Gundroid = Guix + Android ♥
This channel contains: cli-tools, emulator and android-studio.
Originally took Android Studio launching example from Julien Lepiller (@roptat) blogpost. You can also take a look on his guix-android channel.
Before lauching the emulator the followings needs to be properly packed (patchelf’ed) and expose proper binaries:
- [X] cli-tools (apkanalyzer, avdmanager, lint, retrace, sdkmanager)
- [X] emulator (emulator, mksdcard)
- [ ] build-tools (aapt2, apksigner, zipalign)
- [ ] platform-tools (adb, etc1tool, fastboot, logcat)
(see (1) as reference)
Even having it packed propely emulator won’t work, because it would expect envvar ANDROID_HOME set propely and the content of this directory to replicate exact file-system structure (from (1)):
- commandline tools bins: cmdline-tools/version/bin/
- build tools bins: build-tools/version
- emulator’s bins: emulator
- platform-tools bins: platform-tools
This can be done by creating guix service after packing all them propely.
Android studio is packaged via (nonguix multiarch-container) same as steam in nonguix.
Install via: guix package -L src -f src/gundroid/studio.scm. Then you can run it with android-studio command.
You can run emulator from it.
Don’t forget to add libvrt-service-type to your’s system config and set the virtualization option ON in bios to access emulator from Android Studio.
