Android-emulator

ATTENTION: I'm not actively supporting that project, because of a shift in my personal interests. If you want to propose improvement, I can accept it as pull-request.

Thanks to @nightscape for nice optimizations!

Android-emulator is yet another Docker image with Android SDK and emulator inside (based on tons of other works).

My aims:

• Make stable and reliable Docker container
• Put some tools for static analysis inside
• Implement useful commands to Makefile

Docker image avalaible from Docker registry.

Version

0.0.5

Tech

• Docker
• Android SDK
• Apache Ant

Installation

Use Docker registry with latest tag:

$ docker pull tracer0tong/android-emulator:latest
$ docker run -d -P --name android tracer0tong/android-emulator 

Or use Makefile from repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/tracer0tong/android-emulator.git android-emulator
$ cd android-emulator
$ make run
$ make ports
Use:
adb kill-server
adb connect 172.17.0.2:32769
or
adb connect 0.0.0.0:32769
$ adb kill-server
$ adb connect 0.0.0.0:32769
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
connected to 0.0.0.0:32769
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
0.0.0.0:32769   device

$ adb shell
root@generic_x86:/ #

By default it will create and run API 19 (arm) for you, but some other versions also supported. You can run emulator for API versions: 19, 21, 22 x86/armeabi-v7a (as -a option). This is the most popular API versions among usable devices.

$ make EMULATOR="android-22" ARCH="x86" run

or

$ docker run -e "EMULATOR=android-22" -e "ARCH=x86" -d -P --name android tracer0tong/android-emulator

How to connect to emulator

Emulator container exposed 4 port's by default: tcp/22 - SSH connection to container (login: root, password: android, change this if you are security concerned)

• tcp/5037 - ADB
• tcp/5554 - ADB
• tcp/5555 - ADB connection port
• tcp/5900 - QEMU VNC connection (doesn't support pointing device and keyboard, I recommend to use MonkeyRunner for pointing simulation or 3rd-party VNC server pushed into emulator)

Q: How to understand, which ip address use to connect?

A: Depend on Docker toolset: for GUI tools as Kitematic just check port forwardind settings on container home page. If you are using Docker under Linux environment, just use docker ps command.

$ sudo docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                          COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                                                                                                       NAMES

Makefile

Additional Makefile targets:

$ make kill
$ make ps
$ make ports
$ make clean

Todo's

• Add new targets to Makefile (create new AVD, update sdk etc.)
• Optimize Dockerfile
• Provide options for emulator, port redirection, etc.
• Add androguard, drozer etc. to image
