directly from its project creation screen by importing from the GitHub URL.

Android SDK is via the `ANDROID_SDK_HOME` environment variable. Then
you can invoke the Gradle wrapper to build:
```sh
./gradlew build
```

```sh
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/workspace \
-v jenkinsfile-runner-cache:/var/jenkinsfile-runner-cache \
-v jenkinsfile-runner:/var/jenkinsfile-runner \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
