Dockerized Android Build image, smithmicro/android-build. Optional versions with the NDK installed.
These Android build images are dereived from the official gradle image. We use the gradle:8.2-jdk17 image in the latest build which includes JDK 17. This gradle version is consistant with the version currently used by the latest version of Android Studio. Older images use gradle:7.4-jdk11 and gradle:6.5-jdk8.
The main software that is added to the non-NDK versions:
- Android SDK Tools - provides the
sdkmanagercommand line tool - Kotlin - installed via SDKMAN
The sdkmanager packages that are installed are generally the current version and the previous version. Check the Dockerfile for more details.
Run the following command in your Android project. The directory should be same as your build.gradle file.
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/home/gradle/ smithmicro/android-build:34
The default command of this image is gradle build, but you can run others.
Run a gradle clean:
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/home/gradle/ smithmicro/android-build:34 gradle clean
Show installed sdkmanager packages:
docker run --rm smithmicro/android-build:34-ndk26 sdkmanager --list
To build all images containers in this repo, run:
./build.sh
