Parsing Project Configurations

[SDRausty]

BuildAPKs could parse project configuration files to integrate libraries:

1. Some of the configuration files are:

• app/build.gradle
• build.gradle
• gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
• proguard-project.txt
• proguard.cfg
• project.properties

What other configuration files desire parsing?

2. How should libraries be handled by BuildAPKs:

• Should libraries be downloaded, symlinked and linked into the project that is being compiled?
• Should the libraries be downloaded, cached and unpacked into the source code? This method may be more transparent while working with the project sourcecode.

3. How should the build scripts integrate the tasks of parsing, downloading and linking these libraries into each individual project? Device space is important while working with multiple projects.

[SDRausty]

Warning: A script that uses a library does not run as quickly as it would if all the code were contained within a single script project. Although libraries can make development and maintenance more convenient, you should use them sparingly in projects where speed is critical. Because of this issue, library use should be limited in add-ons.

@HemanthJabalpuri thank you for sharing these links. I wanted to parse them, so I used the raw portal, i.e. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/t-arn/java-ide-droid/master/0_build-prod.bat

Since adding artifacts and libraries is one of a few ways to resolve building source code that depends on libraries and artifacts, this issue #2 is open to resolve parsing project configuration files by adding artifacts.

[SDRausty]

In comment #1 (comment)_ the number of errors are condensed by type of error. What is the minumun required to resolve errors 1, 2 and 3?

@SDRausty
I will tell you the detailed steps for this in a week as a new repo of me.
Above errors are because of appcmpat library is missing.

@HemanthJabalpuri modifying android.jar might be better than adding libraries. Hence #3 is created...

[SDRausty]

add support for

Adding support for APK projects can be resolved in many ways. The following topics are created in seeking routes toward integration:

• Adding Artifacts  #2 Adding Artifacts
• Modifying android.jar Files on Device (building the aapt, ecj, dx and apksigner packages) #3 Modifying android.jar

[SDRausty]

This d3b5e22 commit adds a simple database with instructions to https://github.com/BuildAPKs to assist in parsing projects. A goal is building the ENAMES file. The README.md has instructions and information.

[SDRausty]

This aa2fde9 commit, and accompanying commits in shlibs.sh and shlibs.bash create B*NAMES files in ~/buildAPKs/var/db with this workset:

• login
• build date
• download size
• build time
• number of AndroidManifest.xml files found
• number of APKs built
• names of built APKs

[SDRausty]

This https://github.com/BuildAPKs/db.BuildAPKs repository is created to assit in parsing repository files. File opt/db/BNAMES holds statistics: GitHub login, build time, repository projects *.tar.gz download size, AndroidManifest.xml files found and built APKs found for each login that successfully built APK on device.

@HemanthJabalpuri any comments about ~/buildAPKs/build.github.bash https://github.com/HemanthJabalpuri shall hopefully be helpful:

@SDRausty
I don't know what's going wrong in your script.
I know only basic shell scripting.

You can build Android-Explorer app with build_old.sh and build_new.sh scripts from the repo.

Those are very basic scripts.

[SDRausty]

@HemanthJabalpuri the https://github.com/HemanthJabalpuri/AndroidExplorer/tree/master/libs directory is present, and:
Loading artifacts and libraries into the compilation: Adding 3 artifacts and libraries from directory /data/data/com.termux/files/home/buildAPKs/var/cache/lib into build HemanthJabalpuri-AndroidExplorer-3bf49e5: Adding 9 artifacts and libraries from directory /data/data/com.termux/files/home/buildAPKs/sources/github/users/hemanthjabalpuri/HemanthJabalpuri-AndroidExplorer-3bf49e5/libs into build HemanthJabalpuri-AndroidExplorer-3bf49e5: Adding 959 artifacts and libraries from directory /system into build HemanthJabalpuri-AndroidExplorer-3bf49e5: DONE

but the error persists

res/values/styles.xml:7: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar'.

and the resources are present

grep -ir "Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar" HemanthJabalpuri-AndroidExplorer-3bf49e5/ HemanthJabalpuri-AndroidExplorer-3bf49e5/libs/res-appcompat/values/values.xml: <style name="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light"> HemanthJabalpuri-AndroidExplorer-3bf49e5/libs/res-appcompat/values/values.xml: <style name="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"/> HemanthJabalpuri-AndroidExplorer-3bf49e5/res/values/styles.xml: <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

So I am not sure what aapt package wants to know to compile.

I know only basic shell scripting.

I am impressed by your work @HemanthJabalpuri and I will continue to study grep -ir aapt HemanthJabalpuri-AndroidExplorer-3bf49e5/ in the hope of successfully compiling your projects on device.

[SDRausty]

@HemanthJabalpuri adding the following line to aapt package enables compilation of https://github.com/HemanthJabalpuri/AndroidExplorer:

--auto-add-overlay -S libs/res-appcompat -S libs/res-cardview -S libs/res-design -S libs/res-recyclerview \

It does not run as expected after granting phone permission for some unknown reason.
