I'm using ant to build my android app (ant compile, ant install and so on) and I'm adding some NDK sources (inside jni/ directory) and I want to have a rule to recompile the jni/ directory with ant and THEN install my app into my device/emulator, like this:
$ ant jni-and-install
Instead of:
$ make -f jni/Makefile APP=myapp
(jni compilation & installation)
...
$ ant install
I was trying to find the place to put my rules in build.xml but I don't know where.
What should I edit for ant to call make on jni/ directory before installing into device?
You could use the exec ant task :
<target name="install">
<!-- ... -->
</target>
<target name="jni">
<exec executable="make">
<arg line="-f jni/Makefile APP=myapp"/>
</exec>
</target>
<target name="jni-and-install" depends="jni, install"/>
You can use an exec ant task for this. I think putting the following in your -pre-build target in build.xml will do the trick:
<exec executable="make" failonerror="true">
<arg line="-f jni/Makefile APP=myapp"/>
</exec>
Edit: JB's solution allows for things like ant jni to build the jni code without building the rest of your project. You can get the best of both worlds by wrapping the above in a target named "jni" and then adding depends="jni" to your -pre-build target.

I've been trying to compile a NDK project using ant (ant release), but to make this possible I need to set the local.properties with the following line:
ndk.dir=/{my-path}/android/android-ndk-r9
I would like to add this in my .bash_profile, but I tried with all this variables:
export ANDROID_NDK=/{my-path}/android/android-ndk-r9
export NDK=/{my-path}/android/android-ndk-r9
export NDK_ROOT=/{my-path}/android/android-ndk-r9
export NDK_PATH=/{my-path}/android/android-ndk-r9
export NDK_HOME=/{my-path}/android/android-ndk-r9
Any body knows how to fix that?
you can try to use
<exec executable="/{my-path}/android/android-ndk-r9/ndk-build.cmd" failonerror="true"/>
Another way, you can tell ant to use your variables by adding
<property environment="env" /> befor the exec line.
for example set variable NDK_DIR and use it in the ant.properties file using "env.VAR" like
ndk.dir=${env.NDK_DIR}
or in my case:
<exec executable="${ndk.dir}/ndk-build.cmd" failonerror="true">
<env key="ABI" value="armeabi-v7a"/>
</exec>
I am trying to build an Android Project using Apache Ant through Command Line but it is giving me Build Failed with the following error statements:
Java.io.IOException: Cannot run Program. "..\android_sdk\platform-tools\aapt.exe"
D:\MediaSync\build.xml:429: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "..\android_sdk\platform-tools\aapt.exe"
I am new to this thing so i am not getting any idea how to get over this error. Searched alot about it but still scratching my head..
Anybody any idea about it then please tell me.
EDIT: Here are parts of my Buil.xml file
<!-- General SDK location -->

Make sure aapt.exe is installed at the correct path relative to your build.xml file (../android_sdk/platform-tools). That path is likely relative to your project, but not the build.xml.
I encountered the same problem on a 64-bit fedora platform and finally worked it out following this: http://blog.mx17.net/2012/10/25/android-on-ubuntu-ioexception-on-aapt/
It had failed because of trying to run a 32-bit program on an 64-bit architecture.
Maybe this would help.
Your error message says:
D:\MediaSync\build.xml:429: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "..\android_sdk\platform-tools\aapt.exe"
while your aapt.exe is located in:
C:\android-sdk-windows\sdk\platform-tools\aapt.exe\
Obviously the build.xml tries to search D:\ for android_sdk\platform-tools\aapt.exe, which is the wrong path.
There should be a property for you to specify the path of aapt.exe, or it reads from system's PATH varibles.
To get a solution, post the lines around line 429 in build.xml. In line 429, there should be a <exec> task, be sure to include the whole content of that task (copy from <exec ...> to </exec>).
There is a bug in the intellij android studio and perhaps other IDEs that points to platform-tools for some executables/libs that now live in build-toos. A workaround for now is to make sim-links fof the necessary files.
So on linux/mac
platform-tools$ ln -s ../build-tools/android-version-blah/bin/appt appt
and
platform-tools$ ln -s ../build-tools/android-version-blah/lib lib
for Windows, install LinkExtensions and replace ln with mklink and read the help from typing mklink with no args. In Windows, the file would be appt.exe
A quick fix you can do is copy the aapt.exe and lib folder from the build-tools to the platform-tools folder.
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.
I have android test project that i've integrated into the Hudson. I have created a free-style software project with next settings :
1. Source Code Management - custom workspace
2. Run an Android emulator during build :
* Android OS Version: 4.0.3
* Screen density: 240
* Screen resolution: WVGA
* Device locale: en_US
* SD card size: 16M
3. Invoke Ant:
Target: all clean emma debug install test
Build File: workspace/Project/build.xml
4. Post-build Actions
* Archive the artifacts: **/*test-TEST.xml
* Publish JUnit test result report: **/*test-TEST.xml
* Record Emma coverage report: **/coverage.xml
* Record fingerprints of files to track usage: **/*test-TEST.xml
Here's build.xml file part that covers my ant target:
<!-- version-tag: custom -->

Now, this project works fine and i get both emma coverage and test results, but when i configured multi-configuration project with the same options, except for android emulator i set different variables with os, density and screen resolution, i got stuck with one error -

For emma coverage i had to change path in Hudson into /Users/biercoff/Work/Workspace/HarnessExternalTest/coverage/coverage.xml to make it work,
but when i tried to do the same thing for Junit test results, Hudson refused to "see" it. File is in the project folder under junit-results folder, but everytime i run new build, i get the same No test report files were found. Configuration error? error message. Tried many variations, but no luck. I'm missing probably something really tiny. Could somebody help me, please?
Hudson searches for jUnit test results relative to its workspace. And you can't specify an absolute path (I've been using Hudson/Jenkins for more than a year and still not sure why not). So in your case it is looking only at things that are deeper in the directory level than the workspace. Now, for a multi-congiguration project the workspace does not start at the top level, but deeper - it includes axes names (e.g.: workspace_root/AXIS1_NAME/AXIS1_VAL...). But your tests are located up the directory tree from that workspace. You have to copy them in a build step into ${WORKSPACE} and then Hudson will be able to publish them.

what can be the problem? and how to solve it.
Thanks !!
Just encountered the same issue. It seems to be related to spaces in path at the time ant tries to start dex.bat with parameters:
<exec executable="${dx}" failonerror="true">
<arg value="--dex"/>
<arg value="--output=${basedir}/${intermediate.dex}"/>
<arg value="--positions=lines"/>
<arg path="${build.classes.dir}"/>
</exec>
The project won't run if ${basedir}, ${intermediate.dex} or ${build.classes.dir} contain spaces.
Parameters for batch files have to be encapsulated with "...". But how to do this when ant starts the batch file?
My quick workaround was to move the folder of my netbeans android project (not all projects) to a path that doesn't contain spaces.
Indeed it is a 'space in path' problem of Android SDK.
Other than that I'd strongly recommend you to update to newer version of both NetBeans and NBAndroid plugin.
