Building Android apps using Nix

Some software (for example Tinc VPN) have Android client which can be built together with the NixOS version, in the same derivation, sharing the same configuration options.

Android Studio on NixOS

$ nix-shell -p android-studio --run android-studio
<syntaxHighlight>

=== Building Android on NixOS ===

It's possible to use nix-shell with buildFHSUserEnv to set up an environment in which it's viable to build Android without huge amounts of editing. This is an example shell.nix file.
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
 
let fhs = pkgs.buildFHSUserEnv {
  name = "android-env";
  targetPkgs = pkgs: with pkgs;
    [ git
      gitRepo
      gnupg
      python2
      curl
      procps
      openssl
      gnumake
      nettools
      androidenv.platformTools
      jdk
      schedtool
      utillinux
      m4
      gperf
      perl
      libxml2
      zip
      unzip
      bison
      flex
      lzop
    ];
  multiPkgs = pkgs: with pkgs;
    [ zlib
    ];
  runScript = "bash";
  profile = ''
    export USE_CCACHE=1
    export ANDROID_JAVA_HOME=${pkgs.jdk.home}
  '';
};
in pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
  name = "android-env-shell";
  nativeBuildInputs = [ fhs ];
  shellHook = "exec android-env";

}
