The JDK is necessary to compile the Java code and pack the binaries. Or maybe you are just curious to learn how the APK building process works under the hood.Īs mentioned earlier, we'll need the JDK and the Android SDK only. Old school programmers just hate the graphical environments.Full control of the building process is necessary to avoid any autogenerated code as much as possible.You are developing your own IDE or some other kind of APK building tool.So, ignoring all those benefits and resorting to the command line is not recommended,īut there are a few reasons why this can be necessary: In this article we'll use Windows, but the same commands can be adapted toĪn Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like Android Studio can automate all these steps into a single click, highlight the language syntax,Īssist with debugging, among many-many other useful features. Necessary tools will be the Java Developer Kit (JDK) and the Android SDK. Omitting all these tools is not a good practice, but it is fine for our minimalistic APK. We won't use Gradle, Proguard and Bundle Tool. In order to keep this process as simple as possible Let's build a simple "Hello World" APK for Android using command line tools only, without IDE.
