Hello all, Starting last week, we have started a migration of the way tools development work in AOSP. Originally, the development was done in the main "master" branch, alongside the Android platform, and everything was built with Make.
Last year we introduced Gradle as the way to build the Java libraries used by the host. We have now unbundled the tools from the rest of the platform. What does this mean: - Using 'make' in the main master branch will not build the dev tools anymore. Right now the projects for the dev tools are still there but there will disappear. - There is a new branch to checkout only the dev tools projects, and they build exclusively with Gradle (at least as an entry point, we still call out to make/ant/maven/gant to build various tools) The new branches are called 'ub-tools-idea133' (current dev branch), and 'ub-tools-master' for future work. There is no need to use -g anymore to restrict the projects that are checked out. The instructions to start building are: repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b ub-tools-idea133 repo sync cd tools ./gradlew assemble There is also a "makeSdk" task that will build the SDK Tools component of the SDK. I'll update tools.android.com later today. -- Xavier Ducrohet Android SDK Tech Lead Google Inc. http://developer.android.com | http://tools.android.com Please do not send me questions directly.
