Out of curiosity, can you use ant to initialize the project? I just think it would be more convenient, having only one initializer to worry about, rather than two.
Are you talking about ant.apache.org ?
You can try it.
Honestly, 3rd tools & environments usually can not fits as perfect as official tools. Using official initializer can reduce the risk at each platform’s version upgrade.
I don’t mean have it replace android’s initialization steps, or build_native.sh. Instead, I just though it would be better to use ant to replace create-android-project.bat and create-android-project.sh.
