can u help me how to find static value for $(pwd) ? – Baala Dec 30 '19 at 07:44

If I am understanding it right, you want to get the value of pwd. you can simply use `echo $pwd`. – Deepak Patankar Dec 30 '19 at 08:29

1. Can you please confirm that the image is contained in the path mentioned above, you can try `echo $(pwd)/sdk:/sdk thyrlian/android-sdk` 2. Also see whether the `ANDROID_HOME` variable contains the correct value. 3. The `/sdk` folder is present in your system ? – Deepak Patankar Dec 30 '19 at 08:31

Whether the path is correct? Use `echo "$(pwd)/sdk:/sdk thyrlian/android-sdk"` 1. do you have : in the name of the folder ? 2. Also do you have folder with name `sdk thyrlian` – Deepak Patankar Dec 30 '19 at 08:46

You're looking too far in the command for the error. In this case it's earlier. In this command:
docker run -it — rm -v $(pwd)/sdk:/sdk thyrlian/android-sdk bash -c 'cp -a $ANDROID_HOME/. /sdk'
The invalid image name is the long dash: —. The rm needs two normal dashes (since it's not a single character style arg like the -i and -t). Those are dashes that you'd type with the keyboard, and some editor that you've likely copy and pasted from converted that. The correct command is:
docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd)/sdk:/sdk" thyrlian/android-sdk bash -c 'cp -a $ANDROID_HOME/. /sdk'
Note, you should always quote the path since it can contain a space that would also break the parsing of the args.

The issue happens when the docker image name given in the command is invalid. Please try this command
docker run -it — rm -v "$(pwd)/sdk:/sdk thyrlian/android-sdk" bash -c 'cp -a $ANDROID_HOME/. /sdk'

What's the exact command you need to run in the interactive terminal?
In your case,
"- rm" is incorrect, there should no space between - and rm, so it should be -rm
Secondly, it should be --rm and re try.
docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/sdk:/sdk thyrlian/android-sdk bash -c 'cp -a $ANDROID_HOME/. /sdk'
