Explanation:

• --privileged - to have access to USB devices connected to the host .AndroidStudio* folders to keep the data on the host between different instances (like SDK tools, AVDs, etc.)
• Local project directories need to be mounted into the container
• The name can be anything - I used something random to be able to start multiple instances if needed

Notes

The container has Git installed. It also has Kotlin installed. The container runs as a non-root user but that user is part of the root group to be able to use KVM. When Android Studio starts for the first time it might display a warning about KVM not working but it does actually.
