Activity mode doesn't work from an Android build tree

[Google Code Exporter]

Running --mode activity from an Android build tree fails with this obscure 
error:

    /tmp/vogar/133bf8ec-cdbe-421a-b2d3-26182cc96d11/libcore.java.lang.SystemTest/classes/AndroidManifest.xml:4: error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'name' in package 'android'
    /tmp/vogar/133bf8ec-cdbe-421a-b2d3-26182cc96d11/libcore.java.lang.SystemTest/classes/AndroidManifest.xml:6: error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'name' in package 'android'
    /tmp/vogar/133bf8ec-cdbe-421a-b2d3-26182cc96d11/libcore.java.lang.SystemTest/classes/AndroidManifest.xml:8: error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'name' in package 'android'

The problem is that set of classes we're building with doesn't contain the 
definitions aapt needs. Those are available in the SDK's Android jar however.

If you see these errors with vogar, try building with an Android SDK rather 
than from the Android build tree.
