Is it possible to build an android application on the web?

Question

Android

Good time of the day. Interested in the possibility of such an implementation:
There is an android application, there are source codes, now it is being assembled from android studio.
There is a task: to implement a web interface where it will be possible to assemble the application many times.
More specifically: a person registers, receives a link to download the application. Applications users will install themselves, of course, uploading to Google.Play is not necessary.
Can this be organized? By what means?
There was an idea to use Ant. But I did not understand how ...
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Can.
Here are the commands in the console that will build the apk for you:
android update project --subprojects --name YOURNAME --target 1 --path .
ndk-build -j4 TARGET_PLATFORM=android-9 NDK_DEBUG=0
ant release
What and how the user can change before starting the build is a separate issue. And these commands can be pulled with some kind of python, and the python is already from the web.
There are all sorts of Jenkins and other helpers in the assembly, but for your purpose it seems to me easier to call these three commands by hand.
