How to make Android apps without IDE from command line
But failed while trying with AppCompat layout, tried the following command line but still no luck
aapt package --auto-add-overlay -f -m -J $SRC_BASE/build/gen/java -M $SRC_BASE/src/AndroidManifest.xml -S $SRC_BASE/src/res -S /path/to/appcompat/v1.2.0/res -I /android-home/platforms/android-23/android.jar

Anybody have success with AppCompat and other libraries without gradle, only using pure java, and android sdk tools ? (ant is also fine.)
Build the android app without gradle for simple app without app-compat. The following code is working fine for simple android app.(reference for if anyone interested.)
