There was a problem hiding this comment. Did you mean to point this at your DockerHub account?

There was a problem hiding this comment. Yes, because I uploaded the Arctic Fox image on my account.

There was a problem hiding this comment. That makes sense. I'd perhaps propose archiving this repo with some pointers to your repo if you'd be interested in maintaining this image? I no longer do Android dev, so it's unlikely I'll bump this often... What do you think? If you're happy with that, perhaps replace this PR with one that changes the Readme only to clearly point to your repo, and we could get that in (and then I could archive this repo) |
||||||
| ``` | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Explanation: | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| - `--privileged` - to have access to USB devices connected to the host .AndroidStudio* folders to keep the data on the host between different instances (like SDK tools, AVDs, etc.) | ||||||
| - Local project directories need to be mounted into the container | ||||||
| - The name can be anything - I used something random to be able to start multiple instances if needed | ||||||
| - The `DISPLAY` variable has to be set before running the previous `docker run ...` command withn one of the following commands:[^2] | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| >```bash | ||||||
| >export DISPLAY=host.docker.internal$SCREEN | ||||||
| >``` | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| >or | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| >```bash | ||||||
| >export DISPLAY=$(cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2; exit;}')$SCREEN | ||||||
| >``` | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| >or | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| >```bash | ||||||
| >export DISPLAY=$(ip route | grep default | awk '{print $3}')$SCREEN | ||||||
| >``` | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| - The `SCREEN` variable above depends on the platform on which the command is run. It can be set a using command similar to one of the following (the actual integer value after the colon may defer depending on your setup): | ||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| >```bash | ||||||
| >SCREEN=:0 # Linux | ||||||
| >SCREEN=:0 # WSL on Windows with Xming installed | ||||||
| >SCREEN=:0.0 # WSL on Windows with VcXsrv installed | ||||||
| >``` | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| ## Notes | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| The container has Git installed. It also has Kotlin installed. The container runs as a non-root user but that user is part of the root group to be able to use KVM. When Android Studio starts for the first time it might display a warning about KVM not working but it does actually. | ||||||

Most of the changes are reflective of how the Android Studio binaries are located in my local installation, e.g.
-v ~/.AndroidStudio.sdk:/home/developer/Android/Sdk, so you may overlook or rename accordingly. I found some of the mounts to be unnecessary, like-v ~/.AndroidStudio:/home/developer/.AndroidStudioand-v ~/.AndroidStudio.android:/home/developer/.android. The most important volume mount is-v ~/.AndroidStudio.config:/home/developer/.config, I noticed that it makes the configuration after first startup more persistent.
