What problem does it solve?
The android-cli skill helps you run reliable Android development workflows from the command line without manually guessing SDK setup, device/emulator commands, or the correct CLI subcommands.
Core Features & Use Cases
- SDK management: install, update, remove, and list Android SDK packages using the
android sdk command.
- Project creation & deployment: create new Android projects from templates and deploy APKs to devices via
android create and android run.
- Emulator and UI debugging support: manage AVDs with
android emulator, inspect UI hierarchy with android layout, capture screens with android screen capture, and perform environment diagnostics with android info and related help.
- Documentation and knowledge retrieval: search authoritative Android Developer docs from the Android Knowledge Base using
android docs search.
- Use case: if your CI or local machine fails to build or your UI element can’t be found, use the skill’s CLI guidance to confirm SDK state, run the app, and inspect the layout/screenshot to pinpoint what’s wrong.
Quick Start
Ask the skill: "Help me install the needed Android SDK packages, create an empty-activity project, run it on an emulator, and capture a screenshot for debugging."
