What this skill does
Android CLI Specialist This skill provides instructions for using the android CLI tool. The tool includes various commands for creating projects, running applications, interacting with devices, and managing the CLI environment. When to Use Use when you need to create, configure, or analyze Android projects from the command line. Use when interacting with, deploying to, or taking screenshots of running Android devices. Use when managing Android SDK components, versions, or virtual devices (emulators). Use when inspecting UI layouts or running XML-specified journey tests. Installation If the android tool is not in the path, download the platform installer to a private temporary directory, inspect it, then run it only after the user confirms the source and contents: Use the matching darwinarm64/install.sh or windowsx8664/install.cmd URL for macOS or Windows. Do not pipe mutable network installer scripts directly into a shell. SDK Management To manage the installation of Android SDKs and tools, use the sdk command. For example: android sdk install <package>[@<version>]...: Install specific packages. Multiple packages can be specified, separated by spaces. <version> defaults to latest. For example: android sdk install platforms/android-30@2 platforms/android-34 android sdk update [<pkg-name>]: Update a specific package or all packages to the latest version. android sdk remove <pkg-name>: Remove a package from the local SDK. android sdk list --all: List installed and available SDK packages. Project Creation Create projects from templates using the create command. For example: Interacting with Devices For more information on interacting with running devices, see here. Running Journey Tests For more information on running journeys, see here. Doc Searching The docs command searches authoritative, high-quality Android developer documentation in the Android Knowledge Base. …
