Just re-built an old android 1.0 application with the latest sdk (r8); was pretty smooth — all I had to do was:
- Install the official java 6 sdk (
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk). - Download the latest android sdk.
- Install the latest android sdk components.
- Download the latest eclipse ide ("classic" package).
- Install (and configure) the adt eclipse plugin.
- Delete the 1.0 project's
.classpathand.projectfiles. - Create a new "android project" in eclipse in the same directory as the old one (where you deleted the old
.classpathand.project. - Filter out the
.svndirectories in eclipse's build path (if I had installed subclipse or something similar I probably could have skipped this). - Add a new
uses-sdkelement to theAndroidManifest.xmlto ignore some retro-fitted permission requirements. - Increment the
android:versionCodeattribute in theAndroidManifest.xml. - Generate some new android-market graphics (two screenshots, a high-resolution icon, a "promotional" graphic (seems to be used on the market's details page for the app), and a "feature" graphic (seems to be used on the market's top-level page if the app is featured on it).
- Clean rebuild, export the package, test it, publish!
