Getting AAPT and ADB

Both ADB and AAPT are required for this program to work. A ToolGrabber utility is included in the project, which will automatically download necessary packages from Android project repositories and extract the required tools. Simply run it on the command line If you prefer, you can also:

• Download the latest release of platform-tools (which contains adb only) from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools#downloads
• Download the whole Android SDK suite and get platform-tools (adb) and build-tools (aapt) using the SDK manager
• Download the packages directly from Google's Android repositories (listing can be found in xml form at https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository-12.xml)
