AndroidIDE Version v2.7.1-beta Changelog

This patch release primarily focuses on making AndroidIDE available on F-Droid and includes some minor fixes.

Thanks to all the people who have contributed to this release (including our Crowdin translators).

Important notes

• AndroidIDE is now accessible on F-Droid! Please be aware that F-Droid builds have a distinct signature. Installing these builds over existing GitHub versions or vice versa will result in installation failure.

Additions

• Users with multiple JDKs can now select the JDK for Gradle builds in IDE Preferences -> Build & Run -> JDK version. Changes take effect after restarting AndroidIDE.

Removals

• The $PREFIX/etc/ide-environment.properties file is no longer used for setting environment variables in Gradle builds or the terminal.

Bug fixes

This release addresses the following issues:

• Resolved a bug causing the 'Clone repository' feature to consistently fail (#1608).
• Fixed occasional NullPointerException during the creation of ActionData for editor text actions.
• Resolved an IllegalStateException occurring when the build finishes after the activity is destroyed (#1604).
• Corrected the use of an invalid publishing version name for Gradle Plugin and LogSender dependencies in F-Droid builds (#1620).
• Fixed the issue where the IDE failed to recognize the installed JDK 21 (#1616).
• Addressed occasional crashes when putting the IDE in the background due to non-existing openedFiles.json file (#1621).
• Fixed incorrect display of project synchronization message when executing 'Sync project' action with unsaved Gradle files (#1594).
• Resolved build failure caused by apply plugin: '...' syntax in Gradle build scripts with a 'no repositories are defined' error (#1274).
• 'Cancel build' action now properly cancels project initialization.
• Set android:foregroundServiceType for LogSenderService to prevent crashes when targeting API 34.
• Resolved inconsistent behavior caused by a duplicate preference key in keyboard-related terminal preferences (#1624).

We believe that you'll have a delightful experience using AndroidIDE v2.7.1-beta!
