About:
The Android SDK provides the essential command-line tools and libraries required for developing Android applications. It includes the Android Debug Bridge (ADB), emulator, and platform tools needed to build, test, and debug apps. This package is the foundational toolkit for any Android development workflow outside of a full IDE.

Key Features:

Android Debug Bridge (ADB) for device communication
Android Emulator for testing apps on virtual devices
Platform tools for building and debugging APKs
SDK Manager for installing platforms and components
Fastboot for flashing device system images

Use Cases:

Building and debugging Android applications from the command line
Automating Android testing and deployment in CI/CD pipelines
Developing Android apps without the full Android Studio IDE

Alternatives:

android-studio – Full IDE with integrated SDK tools and GUI, whereas android-sdk is a lightweight, command-line only package
