This is pretty cool, but the advent of Android Things might've rendered it obsolete. My understanding is you can run a custom Android Things image on a Raspberry Pi 3, and get access to the full Android OS, along with developer niceties like adb for pushing APKs.

I'm not sure it's really comparable to Android Things... you can run this in an LXC container on your desktop. With Android Things, unless I've missed something, you need to start by getting a Development Board from the supported hardware list.
Furthermore, Android Things is designed to run just one application on the whole machine, whereas Anbox is for running Android apps in a container within a multitasking environment.
