Description-en: Android Asset Packaging Tool
The Android Asset Packaging Tool (aapt) takes your application resource
files, such as the AndroidManifest.xml file and the XML files for your
Activities, and compiles them. An R.java is also produced so you can
reference your resources from your Java code. This tool allows you to view,
create, and update Zip-compatible archives (zip, jar, apk). It can also
compile resources into binary assets.
