Android CLI DocsBuild Android apps with any AI agent.

What is Android CLI? ​

Android CLI is a command-line interface that enables you to more easily and efficiently build for Android using any agent of your choice. It standardizes core development competencies for agent-first workflows, providing an entry point to the official tools, skills, and knowledge you need to develop more effectively.

For example, an agent or script can use the CLI to automate environment setup, scaffold new projects from templates, and manage virtual devices directly from your terminal. It also gives your agents access to Android skills and the specialized Android Knowledge Base.
