I have Anbox in my system but not able to get a google play app into it to play. When I click on Anbox to open it just says Starting... then closes after a while. Here is what I have in my system.

Add the following to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules:
binder_linux ashmem_linux ...followed by sudo update-initramfs -u.
For me, at first it didn't start but after 1 or 2 reboots it did.
You can also try export EGL_PLATFORM=x11 before starting anbox, but it seems the environment variable is added automatically so it's not needed.
First make sure that necessary kernel modules are enabled
ls -1 /dev/{ashmem,binder} If not, enable it using
$ sudo modprobe ashmem_linux $ sudo modprobe binder_linux also make sure android image is available under /var/lib/anbox/ , if it's not present, download and move it to there ( rename the image file to android.img). You can download the latest image file from : Android image file
and move it using $ sudo mv ~/Downloads/android_amd64.img /var/lib/anbox/android.img
After that restart the service $ sudo service anbox-container-manager restart
Now you will be able to open the anbox. My Anbox setup in Debian 11
