Is there a way to run an Andorid Container in Linux?

[KHII]

I have been using Ubuntu and Been struggling with An-box

 

(Andorid in a Box has anyone heard of it/looked into it and got it working??

I tried it for 2 days, it's unstable and in still under heavy development. Does not work well enough.

I used to use Sailfish OS on my phone, also Ubuntu touch. On sailfish os there is a way to run android apps with Aliendalvik (but it's proprietary and does not work on all mobiles). So developers decided to create anbox. Android in a box to run android software under linux OS. This includes those mobile OSs i mentioned. Sailfish OS and Ubuntu touch.

I'm mainly trying to run Linux and android at once without a stage of elimination

android x86 in a virtual machine maybe? or is that not what you're looking for?

[KHII]

That would be virtualization and is buggy. What im trying to avoid

Doesn't work (well enough) for now. Come back in 5 years...?

 

You can do the opposite well enough (as in running a gnu/linux distribution in chroot under android), I'm not sure how well it works on android x86 though. Is there a reason you want to do this?

Was it called Arc Weld? There was a way you could run Android App's on Chrome on Linux.

 

The problem your running into is primarily android is an ARM OS so you'll need to either have an ARM CPU, or emulate ARM or use x86 Android.

You know that you can get an emulator for Android apps right? Google bundles it in Android studio. Although the emulator is mainly for developer to debug their apps, I had been using it to run apps.
