When you code #android #apps, there is no need to get the #sdk binaries from google. They come with a proprietary license that you would need to accept.
But the #sdk source code is #floss.
You can build the whole #sdk on your own with #docker, using ready recipes:
1. Clone the repo from https://gitlab.com/android-rebuilds/auto
2. go into the desired sdk folder
3. check the few .sh files if everything is set up according to your needs
4. run "make" and relax
@Billie #Gitlab.com is a terrible place for that. Gitlab forces users to execute non-free software for most of the functionality. See https://git.sdf.org/humanacollaborator/humanacollabora/src/branch/master/gitlab-dot-com.md Exceptionally, you can clone stuff using git, but the ".git" at the end of the repo URL is paramount, otherwise Tor users get blocked.

I do not like gitlab and github, but the guy who made the #docker build receipes put them there.
They are not mine.
I host all my projects on #codeberg.
