  Description     : base tools for developing applications for the Android system

This source package will build several tools for developing and
building Android applications, e.g.

Draw 9-patch
    Allows you to easily create a NinePatch graphic using a WYSIWYG
    editor. It also previews stretched versions of the image, and
    highlights the area in which content is allowed.

JOBB
    Allows you to build encrypted and unencrypted APK expansion files
    in Opaque Binary Blob (OBB) format.

lint
    The Android lint tool is a static code analysis tool that checks
    your Android project source files for potential bugs and
    optimization improvements.

Android plugin for Gradle
 The Android build system consists of an Android plugin for Gradle.
 Gradle is an advanced build toolkit that manages dependencies and
 allows you to define custom build logic.
 You can build your Android apps from within Android Studio and from
 the command line on your machine or on machines where Android Studio
 is not installed (such as continuous integration servers).

This package will be maintained by the Android Tools Team and is part
of an ongoing effort to package the whole Android SDK eco-system for
Debian.
