We are pleased to announce the general availability of Spring for Android 1.0!

Spring for Android supports usage of the Spring Framework in a Android environment.

This GA release includes minor fixes and improvements since the RC1 release. See the changelog and reference manual for more information.

A significant change in this release is that the default RestTemplate constructor no longer includes any message body converters. However, an alternate constructor allows you to include a standard set of message converters, similar to previous releases. See the API Javadoc and Reference Manual for more details on this change.

Dear Spring Community,

We are pleased to announce that the second release candidate of the Spring Mobile project is now available!

Spring Mobile provides extensions to Spring MVC that aid in the development of cross-platform mobile web applications.

Here is an overview of the new features and functionality:

• Tablets are no longer recognized as mobile devices
• Added support for resolving tablet devices in LiteDeviceResolver.
• Added a new DeviceType enumeration consisting of NORMAL, MOBILE, and TABLET values.
• The Device interface now includes isNormal(), and isTablet() methods in addition to the existing isMobile() method.
• WebOS devices are now recognized as a mobile device in LiteDeviceResolver
• Improved the SiteSwitcherHandlerInterceptor by adding an URL path alternative to "dotMobi" and "mDot" for site switching. The switcher is now capable of switching between "normal" and "mobile" URL paths within the same domain. For example an about page for a normal site may be "http://www.domain.com/about", and the mobile site may be "http://www.domain.com/m/about"
• You can now configure a list of "normal" User-Agent keywords in the LiteDeviceResolver. It may happen that a device is falsely identified as mobile. This list of keywords takes precedence over the mobile and tablet keywords, effectively overriding the default behavior.

See the changelog and reference manual for more information.

Dear Spring Community,

We are pleased to announce that the first release candidate of the Spring for Android project is now available!

Spring for Android supports usage of the Spring Framework in a Android environment. The 1.0.0.RC1 release focuses on updating support for the latest Spring Social release in native Android applications, as well as providing enhancements to Rest Template. This includes:

• Support for Spring Social 1.0.2.RELEASE, and Spring Security 3.1.0.RELEASE through the Spring for Android Auth module, which includes a SQLite datastore for persisting OAuth API connections.
• Updated RestTemplate support, now at the level of Spring Framework 3.1.0.RELEASE.
• Added support for Basic Authentication.
• Added AssetResource for accessing static resources stored in the assets directory of an Android project.
• Removed automatic loading of GsonHttpMessageConverter due to incompatibilities with preinstalled versions of Gson on some devices.
• Improved gzip support in RestTemplate.
• Now defaulting to standard J2SE facilities (HttpURLConnection) in Gingerbread and newer, as recommended by Google.
• Disabled connection reuse on Eclair and older versions when using HttpURLConnection, because of a defect in connection pooling on those versions of Android.
• Added several additional bug fixes and improvements.

Spring for Android is supported in Android version 2.1 (API Level 7) and higher.
