⁠Docker Pull Command

The docker image is publicly automated build on Docker Hub⁠ based on the Dockerfile in this repo, so there is no hidden stuff in it. To pull the latest docker image:

docker pull mingc/android-build-box:latest

⁠Usage

⁠Use the image to build an Android project

You can use this docker image to build your Android project with a single docker command:

cd <android project directory>  # change working directory to your project root directory.
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/project mingc/android-build-box bash -c 'cd /project; ./gradlew build'

⁠Use the image for a Bitbucket pipeline

If you have an Android project in a Bitbucket repository and want to use its pipeline to build it, you can simply specify this docker image. Here is an example of bitbucket-pipelines.yml

image: mingc/android-build-box:latest

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        script:
          - chmod +x gradlew
          - ./gradlew assemble

If gradlew is marked as executable in your repository as recommended, remove the chmod command.

⁠Docker Build Image

If you want to build the docker image by yourself, you can use following command. The image itself is more than 5 GB, check your free disk space before building it.

docker build -t android-build-box .
