+
+<p>The Android SDK includes a variety of custom tools that help you develop mobile
+applications on the Android platform. The most important of these are the Android
+Emulator and the Android Development Tools plugin for Eclipse, but the SDK also
+includes a variety of other tools for debugging, packaging, and installing your
+applications on the emulator. </p>
+
+<dl>
+ <dt><a href="emulator.html">Android Emulator</a></dt>
+ <dd>A virtual mobile device that runs on your computer. You use the emulator to design,
+ debug, and test your applications in an actual Android run-time environment. </dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="adt.html">Android Development Tools Plugin</a> (for the Eclipse IDE)</dt>
+ <dd>The ADT plugin adds powerful extensions to the Eclipse integrated environment,
+ making creating and debugging your Android applications easier and faster. If you
+ use Eclipse, the ADT plugin gives you an incredible boost in developing Android
+ applications.</dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="hierarchy-viewer.html">Hierarchy Viewer</a></dt>
+ <dd>The Hierarchy Viewer tool allows you to debug and optimize your user interface.
+ It provides a visual representation of your layout's hierarchy of Views and a magnified inspector
+ of the current display with a pixel grid, so you can get your layout just right.
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="draw9patch.html">Draw 9-patch</a></dt>
+ <dd>The Draw 9-patch tool allows you to easily create a
+ {@link android.graphics.NinePatch} graphic using a WYSIWYG editor. It also previews stretched
+ versions of the image, and highlights the area in which content is allowed.
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="ddms.html" >Dalvik Debug Monitor
+ Service</a> (ddms)</dt>
+ <dd>Integrated with Dalvik, the Android platform's custom VM, this tool
+ lets you manage processes on an emulator or device and assists in debugging.
+ You can use it to kill processes, select a specific process to debug,
+ generate trace data, view heap and thread information, take screenshots
+ of the emulator or device, and more. </dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="adb.html" >Android Debug Bridge</a> (adb)</dt>
+ <dd>The adb tool lets you install your application's .apk files on an
+ emulator or device and access the emulator or device from a command line.
+ You can also use it to link a standard debugger to application code running
+ on an Android emulator or device.</dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="aapt.html">Android Asset
+ Packaging Tool</a> (aapt)</dt>
+ <dd>The aapt tool lets you create .apk files containing the binaries and
+ resources of Android applications.</dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="aidl.html" >Android Interface
+ Description Language</a> (aidl)</dt>
+ <dd>Lets you generate code for an interprocess interface, such as what
+ a service might use.</dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="adb.html#sqlite">sqlite3</a></dt>
+ <dd>Included as a convenience, this tool lets you access the SQLite data
+ files created and used by Android applications.</dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="traceview.html" >Traceview</a></dt>
+ <dd> This tool produces graphical analysis views of trace log data that you
+ can generate from your Android application. </dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="othertools.html#mksdcard">mksdcard</a></dt>
+ <dd>Helps you create a disk image that you can use with the emulator,
+ to simulate the presence of an external storage card (such as an SD card).</dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="othertools.html#dx">dx</a></dt>
+ <dd>The dx tool rewrites .class bytecode into Android bytecode
+ (stored in .dex files.)</dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="monkey.html">UI/Application
+ Exerciser Monkey</a></dt>
+ <dd>The Monkey is a program that runs on your emulator or device and generates pseudo-random
+ streams of user events such as clicks, touches, or gestures, as well as a number of system-
+ level events. You can use the Monkey to stress-test applications that you are developing,
+ in a random yet repeatable manner.</dd>
+
+ <dt><a href="othertools.html#activitycreator">activitycreator</a></dt>
+ <dd>A script that generates <a
+ href="http://ant.apache.org/" title="Ant">Ant</a> build files that
+ you can use to compile your Android applications. If you are developing
+ on Eclipse with the ADT plugin, you won't need to use this script. </dd>
