[tool] AIPPackager and Installer - create installers for your RT Desktop apps [14/01]

This version/thread retired
new version - with source - can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36854150
This release composes of two parts:
The RTDPackager which creates an AIP file, and AIPInstaller which is the installer for these AIP files.
V1.1 of RTPackager release - now fully functional.
AIPInstaller Usage
Place the exe file and associated DLL in a folder somewhere sensible. I have not tested in ProgramFiles yet but the app elevates UAC so should be ok.
Double click on any AIP file (I include one as an example) and windows willl show this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
select 'more options' which will show this:
check the check box at the top and then click 'Look for another app on this pc'
A browse dialog will open - find and select AIPInstaller and you are done. You only need to do this the first time. I intend to add an auto install to this, so in future you can just double click the installer and it'll set itself up, but till then...
From now on, you can double click an AIP file and the installer will pop up. Usually just hitting 'install' will be all you need to do (there are some advanced functions like disabling the install batch if it exists, and changing the install path which isnt really recommended)
RTDPackager Usage
This utility is designed for creating AIP files. Its worth paying note that the AIP format is designed for repos more than it is the installer - so there are a lot of details here which the repo can use to make you app more visible.
V1.1 now has full open and save support.
Save will save a template XML, which can be loaded later with the Open button. Open will also open an existing AIP file and fill in the details.
Create Package no longer saves in the same place as the files being packaged - it opens a save dialog.
The browse button will now work and populate the run EXE field and the folder field.
some details:
AppName is the display name - and the install folder - so avoid \'s and such. If you change this in an update, it will get installed to a new folder.
Updates are detected based on the App GUID. Change this, it will appear as a new app - use the same GUID on more than one app and you will have conflicts. The generate button for GUID *DOES* work - you should only use it on the first release of your app - and for the time being, keep it safe for any updates.
Run EXE is the exe that will be launched by the store when the user asks to run it - and if a shortcut name exists, will be placed in the start menu.
Install/uninstall batch files are option batch files for installing/uninstalling registry settings and the like. There is currently no uninstaller, but the store app should have this built in - the uninstall batch is NOT for deleting files - the store will handle that.
App version number is a REAL number. ie. 1.03 is ok. 1.0.3 is not.
App category is for placing your app in a 'folder' - it is free form, with | splitting. Anyone can create a new category this way and its not up to the repo manager to manage this. Obviously it will work better if we have sensible categories such as 'Apps|Browsing' or 'Emulators|GameBoy' - while its totally possible to do 'djboo|prerelease|funthing' - i hope we dont do that.

Note: Once the RTD Packager is complete, code will be shared for both - that should be tonight.

Nice work so far, haven't tested all elements of it yet but it looks pretty good! Keep up the good dev work!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Know why you should "even" think of using the odexed version.
WHAT IS AN ODEX FILE?
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
THEN COMES DEODEX
Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.
In summary, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity.
HOW THIS WORKS
For the more geeky amongst us, Android OS uses a Java-based virtual machine for running applications, called the Dalvik Virtual Machine. A deodexed, or .dex file contains the cache used by this virtual machine (referred to as Dalvik-cache) for a program, and it is stored inside the APK. An .odex file, on the other hand, is an optimized version of this same .dex file that is stored next to the APK as opposed to inside it. Android applies this technique by default to all the system applications.
Now, when an Android-based system is booting, the davlik cache for the Davlik VM is built using these .odex files, allowing the OS to learn in advance what applications will be loaded, and thus speeds up the booting process.
By deodexing these APKs, a developer actually puts the .odex files back inside their respective APK packages. Since all code is now contained within the APK itself, it becomes possible to modify any application package without conflicting with the operating system’s execution environment.
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
The advantage of deodexing is in modification possibilities. This is most widely used in custom ROMs and themes. A developer building a custom ROM would almost always choose to deodex the ROM package first, since that would not only allow him to modify various APKs, but also leave room for post-install theming.
On the other hand, since the .odex files were supposed to quickly build the dalvik cache, removing them would mean longer initial boot times. However, this is true only for the first ever boot after deodexing, since the cache would still get built over time as applications are used. Longer boot times may only be seen again if the dalvik cache is wiped for some reason.
For a casual user, the main implication is in theming possibilities. Themes for android come in APKs too, and if you want to modify any of those, you should always choose a dedoexed custom ROM.

about Go Language
Go, also called golang, is a programming language initially developed at Google in 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson.It is a statically-typed language with syntax loosely derived from that of C, adding automatic memory management, type safety, some dynamic-typing capabilities, additional built-in types such as variable-length arrays and key-value maps, and a large standard library. Beyond that broad category, Go is defined by:
-A syntax and environment adopting patterns more common in dynamic languages:
Concise variable declaration and initialization through type inference (x*:= 0 not int x = 0.
-Fast compilation times.
-Remote package management (go get).and online package documentation
-Distinctive approaches to particular problems.
-Built-in concurrency primitives: light-weight processes (goroutines), channels, and the select statement.
-An interface system in place of virtual inheritance, and type embedding instead of non-virtual inheritance.
-A toolchain that, by default, produces statically linked native binaries without external dependencies.
-A desire to keep the language specification simple enough to hold in a programmer's head,in part by omitting features common to similar languages:
no type inheritance
no method or operator overloading
no circular dependencies among packages
no pointer arithmetic
no assertions
no generic programming
about Go4Droid
Although Go is a Google project ,it has not option for building for Android !Also It has there is no way to use it on your Android device and do compiling(instead of cross-compiling) (beacuase it does not building for external host and target).All this reasons made me think about this project and finally I ported a complete set of Go compiler, Go linker, Go Packages and also net support !.
You can easily write go codes , compile them, run them and install them. There are lots of packages which let you write amazing programs.

usage
This thread is not supposed to be a GoLang tutorial , however I explain main options.
* Do not forget to get root before anything :
Code:
su
1- Use this command to run a .go file (file = helloworld.go):
Code:
go run helloworld.go
2- Use this command to compile a .go file and generate an executable :
Code:
go build helloworld.go
./helloworld
3- Use this command to compile & install a code file:
Code:
go install helloworld.go
helloworld
example
Code:
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, World")
}

*intial release
help the project
Every single build takes +30 minutes on my Android device so it would be difficult to manage this project. You can help me by donating me a VPS/Dedicated server then I will be able to update and manage this project faster and better.

Well done man! I'm trying it now
Will report results soon

I 've spend +10 hours on this project for 0 people using it !

That's great, man. You beat Google to it!
This looks interesting, but without access to the UI or Android APIs, we're pretty limited, right?

There is no Android JNI support yet (and unfortunately no plan to do it). However it has a great builtin API with net,archive,fs,os,image,... support.

Great project,
Thanks for that.

Still no NDK support for Go?

Go has no Android JNI support thus there is no Go support in NDK .

What is HAT?​Well, HAT is short-form of Hybrid APK Tool. HAT makes decompiling/recompiling of all apk files easy as 1 2 3, HAT supports both apk's and jar files and is very easy to work with. HAT provides all features necessary for any modder/user.
Why use HAT?​Honestly, that's up to you. There are many tools out there but mostly fail at critical times but HAT can be a good bet.
FEATURES​
● Fast and light (Only 11 mb).
● High success rate while decompiling/recompiling.
● Special method of decompiling/recompiling jar files! Never seen before this method will never fail and you can easily edit any jar file (deodexed jar). HAT uses special method for the process.
● Avoid bootloops while editing framework-res.apk especially for SONY devices. HAT uses special method that avoids bootloops.
● Real time logging. Generate logs for every action.
● Choose your own version of apktool. Currently HAT comes with two versions of apktool (the folder is hidden due so to avoid any unwanted deletion of the folder, kindly enable the show hidden files option). To use your own version of apktool keep your apktool in "tools/apktool" folder
● Normal method of decompiling and recompiling of jar also present giving two methods to simultaneously work at jar files/
● Clear the junk files if too populated
HOW TO USE​
Simple just download the file and extract it in core C: drive. It should be C:HAT or it won't work
DOWNLOAD​
Here is the download link for the tool - DOWNLOAD HERE
FAQ
Q) I open HAT.exe and it shows a black screen and closes. Why?
Ans) Two possible reasons a) You have not extracted it in C: drive
b) You have space in your username eg Tech N You instead of TechNYou
Solution
a) Extract it in C and execute
b) Make a new account with no space in between
Q) I see errors related to java, what are they?
A) To work with apk's and jar's you must have JAVA installed on your machine. Install JAVA then proceed also if you have java installed make sure it has been defined in system path
Q) I have java still I face errors, why?
A) Reason is java not defined in system. Open cmd and type "java" and "javac" (without quotes) and press enter if you get error(s) like :"java" or "javac" is not an external or internal command define java in your PC. Search google on how to.
If you get some response on trying both commands it's an issue with tool. Please report here.
Q) Do I need anything else than java?
A) No you don't need anything else than java. Recommended latest version java
