Running a script during build of android app

I wanted to now if it's possible to run a .jar program or another script when building an android application or if somebody could guide me to an example.

I would want to sort my strings.xml file when I build a release.

probably what I forgot to say that I'm using gradle.

You can define your own task of type Exec and make the assembleRelease task depends on it:

task executeScript(type:Exec) {
    println 'Executing script...'
    commandLine './script.sh'
}

gradle.projectsEvaluated {
    assembleRelease.dependsOn executeScript
}

You can use ANT tools to build your application and use shell scripts to sort your strings.xml.
