![]() ![]() ![]() Larry also explains how to override the include directive’s assumption that subproject and path are the same. We can use includeFlat to specify directories beneath our root directory. Just remember that these mean the same thing. Android Studio on the other hand uses the term module. Gradle uses the term projects or subprojects to describe the components which make up our top level project build. Include 'project1', 'project2', 'project3:subproj1' Normally our adle file specifies project paths: Larry explains each of these into detail. ![]() ![]() Configuration: what tasks to perform for the projects.Gradle uses a Directed Acyclic Graph to determine what order tasks run in. The only things we need to define are the project type, any dependencies and any customizations. This is a lot like Java 8 lambdas, or LINQ expressions from. All code is compiled into JVM bytecode meaning it can interoperate with Java code.Īs an example, Larry shows the code that creates the area of a circle, and shows how we can reimplement it using a closure. Groovy is a dynamic programming language, sharing many Java features. With Gradle we build by convention over configuration. Ease of configuration and customizationĪ fundamental feature is it is declarative meaning we don’t need to define everything we wish to build and how to build it.Further point releases roughly every 1 to 3 months.Larry provides us with a history of the Gradle releases: It has built-in support for Maven and Ivy repositories, which can be used for dependencies, as well as building code. This gives us much more power than writing XML-based rules and targets. Gradle is much more powerful and uses Groovy for its scripting language providing a declarative environment to write scripts. In the years before Gradle, Android apps were built either with Ant or a combination of Ant and GNU Make. It can be used for multiple languages and target platforms. Gradle is a flexible and highly extensible build system. Larry has over 16 years of experience leading teams, and designing and developing high performance and robust software, and is a Google GDE.
