Outdated: Building the Debug Binary Package
This section provides a tutorial example on how to build the debug binary package of the HelloAndroid application using the Apache Ant tool and the build file.
This tutorial was based on Android SDK R17 with Android 4.0.3 and left here as a reference.
Let me try to build the "debug" binary output first.

By looking at the output, I think my HelloAndroid binary package, HelloAndroid-debug-unaligned.apk, is ready to be tested on the Android emulator.
