Do not install the x86_64 emulator system image file, as it cannot run in the Docker image.
Example:
# Create an x86 emulator
echo "no" | $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/avdmanager create avd \
-n Android_7.1_API_25 \
-k "system-images;android-25;google_apis;x86_64" \
-c 100M \
--abi google_apis/x86_64 \
--force
# Try to launch the emulator
$ANDROID_HOME/tools/emulator -avd Android_7.1_API_25 &
# You will get this error: "ERROR: 32-bit Linux Android emulator binaries are DEPRECATED..."
# Or this error: "ERROR: ./android/qt/qt_setup.cpp:28:Qt library not found at ../emulator/lib/qt/lib"
# Try to launch the emulator with alternate binary
$ANDROID_HOME/emulator/emulator -use-system-libs -avd Android_7.1_API_25 -no-skin -no-audio -no-window -force-32-bit &
# You will get this error: "emulator: ERROR: x86_64 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! Please ensure KVM is properly installed and usable..."
