How to build my own Android SDK

Question

I work on my own android device which has many new APIs (but @hide decorated). My goal is to provide an android sdk to develop on it and use these new APIs.

So my questions is : How to build my own android sdk with these new APIs ?

If the @hide decorated is a problem, i can remove them (I don't have to respect the CDD)

Answer 1

You can use this command

make -j8 PRODUCT-sdk-sdk showcommands dist

here, you can a discussion about it : https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-building/Y0xduZPWtUs

Answer 2

I think the concept of SDK is being misunderstood here.

If you want to release a set of code (API) on top of the Android SDK (Utilities, math libraries, what have you?) just mark your project as a library (Project properties -> Android -> Tick "Is Library") so other Android projects can link to it easily.

Upload the project somewhere like Github and spread the link so others can use it.
