Google has released the first stable version of Android SDK 1.5.
One very important improvement is the full support of Android 1.1.

The new Android SDK 1.5 has very good improvements, just look for the Release Notes
Yesterday we received the invitation for the third ’stammtisch’ (meet-up) at the Oberholz in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
Start will be at 19 o’clock, again, on 29th April 2009. Everybody who want to take part is welcome. Just check out the event on Xing.

The next release will include many improvements and new features. The Android SDK 1.5 Highlights are very interesting but the main point i am looking forward to is the support of multiple versions of Android in a single SDK installation. That will take development to the next level.
