Error when trying to build dockerfile for Android project

Question

I am trying to build image for Android project for CI configuration (this will be the first step in my pipeline)

I am trying to run this command:

docker build -t android-build:some-name -f Dockerfile .

Below is my Dockerfile:

FROM openjdk:11.0.7

ENV SDK_URL="https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-3859397.zip" \
    ANDROID_HOME="/usr/local/android-sdk" \
    ANDROID_VERSION=29 \
    ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION=28.0.3

RUN mkdir "$ANDROID_HOME" .android \
    && cd "$ANDROID_HOME" \
    && curl -o sdk.zip $SDK_URL \
    && unzip sdk.zip \
    && rm sdk.zip \
    && yes | $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses

RUN $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager --update

RUN $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "build-tools;${ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION}" \
    "platforms;android-${ANDROID_VERSION}" \
    "platform-tools"

RUN mkdir /application

WORKDIR /application

I am getting error as below:

I was trying also another configuration:

FROM openjdk:11.0.7

ENV SDK_URL="https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-linux-6604631_latest.zip" \
    ANDROID_HOME="/usr/local/android-sdk" \
    ANDROID_VERSION=29 \
    ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION=28.0.3 \

RUN mkdir "$ANDROID_HOME" .android \
    && cd "$ANDROID_HOME" \
    && curl -o sdk.zip $SDK_URL \
    && unzip sdk.zip \
    && rm sdk.zip

RUN yes | $ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/bin/sdkmanager --sdk_root=$ANDROID_HOME --licenses

RUN $ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/bin/sdkmanager --sdk_root=$ANDROID_HOME --update

RUN yes | $ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/bin/sdkmanager --sdk_root=$ANDROID_HOME \
    "build-tools;${ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION}" \
    "platforms;android-${ANDROID_VERSION}"

RUN mkdir /application

WORKDIR /application

But this gives me an error as below:

  Error response from daemon: failed to parse Dockerfile: Syntax error - can't find = in "RUN". Must be of the form: name=value
11:22:51
  Process exited with code 1

Unfortunately I am not a DevOps guy, so what is wrong with my configuration? Could anyone help?

You have two option to fix this issue

Downgrade JDK so you will have the required module for SDK as these are removed in JDK 9+
Or use new SDK that does work with JDK 9+

FROM openjdk:8
ENV SDK_URL="https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-3859397.zip" \
    ANDROID_HOME="/usr/local/android-sdk" \
    ANDROID_VERSION=29 \
    ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION=28.0.3

RUN mkdir "$ANDROID_HOME" .android \
    && cd "$ANDROID_HOME" \
    && curl -o sdk.zip $SDK_URL \
    && unzip sdk.zip \
    && rm sdk.zip \
    && yes | $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses

RUN $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager --update

RUN $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager "build-tools;${ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION}" \
    "platforms;android-${ANDROID_VERSION}" \
    "platform-tools"

RUN mkdir /application

WORKDIR /application

Or you can look into this for new SDK

Google has been working on a new Android SDK Command-line Tools release that runs on current JVMs (9, 10, 11+) and does not depend on deprecated JAXB EE modules!
