Build Android Studio app via command line

Question

I want to build an Android Studio app (the Gradle build system), but I want to do this via the command line.

Answer 1

Official Documentation is here:

To build a debug APK, open a command line and navigate to the root of your project directory. To initiate a debug build, invoke the assembleDebug task:

gradlew assembleDebug

This creates an APK named module_name-debug.apk in project_name/module_name/build/outputs/apk/.
