Setup

We will be using a Cuttlefish Android Virtual Device to test our code. Make sure you have access to one or create a new one with:

source build/envsetup.sh
lunch aosp_cf_x86_64_phone-trunk_staging-userdebug
acloud create

Please see the Android Developer Codelab for details.

The code on the following pages can be found in the src/android/ directory of the course material. Please git clone the repository to follow along.

Key points:

  • Cuttlefish is a reference Android device designed to work on generic Linux desktops. MacOS support is also planned.

  • The Cuttlefish system image maintains high fidelity to real devices, and is the ideal emulator to run many Rust use cases.
