Based on the Termux proot package. By default it uses /tmp as temp directory (which is not available on Android). You need to define the PROOT_TMP_DIR environment variable.

Examples

• NativeExecutor.java

  • Downloads proot for the correct arch from the links above.

  • Downloads and extracts the latest Alpine Linux rootfs (could be improved).

  • Sets name servers.

  • After that you can run any normal Alpine commands in the chroot.

  • Use like this:

    NativeExecutor executor = new NativeExecutor(context);
    
    if (executor.needLoadProot()) {
        executor.loadProot();
    }
    
    if (executor.needExtractRootfs()) {
        if (executor.needLoadRootfs()) {
            executor.loadRootfs();
        }
        executor.extractRootfs();
    }
    
    if (executor.needSetNameServers()) {
        executor.setNameServers();
    }
    
    // Install some alpine packages...
    executor.exec("apk", "add", "youtube-dl", "ffmpeg");
    // Do other stuff
