Android Asset Packaging Tool is the resource compiler for Android apps.

The Android Asset Packaging Tool (aapt) takes your application resource files, such as the AndroidManifest.xml file and the XML files for your Activities, and compiles them. An R.java is also produced so you can reference your resources from your Java code.

Reference: http://developer.android.com/tools/building/index.html
