setup-android-tools

This action is intended to install Android tools on Hosted images in GitHub Actions.
It wraps sdkmanager and automates caching of installed packages.

Usage

Install single package without cache:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: setup-android-tools
      uses: maxim-lobanov/[email protected]
      with:
        packages: ndk;19.2.5345600

Install multiple packages without cache:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: maxim-lobanov/[email protected]
      with:
        packages: |
          platforms;android-29
          platforms;android-30
          system-images;android-30;google_apis;x86

Install package with cache:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: maxim-lobanov/[email protected]
      with:
        packages: ndk;19.2.5345600
        cache: true

Cache packages

With cache: true, action will automatically cache all downloaded packages via @actions/cache. In some cases, it could significantly speed up your builds (especially on MacOS images).

Note: GitHub will remove any cache entries that have not been accessed in over 7 days. There is no limit on the number of caches you can store, but the total size of all caches in a repository is limited to 5 GB. If you exceed this limit, GitHub will save your cache but will begin evicting caches until the total size is less than 5 GB.
See "Caching dependencies to speed up workflows" for how caching works.
