Comment on Android in Docker without QEMU/emulator

Comments

This is interesting, but I don’t see this as something for use in development of Android apps. Given all Android’s quarks and fragmentation the use of real devices and Google’s emulators will provide a better surface to catch bugs during dev. What’s the primary use case for these containerized versions of Android?

I'm using it myself to run Whatsapp for the Matrix Whatsapp bridge [1] on a VPS.

Software, websites testing?
