Simon Fels b5b06d9beb Integrate android support library into our cmake build 
Just meant for integration testing. Built library is not meant to
be installed or shipped. This has to happen as part of the Android
build.

Anbox

Anbox is container based approach to boot a full Android system.

Overview

Anbox uses Linux namespaces (user, pid, uts, net, mount, ipc) to run a full Android system in a container and provide Android applications on any platform.

The container itself does not run as root but as a unprivileged user. It just need to be able to perform a few operations to setup a container like spawning up new namespaces, chroot'ing to a rootfs etc.

Android inside the container has no direct access to any hardware. All hardware access is going through the anbox daemon. We're reusing what Android has implemented for the Qemu based emulator. The Android system inside the container uses different pipes to communicate with the host system and sends all hardware access commands through these. OpenGL rendering is provided through this.

For more details have a look at the following documentation pages:
