Installation

cargo install android-rust-cli

Quick Start

# Create a new project (interactive mode)
android-rust new my-app

# Specify template and package name
android-rust new my-app --template standard --package-name com.example.app

# Preview without creating files
android-rust new my-app --dry-run

# See available templates with descriptions
android-rust list-templates

Commands

`new` — Create a New Project

android-rust new <name> [OPTIONS]

Option	Description
`--template <NAME>`	Template to use (standard, multi-module, bottom-nav)
`--package-name <PKG>`	Android package name (e.g., com.example.app)
`--template-path <PATH>`	Use custom templates from directory
`--force`	Overwrite existing files
`--dry-run`	Preview without creating files

`list-templates` — View Available Templates

android-rust list-templates [--template-path <PATH>]

`doctor` — Check Environment

Diagnose your development environment:

android-rust doctor

Checks:

✓ Rust toolchain version
✓ Android NDK installation
✓ cargo-ndk availability
✓ Required Android targets

`completions` — Generate Shell Completions

# Bash
android-rust completions bash > ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/android-rust

# Zsh
android-rust completions zsh > ~/.zfunc/_android-rust

# Fish
android-rust completions fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/android-rust.fish

# PowerShell
android-rust completions powershell > android-rust.ps1

Templates

Template	Description
`standard`	Basic Android + Rust JNI project with single module
`multi-module`	Clean architecture with app, domain, and data modules
`bottom-nav`	Bottom navigation layout with Jetpack Compose

Custom Templates

Use your own template directories:

# List custom templates
android-rust list-templates --template-path /path/to/templates

# Generate from custom template
android-rust new my-app --template-path /path/to/templates --template my-template

Creating Custom Templates

Create a directory for your template
Add a template.toml file:

[template]
description = "My custom Android + Rust template"
features = ["jni", "compose", "custom"]

Use Jinja2 template syntax in files:
- {{ package_name }} — Package name (e.g., com.example.app)
- {{ package_path }} — Package path (e.g., com/example/app)
- {{ jni_package }} — JNI-encoded package (e.g., com_example_app)
Use __package_path__ in directory names to create package structure

Non-Interactive Mode

For CI/CD pipelines, all options can be specified via flags:

android-rust new my-app --template standard --package-name com.mycompany.app

Defaults when stdin is not a terminal:

Package: dev.rodroid.rust
Template: standard (if available)
