Chelsea) and away from my sweetheart [don't worry, we're going out to a belated valentine's dinner tomorrow...]

This means I have a chance to begin to hack DroidDraw to work with the new Android SDK.

So, release r1b6 is now available (applet only).  The only major change is that the "id" attribute in the layout .xml is now "android:id" per the changes in the new SDK.

Currently the new Android default GUI look and feel is not supported.  I will work on incorporating this in the coming week.  I expect to have it done by the Boston campfire on Feb. 23rd which I will be attending (and talking about DroidDraw...)

Please let me know if you find anything that breaks.  I've already discovered several small changes in the layout .xml.
