5. replace aapt2

cd project-dir
echo "sdk.dir=$ANDROID_HOME" > local.properties

6. build apk!

cd project-dir
gradlew

😳

What about.abb

Hello! I've been reading Zenbit Tech blog for a couple of weeks now and thought I'd finally comment on one of their articles. I like the idea of creating an app to help protect data on AWS Architecture Areas using the encryption method—I think it would be a good fit for me because I'm a web developer and have experience working with Amazon Web Services (AWS). It would also be something that I could do with my current skills, so I don't have to take time away from my day job to learn new things.

Getting error with this "apt install default-jdk-headless openjdk-8-jdk-headless unzip aapt2"

Apt2 don't exist something

Same problem.

When I tried to follow with the instructions regardless, gradlew silently failed, claiming that the build completed successfully.

If you want to create apps on Android, you can use this
https://github.com/itsaky/AndroidIDE
It's not an advertisement, I just want to help people, who doesn't have 64 bit system. Because i see, that some people couldn't create app with method in the top of the thread(of the page)

No such file or directory

Oh good but it requires a phone with substantial ram

In that case you can use CodeAssist, either the official one or the unofficial Deenu's CodeAssist. (This one recommended)

dear @tmatz

What does this line do?

find ~/.gradle -name 'aapt2-*-linux.jar' -type f | xargs -I{} jar -u -f {} -C /usr/bin aapt2

@kristian-nygaard-jensen
aapt2-*-linux.jar includes aapt2, but it is built for amd64.
jar -u -f aapt2-*-linux.jar -C /usr/bin aapt2 replaces aapt2 in the archive by installed one which is built for arm64.

For API version 35 be aware of termux/termux-packages#22667.

Why is AndroidIDE abandaoned? Too sad...

E: Unable to locate package aapt2
