The new Android machine image (currently in preview status) has support for running emulators. This PR adds new commands and a job to support running UI tests.
Additions
New commands:
create-avd for creating an AVD
disable-animations to disable emulator animations
kill-emulators command to kill emulator processes
restore-gradle-cache and save-gradle-cache
run-tests to run tests, with retries supported
start-emulator to start an emulator from an existing AVD
wait-for-emulator to wait for an emulator to start up
start-emulator-and-run-tests: a command that wraps create-avd, start-emulator and run-tests
New job: run-ui-tests that wraps the start-emulator-and-run-tests command
New executor: android-machine
New examples
Modifications to existing commands
Updated description of accept-licenses and install-ndk commands
Added cache-prefix parameter to restore-build-cache and save-build-cache commands so that the cache prefix can be customized if needed. Since it defaults to v1, the commands should still work the way they did before, by default.
