Google Releases Full Android 3.0 Honeycomb

Google on Tuesday announced that the full SDK for Android 3.0 is now available to developers.

"The APIs are final, and you can now develop apps targeting this new platform and publish them to Android Market," Xavier Ducrohet, Android SDK tech lead, wrote in a blog post.

Along with the new platform, Google said it is releasing updates to its SDK Tools (r10) and ADT Plugin for Eclipse (10.0.0). In the ADT Plugin, Google had added: new palette with categories and rendering previews; more accurate rendering of layouts that will more faithfully reflect how layouts look on devices; selection-sensitive action bars to manipulate View properties; zoom improvements, including fit to view, persistent scale, and keyboard access; and improved support for "merge" layouts and layouts with gesture overlays.

Google also added Traceview integration for easier profiling from ADT and tools for using the Renderscript graphics engine. More details are available on the Android 3.0 Platform Highlights page.
