About:
Android Command-line Tools provide a subset of the Android SDK utilities for managing packages, building Android apps, and debugging directly from the terminal. These tools include essential commands like sdkmanager for installing SDK packages and avdmanager for managing virtual devices. They are a lightweight alternative to the full Android Studio IDE for CI/CD pipelines and headless environments.
Key Features:
  • sdkmanager for installing and updating Android SDK packages
  • avdmanager for creating and managing Android Virtual Devices
  • Supports headless operation for automation and CI/CD
  • Includes lint and other static analysis tools
Use Cases:
  • Automating Android builds in continuous integration environments
  • Managing Android SDK components without installing the full IDE
  • Setting up Android development environments on servers or containers
Alternatives:
  • Android Studio – Full-featured IDE with GUI; includes command-line tools but is much heavier.
  • android-sdk – Broader package that includes system images and platforms; commandlinetools is a smaller, focused subset.
