New: Reference any Java library
Until this version we only supported referencing a jar file (java library) that acts as a stub for an Android package (APK) that is already on the device. In this version we introduce support for referencing any Java library. This includes the Android support library. This is a major step indeed.For convenience, we have added assemblies for the Android support library so that you do not have to download it yourself. Just add a reference to dot42.AndroidSupportLibrary.v4.dll (or dot42.AndroidSupportLibrary.v13.dll) and you are ready to use the entire support library.
We ported the Support4Demos code sample that comes with the Android support library to C# to demonstrate the use of this library. See <MyDocuments>\dot42\Samples\Various\Support4Demos.
New: Improved framework support
We added support for several .NET types (including System.TimeSpan) and improved and fixed the support of many base types such as System.Double and System.Float. With these improvements come various compiler fixes related to structs. Note that this does not mean that structs are now fully supported.New: Improved Android manifest support
We added support for the <provider> element of the AndroidManifest.xml file by means of the Dot42.Manifest.ProviderAttribute. Attributes of he <provider> element correspond to properties of the ProviderAttribute.Previously, all manfiest element attributes that were defined in an Android version later than the minimum Android version of your project, were not available as properties of the corresponding attributes in the Dot42.Manifest namespace. Using them resulted in a compile error. As of this version, all properties are now available. This allows you to use newer properties if you set your target SDK version beyond the minimum version. Note that you cannot use properties beyond your target SDK version.
New: Improved ApkSpy
The opcodes of instructions in both dex files as well as java files are now visible in the Apk Spy:
Change: Target SDK version
The previous version added a property on the PackageAttribute to set the Target SDK version. This property has been removed. You should now specify the Target SDK version in your Visual Studio (MSBuild) project. Go to the project properties and select the Android tab to change this version.
Change: Android framework interfaces starting with 'I'
Few interfaces in the Android framework follow the .NET interface naming pattern of INameOfInterface. Previously, these interface were prefixed with an 'I' like all other interfaces resulting in a double II. As of this version, these interfaces are no longer prefixed with an additional 'I'. For example Android.Os.IIBinder is now Android.Os.IBinder.Fixed: ADB installation task did not report all possible installation errors
It does now.Fixed: Enum types with underlying type other than int causes verify errors
The following line caused a verify error:public enum MyEum : sbyte {...}
This has been fixed.
Fantastic work ....
