Android on linux anbox

[SCHISCHKA]

This is cool. A bloke named Simon Fels has created a snap to run android apps on regular linux desktops. https://anbox.io/

Quote

Anbox puts the Android operating system into a container, abstracts hardware access and integrates core system services into a GNU/Linux system. Every Android application will be integrated with your operating system like any other native application.

something I have been waiting for a while is

Quote

Runs Android without hardware virtualization and seamlessly bridges over hardware acceleration features.

all you need to do is install snap and then install anbox

Quote

sudo apt install snapd

sudo snap install --classic anbox-installer && anbox-installer

before you ask

Quote

The Anbox project does not have any interest in shipping the Google Play store and we're not allowed to do so. We may add an easy way for our users at a later point which allows easy distribution of Android applications suited for the Anbox runtime environment.

and it takes ages to install.

no such thing as dual booting in your case?

I develop for android. Rebooting to run one app is not productive

Why dual boot if you can use it natively? That's the point of this.

what's wrong with using Android Studio and an emulator? Google provides all of that free of charge, I hardly notice a performance hit. what's wrong with the actual real phone, "adb push dev/sda1/home/user/documents/project.apk /sdcard/download/" and "adb shell am start -n com.package.name/com.package.name.ActivityName"

There have been a lot of situations where I wanted native apps on linux.

Try android studio and a VM on a laptop running off batteries. Leaving a phone plugged in drains the battery and so does running a VM.

I developed with android some time ago, I've made a couple apps, don't bother asking for sources because I can tell you straight up they suck. Really? That's funny because when I plug in my phone, my battery only dies one minute sooner than it would if it wasn't, having a usb mouse and keyboard take power, should I unplug those if I want to preserve my battery life even further?

go away and do a days work making apps (not sucky ones) on a laptop battery. Please do not annoy me.

I'd make more money as a college student working in a factory operating robotic arms,than I would developing apps.

1. Not everyone's laptop has the same battery life/power efficiency.

2. My laptop's power consumption goes up massively when I have the emulator running. 8 hours will turn into 2-4 hours depending on how intense what I'm doing is.

3. Why are you arguing?
