I have older version of the android studio and I am happy from that. I think in newer version of the android studio, the proguard has been updated also.
Now, I want to have the updated version of proguard in my android studio. Is it possible?
You could download a zip distribution of a newer Android release and replace files manually. However this might not work at all because of incompabilities.
I recommend you to update to the latest Version. It has improved a lot since 1.0, but it hasn't changed much (instead added) so you will be able to use it without problems. To use the newer proguard you just have to change one line per gradle script once, which is really no big deal.
Android SDK Manager does not have different proguard feature available as they have like Android support library , Android support reposatory , Google play services and many more but not proguard.
so according to me it is not possible to update only proguard in android studio.

Is there a place where Google publishes source codes for canary builds of Android studio? I can see tags for various versions in here, but the most recent version there is the stable 4.0 version, where I would need a developer snapshot of the current 4.2 version currently being developed.

I'm busy working on a legacy android application on eclipse and I need the latest version of google play services. In particular, I require the value of
#Integer/google_play_services_version. In previous versions this would be stored in
<android-sdk>/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib/res/values/version.xml
however google have chosen to break down this latest version into multiple libraries and I can no longer find version.xml anywhere. If necessary I am willing to hardcode the version number, while not the ideal solution, but I obviously can't find this either. Any tips?
EDIT: I should note that I've successfully installed the latest m2repositry and integrated within my application play-services-ads from the aar inside there.
You can find res/values/values.xml (which contains the google_play_services_version) inside the play-services-basement aar.
Maybe the problem is in using Eclipse. Are you aware that Eclicpse is no longer officially supported for Android Development. Using Eclipse may be preventing you to quickly creating apps and finding the necessary resources to build a project.
To migrate to the Android Studio from Eclipse just follow this tutorial from Google developers.
For your problem about Google Play Service rev 30, I think this threads can help you with that.
Missing “/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject” folder after update to revision 30
There is no libproject inside google play services( Rev. 30) in eclipse Juno
Sir
I have a project having only src and res folder
And I know that it is targets api 22
And it need library Google play service and v7 compat .
How do I create a project in eclipse or Android studio having above things please help?
Refer to this for everything you need to know: http://developer.android.com/develop/index.html
EDIT:
In Android Studio, look in the toolbar for File->New->New Project. Android Studio will guide you through the process and you can specify your target API and things from there on.
Google does not develop the ADT plugin(the required plugin so you can develop android in eclipse) and they recomend you transfer to Android studio. I have had that same problem with appcompat crap and it is solvable in two ways(as far as I have seen):
1: Use Android Studio instead, as it really truly supports all android related dev requirements, including app compat.
2: In your project, set minimum API level to Android 4.0.3 or above. This way you prevent the requirement for appcompat.
I recently transfered from Eclipse to Android Studio, and the transition was easy, and once I found out how I could use the Eclipse keybindings, it was just the GUI that was different. It is really easy geting used to Android Studio, and I recomend you start using it as soon as you can. It will solve most of your problems related to appcompat and other libraries that needs to be added to support earlier versions of Android
As you see on the image, there is a "Minumum required SDK". The minimum SDK and target SDK are two different options, and target should be the newest SDK, while minimum should be(in my opinion) Android 4.0.3 or higher. According to Google, this allows you to reach about 90% of all Android users
EDIT
Using Android Studio, as long as the SDK has everything installed and Android Studio is as new as possible, it will add appcompat v7 automatically without issues. Eclipse's ADT plugin is outdated and probably doesn't support appcompat anymore. I personally preffer eclipse, but due to android issues, I had to move over to Android Studio
In my project I am integrating push notification for that I require classes from com.google.android.gms package.
Is it possible for me to include selected package from whole library?
I am using eclipse. actually there are lot more libraries required, due to which I am facing 65k multidex issue. Any solution?
If you really really want to use the Eclipse to compile this, you need to perform these steps:
Have someone with Android studio include your needed Google components as dependency.
Kidnap the components from exploded-aar Android studio folder and setup the components as your own Eclipse library.
But of course, this is highly not a recommended procedure, but this is for those people who desperately needs it as last resort. This also marks a disclaimer that the kidnapped libraries are already free from the developer's accountability, because you didn't compile it the right way.
PS. Did this with Google Maps
If you want to use selective components of the Google Play Services you will need to switch to Android studio.
Read this: (Source)
Important: Support for the Android Developer Tools (ADT) in Eclipse
has ended, per our announcement. You should migrate your app
development projects to Android Studio as soon as possible. For more
information on transitioning to Android Studio, see Migrating from
Eclipse ADT.
If you still want to continue using eclipse, you'll have to to the hard work yourself - of deleting the unwanted packages/components from the full source code and making sure it compiles and works fine.
Instructions of setting up selective APIs can be found on this page, for android studio. For Eclipse, as the documentation says nothing about setting up selective APIs, you just have to go with the whole set.
NO. you have to migrate your code to Android Studio.
So every time I try to add support library to a project I'm prompted to reinstall support library v8. Its not a major issue because it will get added after install its just an annoying issue. I've tried with both eclipse 3.6 and 3.7. I've also tried to remove support library.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
I reported this bug a month ago. If you have a significantly different environment than the ones listed there, you might want to add your details.
