∟"aapt package" Command - Resource Code Generation

This section describes the 'aapt package' command to perform the resource code generation step in the Android project build process. The main output is the R.java file in the .\gen folder.

Looking at the output of "ant -verbose debug", I have created this "aapt package" command to perform the resource code generation step of the build process. This is how the command works on the HelloAndroid project:

C:\herong\HelloAndroid>
   \local\android-sdk-windows\build-tools\22.0.1\aapt
   package -v -f -m -M AndroidManifest.xml -S .\bin\res -S .\res
   -I C:\local\android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-22\android.jar
   -J .\gen --generate-dependencies

Configurations:
 (default)
 hdpi
 ldpi
 mdpi

Files:
  drawable\ic_launcher.png
    Src: (hdpi) .\res\drawable-hdpi\ic_launcher.png
    Src: (ldpi) .\res\drawable-ldpi\ic_launcher.png
    Src: (mdpi) .\res\drawable-mdpi\ic_launcher.png
  layout\main.xml
    Src: () .\res\layout\main.xml
  values\strings.xml
    Src: () .\res\values\strings.xml
  AndroidManifest.xml
    Src: () AndroidManifest.xml

Resource Dirs:
  Type drawable
    drawable\ic_launcher.png
      Src: (hdpi) .\res\drawable-hdpi\ic_launcher.png
      Src: (ldpi) .\res\drawable-ldpi\ic_launcher.png
      Src: (mdpi) .\res\drawable-mdpi\ic_launcher.png
  Type layout
    layout\main.xml
      Src: () .\res\layout\main.xml
  Type values
