Android 0.9 SDK beta
This is the first release of the Android SDK that is formally on the path to Android 1.0. The release is considered beta. (Previous releases were considered early looks at the SDK, and were not formally on the path toward Android 1.0.) This release may not be fully compatible with Android 1.0, when released, meaning that applications you build using this SDK may not run on final Android 1.0 devices. However, the differences between this release and final 1.0-compatible releases are expected to be small. No major API changes are planned.
This beta SDK release contains a large number of bug fixes and improvements from the early-look SDKs. The sections below describe the highlights of the release, but do not provide an exhaustive or comprehensive list of changes. For additional detail, see the API Changes Overview, the API Differences Report, and the main SDK documentation.
