Setup-Script for Codex for Android development?

Coding with ChatGPT

Hi there,

has anyone already put together a working setup script that will install everything needed for Android (Kotlin) development in ChatGPT Codex?
I tried some things but because the terminal is not really “interactive” it is hard to debug.

Set environment variable:

  • ANDROID_HOME to /usr/lib/android-sdk

And use the following setup script:

echo "Getting Android Studio"
wget -O android-commandlinetools.zip https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-linux-13114758_latest.zip

echo "Unpacking Android Studio"
unzip android-commandlinetools.zip -d /usr/lib/android-sdk

echo "Updating sdkmanager"
/usr/lib/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/bin/sdkmanager --sdk_root=/usr/lib/android-sdk/ --update

echo "Installing Android SDK"
bash -c 'yes | /usr/lib/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/bin/sdkmanager --sdk_root=/usr/lib/android-sdk/ "platforms;android-35"'

echo "Git Submodule Init"
git submodule update --init --recursive

Note: It seems the bash -c '...' is necessary when installing the Android SDK with sdkmanager, otherwise I always got an error that indicated a broken pipe, probably from the way the setup script is executed in the environment.
