Adding build-tools to env path

[khadersiddik]

Hi,

I recently struggled with issue adding build-tools to environment path in ubuntu-latest runner. I need to sign my apk before uploading to artifact. I see there are few actions on marketplace to sign the apk but unfortunately my organisation blocks those actions providers. I tried doing it manually after setup-android job. But on trying to get the dir ‘$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools’, it fails with error that build-tools doesn’t exist. Can you help me doing this. If build-tools is installed, I will be able to grep the version and add it to the path. Then, I would be able to use zipalign and apksign to sign my unsigned apk.

Thanks

There's no build-tools installed by the command. I confirmed this by calling ls $ANDROID_HOME in the workflow.

However, I found a solution to install build-tools:

      - name: Setup Android build-tools
        run: |
          $ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/16.0/bin/sdkmanager "build-tools;34.0.0"
          echo "$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools/34.0.0" >> "$GITHUB_PATH"

You can find this in here

Hello. By default we do not install any packages, only the cmdline-tools itself. If you want some specific package, you will have to either do as ghost suggested and call sdkmanager, or you can supply a list of wanted packages in your call to this action.

Look into additional-packages section on the main README.md.

- name: Setup Android SDK
  uses: android-actions/setup-android@v3
  with:
    packages: 'build-tools;34.0.0'

You will still have to add the dir to your $GITHUB_PATH if you want those executables to be in $PATH.

- name: Add build-tools to $PATH
        run: echo "$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools/34.0.0" >> "$GITHUB_PATH"

Hope this helps
