Please do update the wiki so that when I (and others) come to do the
same (which I'm planning to do soon) we can benefit from your learning.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
on the Debian 12 Bookworm operating system I want to make android apps.
I would follow the advice on these websites:
https://wiki.debian.org/AndroidTools
and
https://wiki.debian.org/AndroidTools/IntroBuildingApps
Following the latter web page, the following command cannot be
executed on Debian 12:
apt install android-sdk-platform-23
because no such package is in the repository!
So, what can I do to achieve my goal?> How can I solve this problem
So, following the
https://wiki.debian.org/AndroidTools/IntroBuildingApps page, I skipped
the installation of the android-sdk-platform-23 package, because it is
not in the package repository.
But I ran the following commands:
$ mkdir ~/Git
$ cd ~/Git
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/Matrixcoffee/hello-world-debian-android.git
$ cd hello-world-debian-android
$ make
You are obviously missing one or more packages. In this thread,
there were some hints on how to find out which.
and when I ran make I got the following error message:
aapt package -f -m -J src -S res -M AndroidManifest.xml -I
/usr/lib/android-sdk/platforms/android-23/android.jar
asset W 05-20 10:57:00 68768 68768 Asset path
/usr/lib/android-sdk/platforms/android-23/android.jar is neither a
directory nor file (type=1).
ERROR: Asset package include
'/usr/lib/android-sdk/platforms/android-23/android.jar' not found.
make: *** [Makefile:31: src/coffee/source/helloworld/R.java] Error 1
I'd try installing one or more of the packages you see when doing
"apt search android-platform". That said, apt-file-search doesn't
find a file named "android.jar", so there might be something else
amiss.
My hunch is that the "-23" in your package name hints at a version
number which might be obsolete. But I don't know.
Thank you very much, there is now a little progress here!
I found several packages in the debian package repository:
...
google-android-platform-21-installer/stable 21+r2.1675172738 all
google-android-platform-22-installer/stable 22+r2.1675172738 all
google-android-platform-23-installer/stable 23+r3.1675172738 all
google-android-platform-24-installer/stable 24+r2.1675172738 all
...
and of course I installed the
google-android-platform-23-installer/stable 23+r3.1675172738 all
debian package .
Now the make command above will find the android.jar file,
but I get another error message:
make: /usr/lib/android-sdk/build-tools/debian/dx: No such file or directory .
So I must install google-android-build-tools-23.0.3-installer debian
package too.
To run make successfully, I just had to change the apksigner command
to the signapk command, since the apksigner package is no longer in
the debian package repository.
What remains is to edit the Makefile so that the signapk can do its job.
Then I hope I can successfully create this apk file.
Thank you all very much for your help!
The only reason I wouldn't use Android Studio is because my hardware
doesn't have enough RAM: I need at least 32GB, and I only have 6GB.
