Android build system, apk cannot be installed

[Nikhil S Nair]

Hello All,

I have tried to build an apk of a sample project. But the when i create an apk using an Android.mk file, the dex files are getting stripped off from the apk. 

When i try to install, Invalid apk error is shown. Kindly provide your suggestions on how to rectify this isssue.

NOTE: I have already tried 

mm DEX_PREOPT_DISABLE = true

and 

adding the same in my mk file.

Thank you for your time

You need to tell the build system that you are building an unbundled app and not a platform build.  You can do that with:

source build/envsetup.sh

tapas AppName

make

or with:

make TARGET_BUILD_APPS=AppName

Thank you for your answer , but I got the solution. I was building for a specific Target so the Android support libraries resource directory had to be mentioned separately .

Thank you all, for your time
