aapt2 for arm64(android)

[Barterio]

Hi, do you have a clue how to build an aapt2 for arm64 arch?

[JonForShort]

Hi @Barterio , looking at the build script for aapt2 (below), the process seems to be similar to how I did the original aapt.

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/android-9.0.0_r33/tools/aapt2/Android.bp

Here is the patch file I created for aapt.

https://github.com/thejunkjon/android-tools/blob/master/patch/android-9.0.0_r33/frameworks/base/%2B/tools/aapt/Android.bp.patch

If I have time, I'll try to post the binaries for aapt2 as well.

Hi @Barterio, I was able to build aapt2 for arm64.

https://github.com/thejunkjon/android-tools/blob/master/build/android-9.0.0_r33/aapt2/arm64/bin/aapt2

Please give this a try.

Hi @thejunkjon, Thanks for your time and attention for my request.
I will test it and tell you about results.

Can I contribute somehow to this process?

Hi, I am also interested in aapt2 for arm64, I am running android studios on ARM-Linux. Can this binary be run on arm linux?

Can't believe I stumble upon this 🙏 Thank you so much @JonForShort JonForShort

How do ya'll tell Gradle to use the customize downloaded aapt2 binary? I saw this SO post
but looks like android.aapt2FromMavenOverride=path to custom aapt2 binary is deprecated.

For Linux users, eg. using ashai or a raspberry pi:
You can also use qemu to emulate x86_64 binaries on aarch64. If you use binfmt, compiling an app just works, even with aapt2 from maven.
Just register qemu as interpreter for x86_64 binaries like this: https://github.com/tonistiigi/binfmt?tab=readme-ov-file#installing-emulators

And to execute dynamicly linked binaries like aapt2 you might need to install the ld-linux-x86_64.so.2 file from an x86_64 Linux system under /lib64/
