title: Including Android Apps Into Android Image
body: <p>If you're building an Android image from the AOSP source how do you package custom apps into the image? My understanding is that to build the Android image you follow the steps here: <a href="https://source.android.com/source/building.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://source.android.com/source/building.html</a> and to build the Android SDK you follow essentially the same steps but build the sdk target (e.g. <code>make sdk</code>). You then use the SDK to build an application using gradle but how do you include the resulting apk as part of the Android image?</p>
