Java implementation for Android AAPT?

Question

Is there java implementation for Android AAPT ? Any other tools? I need AAPT tool without CPP.

Answer 1

There is no java implementation of AAPT/AAPT2. However, you can call it from java similarly to the way Android Gradle Plugin does. If it's something relatively simple that you want to achieve, perhaps this article could be helpful. Otherwise, have a look at the AGP sources.
