Stefan Miklosovic commented on ARQ-1528:
----------------------------------------

Since Android undeployment logic was aligned with Arquillian way in ARQ-1557 there is not theoretically any problem to approach to support multiple Android containers in one test run.

The only problem is that Android container is configured in arquillian.xml in container element which contains properties related to Android SDK and these configuration properties can not be (or should not be) specified in both container defs. For example, having androidSdkHome in both container elements does not make much sense since you have always one Android SDK installed locally and there is e.g. only one ANDROID_SDK_HOME environment property.

In theory, maybe it could be possible to have multiple Android SDK installations but it seems to me as overkill.

New approach would "extract" Android SDK related properties from Android container definition to standalone extension, it would look like this

{code}
    <group qualifier="containers" default="true">
        <container qualifier="android_1" default="true">
            <configuration>
            </configuration>
        </container>
        <container qualifier="android_2" default="true">
            <configuration>
            </configuration>
        </container>
    </group>

    <extension qualifier="android-platform">
        <property name="androidSdkHome">...</property>
        // all jar signers stuff and so on
    </extension>
{code}
