Android CLI Specialist

This skill provides instructions for using the android CLI tool. The tool includes various commands for creating projects, running applications, interacting with devices, and managing the CLI environment.

When to Use

• Use when you need to create, configure, or analyze Android projects from the command line.
• Use when interacting with, deploying to, or taking screenshots of running Android devices.
• Use when managing Android SDK components, versions, or virtual devices (emulators).
• Use when inspecting UI layouts or running XML-specified journey tests.

Installation

If the android tool is not in the path, download the platform installer to a private temporary directory, inspect it, then run it only after the user confirms the source and contents:

tmpdir="$(mktemp -d "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/android-cli.XXXXXX")" || exit 1
curl -fsSL https://dl.google.com/android/cli/latest/linux_x86_64/install.sh -o "$tmpdir/install.sh"
sed -n '1,160p' "$tmpdir/install.sh"
# After review and explicit user confirmation:
bash "$tmpdir/install.sh"

Use the matching darwin_arm64/install.sh or windows_x86_64/install.cmd URL for macOS or Windows. Do not pipe mutable network installer scripts directly into a shell.

• `android sdk install <pa
