[Nix-dev] Current state about Android development on NixOS

[Luke Clifton]

Having never owned, or programmed an android device before, and not being a
Java developer, this took me quite some time to get working, but it turned
out to be simple.

The androidsdk does not include some tools that you will probably need such
as ant and openjdk.

Don't use the update facility provided with the SDK. If you want to use
multiple versions of the SDK use a myEnvFun.

My configuration.nix looks like this.

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    # Other packages here ...
    (myEnvFun {
      name = "android43";
      buildInputs = [ androidenv.androidsdk_4_3
                      ant
                      openjdk
                    ];
    })
];

So when I want to start developing for android targeting 4.3 I do a

$ load-env-android43

And I'm ready to go.

Hope that helps you get started.

Good luck.
