To build android apps doesn't needed all sdk tools, with already included sdk tools on termux repository (aapt, dx, d8, ecj, openjdk-17, apksigner, gradle, maybe some others not listed) is possible to build without much problem.

But yes, I understand and also really would appreciate if all sdk tools were made available.

My suggest is try to build this tools on device and submit pull request when get all working.

Thanks For Your Answer But Still The Main Tool Named Aapt2 is missing and the latest gradle uses aapt2 so at least give me aapt2 support 🙏🙏🙏

So this is a duplicate of #2936.

The only way is try to build from source. Maybe if taking Lzhiyong project in account, will be simple to build(?) because seems isn't needed patchs or many of them(?)

Only other libraries dependencies, which maybe will need to build then for static link is the most hard part, Android.bp says:

NOTE: Do not add any shared libraries.
AAPT2 is built to run on many environments
that may not have the required dependencies.

For completeness sake, what do you think about prebuilt version of aapt2? Or About using your own script to build apks with aapt1 instead of gradle (what force the use of aapt2)?

So this is a duplicate of #2936.

If aapt2 is really the only required tool, yes this is a duplicate and can be closed

I would have packaged this already if it were trivial. Please consider the meaning of "help wanted" label on the request for packaging aapt2.

Sorry For Disturbing You , I just want build tools sdk32 and future release so i requested , but you guys thinking I am spamming , So Sorry to disturb you guys and sorry for taking your precious time

aapt2 will be included in the main repo soon. If it does not work as expected, then open a new issue for that.

If you wish other tools to be included, please open a new issue, preferably one for each tool. "All Android SDK build tools" is too vague for me.
