  • Run automated Android UI and integration tests inside CI/CD pipelines
  • Stream and interact with an Android virtual device locally using scrcpy
  • Test Android apps against multiple API levels and image types in isolated containers
  • Mount external Android SDK folders to speed up build times and reduce container sizes

Features

  • Minimal Alpine-based container setup with KVM virtualization support
  • Built-in ADB port-forwarding on port 5555
  • Headless execution optimized for CI farms and automated workflows
  • Remote GUI control compatibility via scrcpy
  • Customizable build arguments for API level, CPU architecture, and Play Store support
  • Options for GPU (CUDA) acceleration and persistent virtual device storage
