Dockerfile to setup Android build environment for Shippable

⁠About

• Why use phusion⁠
• Download JDK8⁠
• Download Android SDK⁠

⁠Modifying and testing Dockerfile

The Oracle site is very slow, making the JDK8 download a pain. Here's how to work around the large downloads:

• download the jdk and android sdk into a folder on your machine
• in this folder, run on commandline: python -m SimpleHTTPServer
• in the Dockerfile, comment jdk download line and uncomment the next line, substituting the url of the webserver to your local ip number.
• do the same thing for the android sdk line
• modify the Dockerfile as you please
• Undo the jdk and android sdk changes!!
• when done, push the repo to bitbucket/master

⁠Docker hub

When pushed, bitbucket will inform Docker hub that a new version is available. Docker hub will fetch the repo, and start building the image. Currently this is about 2 Gb so it will take a few minutes.

The app repo specifies to use the new Docker image as build image, so it will fetch this image and run the build in the new container.
