Note that this image uses sdkmanager to manage android packages and comes with some default packages. You are more likely to need different versions.
FROM hamdifourati/cordova-android-builder
RUN ( sleep 5 && while [ 1 ]; do sleep 1; echo y; done ) | sdkmanager "platforms;android-30"
# attach to your already running container
docker exec -it <cordova-container-name> bash
# Install & Accept linceses
root@cordova:/opt/src# sdkmanager "platforms;android-30"
You can always list available packages either inside the container or directly.
docker run -it --rm hamdifourati/cordova-android-builder sdkmanager --list
