Bug#459219: Additional tools



Hi,

thanks for everyone's effort on this.

AFAIK there are only a few more things to add in order to be able to
create android packages in debian (please correct me, if I am wrong on
that):
- aapt (c++, "resource file compiler")
- dx.jar (java, creates dalvik bytecode)
- sdklib.jar (java, creates the apk out of the dalvik bytecode and
compiled sources)
- zipalign (c++, optional as in only aligns the package)
- android.jar (java, actual android library used for creating java
bytecode, different for each api level)

The first four can be used for all android api levels, I think. In which
extend the android.jar is backwards compatible is something, I do not
know.

Of course it would be also nice to have the eclipse plugin but anyway,
with the above written 5(4) components and the existing android-tools
packages, one could start develop using a real phone as an emulator
substitute until the emulator get packaged.

As the sourcecode is available for all these components, 'proper' debian
packages can be created.

Best regards,
   Stefan
