Why?

I don't want to install and configure Java, Android SDK, Ant, cordova etc.. life is too short.

Setup

git clone git@github.com:oren/docker-cordova.git
cd docker-cordova
docker build -t cordova .
alias mine='sudo chown -R $USER'
alias drun='docker run -it --rm'
alias cordova='drun --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb -v $PWD:/src cordova cordova'

The alias command lets you use cordova for running any command inside the cordova container.

New Project

cordova create hello
cd hello
cordova platform add android
cordova build

Connect your android device to your laptop with a usb

cordova run android

That's it, your app should be on your phone!

Useful commands

List of attached devices. make sure you see your phone in that list.

docker run --rm -i -v $(pwd):/workspace -w /workspace --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb cordova adb devices
