...release?

(since there seem to be so many issues with it).

Hard to say...

some new bugs block essential things (passing bundle from one activity to another just won't work properly )
but also some things simplified and some useful new features were added.

I upgraded when it was released. Expect frustration ... and if you are not lucky about 1 day of code-changing.

Sooner or later you'll have to upgrade.

If you want to remain with the old version, stop working on UI-stuff now
Expect weird layouts after upgrading... (because of all the gui changes)

Hi plusminus,
What "new features were added" do you consider necessary (in general)?
Are the "weird layouts" and other issues because of incompatibility between old code and new SDK - or is it due to bugs in the new SDK? In other words, if my UI is only a little done and I code to the new SDK API, I wonder if I still have problems.
thanks,
Anil

Not nothing really essential was added/removed (as far as I can see now), but some things were simplified.
There are also some new bugs in the new sdk, but if you will experience them depends on your code ^^

I tried to say that your GUI will not look the same on the new SDK, what leads (with me) to some frustration.
The sizes of the widgets heavily increased, because the new GUI is designed for Touch-functionality.

You could keep your GUI simple and concentrate on the program-logic, but I would prefer upgrading.
