The official release of the Android 1.5 SDK is now available!

This new SDK brings the following improvements:

  • Support for Multiple versions of the Android platform (Android 1.1, Android 1.5). The tools are updated to let you deploy your application on any platform in the SDK, which helps you ensure forward and backward compatibity.
  • Android Virtual Devices — (AVD) configurations of options that you run in the emulator to better model actual devices.
  • Support for SDK add-ons, which extend the Android SDK to give you access to one or more external Android libraries and/or a customized (but compliant) system image that can run in the emulator.
  • The new Eclipse ADT plugin (version 0.9.0) offers new Wizards to let you create projects targetted for specific Android configurations, generate XML resources (such as layouts, animations, and menus), generate alternate layouts, and export and sign your application for publishing.
  • Improved JUnit support in ADT
  • Easier profiling of performance
  • Easier management of localized applications.
  • A new tool called "android" replaces the activitycreator script.

You can download it from the Android Developer SDK Download page as well as update your Android Dev Phone 1 (ADP1) with new Android 1.5 system image

Just to let it know, you need to upgrade to 1.5.2 since there is a security risk in 1.5.1 :

As said before you'll find debianized packages at the same place see :

Also if it matters I added a WVGA skin for upcoming devices ...
