OK, though then this is a draft patch that's blocked by supporting 
gradle and Android; Guix is a build-from-source distro (there are some 
bootstrap seeds, but the idea is to reduce them, not enlarge them).

Someone else has been looking into supporting Android (something about a 
longsoon-build-system), maybe you can test that, and I don't know if 
anyone has been looking at addressing the gradle problems.

Also, from a cursory look, I'm not seeing gradle there and neither am I 
seeing Android builds, maybe all that's needed is adding the adb package 
(which is packaged in Guix), no gradle or Android support needed, or I 
didn't look in the right places?

When building from source this is usually automatic, though I don't know 
if this applies to Gradle.

Also, why are tests disabled?

We are not restricted to plain text in descriptions, you can use Texinfo 
markup like @emph.
