Android Development Perspective
Android development now has it's own perspective, and no longer contributes functionality to the Java perspective. This keeps Android functionality from cluttering up the Java development when you are working with multiple projects. There is also a Android Database perspective which provides additional functionality when working with SQLite databases.
Maven Support via the M2E-Android project
For Maven support, please install the latest M2E-Android tooling. The p2 update site is: http://rgladwell.github.io/m2e-android/updates/master
You can import an existing android maven project and m2e will handle configuration for the new plugins.
JDK 1.8 project support
Android projects may specify JDK 1.8 as the compiler level. Creating new projects defaults to JDK 1.7, but projects may choose JDK 1.8. this is necessary for some third party tooling that allows back porting of Java 8 features to Java 7.
Convert ADT projects to Andmore
You can convert your existing ADT projects and workspace to work with Andmore. Select a project, and bring up the context menu, then select Configure->Convert to Andmore Project. The project will be updated to allow Andmore to recognize it as a Android project. This currently only works for existing Android Developer Tools projects, Android Studio projects that are using the old legacy directory structure should use the Import->Android->Existing Android Code into Workspace. Project support for Android Studio Projects is planned in an upcoming release.
Integration with Memory Analyzer and Database Development Tools
Andmore provides the ability to analyze Dalvik Heap Dumps, and work directly with SQLite Databases via the Emulator. Use the Android Database perspective and have a running Emulator to access any SQLite Database and manage it directly.
All the functionality of Android Developers Tools
Since Andmore is a fork of the Google Android Developer Tools for Eclipse, all the existing functionality for work with your Android applications is still there. More is to come in the upcoming milestone releases.
