We are working on the following things (and more): - - * Supporting other architectures than `armeabi-v7a` and compilers other than GCC 4.9 - * Eliminating the big ugly deprecation message from the console output of Bazel - We also have a nice way to speed up the edit-compile-install development cycle for physical Android devices and emulators: Bazel knows what code changed since the last build, and can use this knowledge to install only the changed code to the device. This currently works with L devices and changes to Java code and Android resources. To try this out, take an `android_binary` rule and: * Set the `proguard_specs` attribute to `[]` (the empty list) or just omit it altogether |
