The Dockerfile in this directory sets up an Ubuntu Trusty image ready to build a variety of Android branches (>= Lollipop). It‘s particulary useful to build older branches that required 14.04 if you’ve upgraded to something newer.
First, build the image:
# Copy your host gitconfig, or create a stripped down version $ cp ~/.gitconfig gitconfig $ docker build --build-arg userid=$(id -u) --build-arg groupid=$(id -g) --build-arg username=$(id -un) -t android-build-trusty .
Then you can start up new instances with:
$ docker run -it --rm -v $ANDROID_BUILD_TOP:/src android-build-trusty > cd /src; source build/envsetup.sh > lunch aosp_arm-eng > m -j50
