ADT 22 - missing aapt.exe after upgrading

Question

At work, I need to use maven with Android.

maven uses appt.exe for its own compiling process.

ever since I've upgraded to ADT 22 , maven says it can't find this file, and it's right- the file is gone from "...\platform-tools" .

I've tried to uninstall&re-install the sdk manager and the ADT , but it didn't help.

What can I do to fix this ?

Why is it gone?

EDIT:

For now, I use a workaround of copying (without replacing) all of the old "platform-tools" files into the current one. It seems to work, but maybe it could cause problems.

Answer 1

It's moved to:

path/to/your/android-sdk/build-tools/17.0.0/...

I'm assuming this it to ad versioning to the build tools.

We need the android-maven-plugin to do a fix! As its looking for the files under platform-tools/... which of course they are not anymore.

Update - Fixed

Update your pom.xml to 3.6.0 (or greater). The android-maven-plugin has been updated to support the new structure.

See 3.6.0 Released

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2</groupId>
    <artifactId>android-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.6.0</version>
    <inherited>true</inherited>
    <configuration>
        <sdk>
            <platform>${android.platform}</platform>
        </sdk>
     </configuration>
</plugin>

Temp Fix (Old - See Fix)

As mentioned by the OP, copy the files from /build-tools/17.0.0/... to /platform-tools until the maven plugin is fixed.

For unix users

cp -r build-tools/17.0.0/* platform-tools/

From your android sdk folder.

Answer 2

The correct fix is to clone the android-maven-plugin wich is actually up to date with the latest developper tools but not yet released in central maven repository :

Clone the android-maven-plugin on GitHub and install it in your repo

git clone https://github.com/jayway/maven-android-plugin.git
cd .../maven-android-plugin/
mvn clean install

Then update your pom to use version 3.5.4-SNAPSHOT of the plugin. Everything should work properly !

You need add ~/sdk/build-tools to you $PATH
