Android SDK 1.1 is available for developers

We have just recently written how the RC33 update has the 1.1 SDK and it is not available for the developers just yet. Without further due, we would like to let you know that the 1.1 version of SDK was announced and is available for immediate download

Reportedly, the following issues have been addressed and fixed:

  • Adds annotations for test systems, no actual (non-test) API changes.
  • Adds a method to allow a process to easily determine its UID.
  • Adds support for marquee in layouts.
  • Adds new methods for determining padding in views. Useful if you are writing your own subclasses of View.
  • Adds new permissions that allow an application to broadcast an SMS or WAP Push message.
  • API cleanup: removes protected constructor from SDK-bound system images.

While it is not a big deal, the speedeness of the upcoming updates definitely shows the development effort Google puts into Android.
