Create Android project from the command line

Question

Is there any tool, to create a Android project form the command line?

There was the tool android from the command line tools to do this. This tool is no longer supported.

I would like to do the complete development from emacs. With the actual command line tools, it is only possible to build and debug.

Answer 1

There are three solutions that come to my mind (and all of them are alternatively good in varying degrees):

1. Create a new command line tool that creates an android project using IntelliJ API of Android Studio.

2. Use GUI automation scripting . That option is awkward but works for these who can't make themselve program in Java. Depending on your platform you can use:

   • AppleScript for macOS
   • Autoit for Windows
   • Something else (Tcl/Tk/expect or Python and tinter or pywinauto or maybe LDTP , Cobra , PyATOM .)

3. Do nothing and just wait until googlers create such a command line tool themselves.
