Building Android application on OpenShift Jenkins

Question

My attempts to build an Android application with Jenkins on OpenShift failed so far.

I tried to use the android-emulator-plugin for Jenkins which should install all Android prerequisites, but it fails to download files (, probably because I should force HTTP, which is not supported by the plugin right now).

There are several question in the retired OpenShift forum, which stayed unanswered:

• Android SDK. Jenkins.
• Android build with Jenkins
• Jenkins Android SDK

Is it possible to build an Android application on OpenShift Jenkins? How?

Please note that I have opened a feature request for a Openshift Jenkins Cartridge including the Android SDK, please vote for it here: https://openshift.uservoice.com/forums/258655-ideas/suggestions/10128225-include-use-of-android-sdk-in-jenkins-catridge I hope this will bring us closer to being able to build Android on OpenShift Jenkins.
