Method of packaging Android application through command line under Linux

This paper introduces the method of packaging Android application through command line under Linux, and shares it with you as follows:

Requirements

Ubuntu 16.04 sdk tools for linux Java 8

Prepare the environment

Installing Shell Tools

sudo apt install -y wget unzip git

Installing JDK

sudo apt install -y openjdk-8-jdk
#  View the results 
java -version

Initialize directory and environment variables

BUILD_BASE=`echo ~`

export ANDROID_HOME=$BUILD_BASE/android_sdk
mkdir -p $ANDROID_HOME

export REPO_BASE=$BUILD_BASE/repo
mkdir -p $REPO_BASE

export REPO_USERNAME=xxx
export REPO_PASSWORD=xxx

export PROJECT_HOME=$REPO_BASE/android-preference
export OUTPUT_RELEASE_DIR=$PROJECT_HOME/easy-preference/build/outputs/aar/release

Installing the SDK tool

cd $ANDROID_HOME

# download
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip

# unzip
unzip sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip

# export environment variables
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

Configuring License

mkdir -p $ANDROID_HOME/licenses
echo -e "\nd56f5187479451eabf01fb78af6dfcb131a6481e" > $ANDROID_HOME/licenses/android-sdk-license

Download source code

cd $REPO_BASE
# clone
git clone -b develop 
git clone https://$REPO_USERNAME:$REPO_PASSWORD@github.com/hziee514/android-preference.git
# pull
git pull origin develop:develop
# branches
git branch
git checkout -b develop

Build

Dependencies need to be downloaded on the first run, which may take a long time

cd $PROJECT_HOME
chmod +x gradlew
./gradlew :easy-preference:assembleRelease

Output

$OUTPUT_RELEASE_DIR/easy-preference-release.aar
