Running android-studio in docker

This is a Dockerfile to dockerize an android-studio session

Usage

Build the image locally

$ docker build -t android-studio .

Create the settings and projects folders

$ mkdir -p $HOME/.config/android-studio-docker/ $HOME/Projects/

Start the container

$ docker run \
    -d \
    --rm \
    --name android-studio \
    -e DISPLAY \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix/:/tmp/.X11-unix/ \
    -v $HOME/.config/android-studio-docker/:/home/ubuntu/ \
    -v $HOME/Projects/:/home/ubuntu/Projects/ \
    --device /dev/dri \
    --device /dev/kvm \
    --device /dev/snd \
    --device /dev/bus/usb \
    android-studio

Finally grant read/write access to kvm and usb devices to run on the emulator or phone

$ docker exec \
    -u root \
    android-studio \
    chmod 666 /dev/kvm /dev/bus/usb/*/*

Note that a phone must be plugged before starting the container
