I am trying to setup an elastic, automatically provisioned continuous integration environment for building Android applications for my organization. I am having trouble, however, because of the Android SDK's requirement to accept licenses in an interactive manner. I want to use the new sdkmanager command line tool, but I cannot find any documentation about when and which dependencies will require a license to be accepted for any given project. I also do not know how I might map a particular project's Gradle dependencies to an SDK package. Further complicating the experience is that I cannot find a way to make the sdkmanager tool display complete package names, as many of the names given by sdkmanager --list are truncated with ellipses. I have not turned up much in the way of solutions either by Google search or browsing the Android developer website. There is an Android Puppet module <https://github.com/maestrodev/puppet-android> that tries to accomplish this task, but it still uses the old android script in the SDK's tools directory, and has not been updated in a while. By cursory investigation, Travis CI appears to work similarly <https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-cookbooks/blob/64ff883360f3d265b87c072a07f78e9ef0a874fb/community-cookbooks/android-sdk/recipes/default.rb>. Is this the best method we have? Is there no other provision made and endorsed by the Android Team to facilitate the goal of building apps in a dynamically provisioned CI environment? This seems to be a very big hole in the Android development experience. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
