Can I run Waydroid and Anbox at the same time?

I used to install anbox to run my android apps, I can use Google Play with it. It seems like this can't be done on Waydroid, so I hope that I can run them at the same time.

You could just install the Aurora Store in waydroid (be prepared to lose any google account you use with it, it does have an "anonymous" option as well) and maybe install microG.
It is also available in f-droid. There is also an alternative f-droid client made by aurora as well.

If you really want google services, try it like this: https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script

Thanks.
If we could install it via AUR like anbox did, it would be better.
Or just write these in ArchWiki?

I have another question, I tried to install "LINE Lite", so I typed "waydroid app install <the path to my apk file>", but I still can't see it.

What do you mean with still cant'see it ?
Do you mean that there isn't the menu shortcut or you mean that the program cannot start ?
If you are able to launch the app from terminal, just create a .desktop file

By the way, it just saw that there is a GAPPS base image available now.

Never mind, I noticed that there were 2 different apk, one is for arm64-v8a, one is for armeabi-v7a.
I installed the 2nd one, and there is no issue now.

I have another question, if I need to do "sudo waydroid init" to download the latest image, why is there a waydroid-image in AUR? What does it do for?
