Gradle has a very powerful incremental build feature. This means Gradle will not execute a task unless it is necessary. We can help Gradle and configure our task so it is ready for an incremental build. Suppose we have a task that generates a file. T…

In a previous post we learned how we can use the inputs and outputs properties to set properties or files that need to be checked to see if a task is up to date. In this post we learn how a custom task class can use annotations to set input propertie…

Normally Gradle looks for a build script file with the name build.gradle in the current directory to execute a build. But we can easily use a different name or directory for the build file. We only have to use the -b or --build-file command-line opti…

Gradle Goodness: Task Output Annotations Create Directory Automatically One of the great features of Gradle is incremental build support. With incremental build support a task is only executed if it is really necessary. For example if a task generate…

To create an archive with Gradle is easy. We have several tasks like Zip, Tar, Jar, War and Ear to create a new archive. But there is no UnZip or UnTar to unpack an archive in Gradle. To unpack an archive we must use the Copy task and copy the conten…

To see which tasks are available for our build we can run Gradle with the command-line option -t or --tasks. Gradle outputs the available tasks from our build script. By default only the tasks which are dependencies on other tasks are shown. To see a…

In Gradle we can assign a task to a group. Gradle uses the group for example in the output of $ gradle -t to output all the tasks of the same group together. We only have to set the group property with a value and our task belongs to a group. In the…

Gradle uses the name build.gradle as the default name for a build file. If we write our build code in a file build.gradle then we don't have to specify the build filename when we run tasks. We can create build files with a different name other than b…

Gradle Goodness: Init Script for Adding Extra Plugins to Existing Projects Gradle is very flexible. One of the ways to alter the build configuration is with initialization or init scripts. These are like other Gradle scripts but are executed before t…

Gradle Goodness: Copy Files with Filtering Gradle's copy task is very powerful and includes filtering capabilities. This means we can change the contents of the files that are copied before they reach their new destination. We use the filter() method…

If we run a Gradle build and one of the tasks fails, the whole build stops immediately. So we have fast feedback of our build status. If we don't want to this and want Gradle to execute all tasks, even though some might have failed, we use the comman…

Migrating from Ant to Gradle is very easy with the importBuild method from AntBuilder. We only have to add this single line and reference our existing Ant build XML file and all Ant tasks can now be executed as Gradle tasks. We can automatically rena…

In Gradle we can group related tasks using the group property of a task. We provide the name of our group and if we look at the output of the tasks task we can see our tasks grouped in section with the given name. In the next sample we create a new t…

Gradle adds the task rule clean<Taskname> to our projects when we apply the base plugin. This task is able to remove any output files or directories we have defined for our task. For example we can assign an output file or directory to our task with…

In Gradle we can create dependencies between tasks. But we can also exclude certain tasks from those dependencies. We use the command-line option -x or --exclude-task and specify the name of task we don't want to execute. Any dependencies of this tas…

Gradle support the definition of so called live collections. These collections are mostly created based on criteria like with a filter() or matching() method. The collection content can change if the content of the source collection changes. For exam…

If we want to set an explicit encoding for the Java compiler in Gradle we can use the options.encoding property. For example we could add the following line to our Gradle build file to change the encoding for the compileJava task: 0.apply plugin: 'ja…

To get the current Gradle version we can use the gradleVersion property of the Gradle object. This returns a string value we can use for displaying the values. If we want to compare Gradle versions we can use the GradleVersion object. With this class…

If we use Gradle in a multi-module project we can define project dependencies between modules. Gradle uses the information from the project dependencies to determine which tasks need to be run. For example if module B depends on module A and we want…

If we want to know more about how much time is spent in tasks we can use the --profile command-line option. Gradle will generate a report file in the build/reports/profile directory. This report file is a HTML file with information about how much tim…

We can run a Gradle build without any of the task actions being executed. This is a so-called dry run of our build. We can use the dry run of a build to see if the task dependencies we have defined or are defined in a plugin are defined properly. Bec…

Build Variant android gradle 插件,允许对最终的包以多个维度进行组合. BuildVariant = ProductFlavor x BuildType 两个维度 最常见的就是这样: productFlavors { pro { } fre { } } lintOptions { abortOnError false } buildTypes { debug { } release { } } 其中,buildTypes 一般都会有 debug 或者release,标…

With the copy task of Gradle we can copy files that are parsed by Groovy's SimpleTemplateEngine. This means we can expand properties in the source file and add Groovy code that is going to be executed. We must use the expand() method in the copy task…

With the Gradle copy task we can define renaming rules for the files that are copied. We use the rename() method of the copy task to define the naming rules. We can use a closure where the filename is the argument of the closure. The name we return f…

With Gradle we can execute Java applications using the JavaExec task or the javaexec() method. If we want to run Java code from an external dependency we must first pull in the dependency with the Java application code. The best way to do this is to…
