android-emulator-<api-version>.Dockerfile

Downloads and installs packages required for hardware acceleration with kvm, and the Android system image for the <api-version>. All system images are Google APIs Intel x86 Atom.

Note: host machine must support hardware acceleration in the BIOS settings in order to run x86 emulators, which is not the case with most of the hosted CI services.

Update: The new emulator 28.1.8 Canary introduced a headless emulator build without KVM dependency which is a blocker for running instrumented tests on most cloud CI services as the host machines usually don't have the required bios settings turned on for KVM. The android-emulator-28.Dockerfile has been updated to the canary build for experimenting with this. Related discussion with the Android Emulator Team on reddit
