DEPRECATED. This action is no longer maintained.
The bundled base image (code0987/android-ci:latest) was last published in October 2020 and is not suitable for modern Android Gradle Plugin (AGP 8+) or current JDKs.
Prefer the migration guide below. Existing callers should pin a release tag (for example @v1.0.0) instead of @master until they migrate. This repository may receive compatibility fixes only.
A GitHub Action that ran builds inside a Docker image with the Android SDK and common CI packages.
More details on the legacy image: code0987/android-ci.
See CHANGELOG.md for version history.
GitHub-hosted ubuntu-latest runners already include Android SDK components. The maintained replacement is a small workflow using official setup actions—no custom Docker action required.

| Rebuilds a ~1.4GB Docker image on every job | Uses the hosted runner toolchain |
| Unmaintained SDK / JDK from 2020 | Current cmdline-tools, JDK 17/21, AGP 8+ |

Pin action versions (@v4, @v3) |
Use jobs.<id>.container with a maintained Android SDK image, or build your own from current cmdline-tools. Do not rely on code0987/android-ci:latest.
