tensorflow build fails with “BUILD file not found on package”

I trying build tensorflow_demo for android with Bazel, but I get this error:
ERROR: no such package 'tensorflow/tensorflow/examples/android': BUILD file not found on package path.
I have build file in directory (MacOS):
/Users/pavelgosteev/tensorflow/tensorflow/examples/android
build command:
(tensorflow) MBP-Pavel:tensorflow pavelgosteev$ bazel build //tensorflow/tensorflow/examples/android:tensorflow_demo
What's wrong? Why can't Bazel see build file?

I think you need one fewer "tensorflow" in the build target name. Try:
bazel build //tensorflow/examples/android:tensorflow_demo
Further instructions can be found in the Tensorflow Android tutorial.

Build application from command line

I'm trying to build an apk file from command line. I created a sample project usng the following command:
android create project --target 1 --name MyApp --path ./MyProject --activity MyActivity --package com.example.myapp
Which created the following structure:
/bin
/res
/src
/libs
AndroidManifest.xml
ant.properties
build.xml
local.properties
proguard-project.txt
project.properties
Now when I try to build the project, I get:
$ gradle build
gradle will not execute and completion _gradle exists.
I couldn't find any info on this error, so I ran:
$ _gradle build
_arguments:comparguments:312: can only be called from completion function
user has logged on pts/7 from :0.0.
Any hints on what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

android create project creates project in structure expected by Eclipse, not gradle based (Android Studio) projects.

I was able to build the apk using the following lines:
ant debug
adb install bin/HelloWorld-debug.apk

how to generate apk using ant

i want to know how can we generate apk file using ant script. i came to know that we can use "ant debug" command to do that.but when i am running this command it is returning error that " Target "debug" does not exist in the project". i am using ant1.7.0.is it the issue?i have tried given below code to generate apk.
<target depends="build-subprojects,build-project" name="build">
<jar destfile="bin/test.apk" basedir="bin/classes" >
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="test.Main" />
</manifest>
</jar>
</target>
but the generated apk is different from auto generated apk while build the app using eclipse.Please guide me.

but when i am running this command it is returning error that " Target "debug" does not exist in the project"
Then you did not create your Android project properly, or you modified your build.xml file, or something else is broken.
As a test, I just ran the following command from my /tmp directory on Linux:
android create project --target android-17 --path Foo --package com.foo --activity Foo
I then changed into the Foo directory and ran ant debug. The app compiled, and in my bin/ directory is Foo-debug.apk.
If you are not getting this sort of result, delete your build.xml file and run android update project --path ..., where ... is the path to your project, to create a fresh build.xml file.

How to build apk using commandline

I Want to build apk using commandline, I am using ant server by using it I am building apk with commandline but when I give this command ant debug it shows error BUILD FAILED Unable to locate tools.jar and then it gives error source resource doesnt exist

This might be because your JAVA_HOME is not set to your C:\Program Files\Java\jdk folder.
instead it might be set to C:\Program Files\Java\jre so it's not getting tools.jar.
just check out this.
You can do this in this way:
C:\>set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk
C:\>ant debug
You need tools.jar file from your jdk/lib/ folder.

Build android project from command line

I would like to build and android project from command line on Linux. In the root directory of the project there are the following files and directories:
AndroidManifest.xml build.xml default.properties res/ src/
Can you provide a sample Makefile how to build this project?

Do you have 'ant' installed? Try ant debug

The build.xml file is input to the Ant program, which will build your project. Use "ant build"
