Google Android Software Development Kit 1.1 Release 1 is Now Available

Posted on Feb 9, 2009 by Michael Martin PMP in Applications, Open Handset Alliance | 0 Comments

On the Android Developers Blog it is announced that Android SDK 1.1 release 1 is now available to download.

This is follows closely to what has been released as RC33 to current G1 phone users.

Resolved Issues

  • AlarmClock alert now plays audio/vibe directly, rather than through AlarmManager. AlarmClock alert starts playing audio/vibe in its IntentReceiver, rather than on activity start. These changes should prevent alarms from being blocked by modal dialogs.
  • Fixes to device sleep.
  • Single tap no longer opens the in-call dialpad; users now need to touch and drag it.
  • Fixes a bug causing approximately 1 in 25 outbound messages to freeze up the IMAP connection (to a Gmail based server) when transferred to the Sent folder.
  • Removes automatic account setup entries that were broken or not testable. Adds minor fixes to a few of the remaining entries. Makes improvements to warning dialogs used for a few special cases.
  • Changes default mail checking interval to every 15 minutes (instead of defaulting to “never”).
  • Fixes password-quoting bugs in IMAP, so that users can include special characters in passwords (e.g. spaces).
  • Fixes various errors in auto and manual account setup
  • Improves reporting for various connection errors, making it easier for the user to diagnose failed account setups.
  • Fixes new-mail notifications for POP3 accounts.
  • Ensures proper auto-checking of accounts marked as “never check”.
  • Now displays date and time using user preference (e.g. 24 hr vs. AM/PM).
  • Now shows cc: in message view.
  • Improves recovery from POP3 connection failures.
  • POP3 parser rules loosened, so the application can work with non-compliant email servers.
  • Removes green CALL button as a shortcut for “add a new call”.

New Features

  • Maps: Adds details and reviews when a user does a search on Maps and clicks on a business to view it’s details.
  • Dialer: In-call screen timeout default is now longer when using the speakerphone.
  • Dialer: Adds a “Show dialpad” / “Hide dialpad” item to the in-call menu, to make it easier to discover the DTMF dialpad.
  • Adds support for saving attachments from MMS
  • Adds support for marquee in layouts.
