Has anyone tried installing Pleco in Anbox yet? I installed Anbox in Archlinux without a problem using the AUR package anbox-git.
After loading the necessary kernel modules and starting the systemd services, I checked for hardware compatibility:
Starting the emulation also works flawlessly:
launches an Android 7.1.1 emulation in a window. All the pre-installed standard apps seem to work. I didn’t try anything that requires network functionality, as the bridge is supposedly buggy or not working at all.
On the matter of which apps should work, the official statement is:
I downloaded Plecodict from https://pleco.com/getandroid and tried to install it but got an error:
Is that because I run Anbox on x86 Architecture?
After loading the necessary kernel modules and starting the systemd services, I checked for hardware compatibility:
Bash:
$ sudo modprobe binder_linux
$ sudo modprobe ashmem_linux
$ sudo systemctl start anbox-container-manager.service
$ systemctl --user start anbox-session-manager.service
$ anbox check-features
Your computer does meet all requirements to run Anbox
Bash:
$ anbox launch --package=org.anbox.appmgr --component=org.anbox.appmgr.AppViewActivity
On the matter of which apps should work, the official statement is:
Currently, the only way to install apps into this system is to use the Android Debug Bridge. ADB recognizes the emulated device:As we provide a complete Android system generally all applications are supposed to work. However there are a few exceptions:
- If your application depends on particular hardware functionality like WiFi, Bluetooth or telephony, we need additional work to bridge those over from the host system. As of right now the only thing you can do is to ensure your application behaves correct when these functionalities are not available.
- Anbox uses the freeform mode introduced with Android 7 which allows a multi-window system. Your applications needs to play well within the freeform mode to work well in Anbox. You can find more details in the Android Developer Documentation.
Bash:
