This is an example of a default build.gradle
file in a module.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion '25.0.3'
signingConfigs {
applicationName {
keyAlias 'applicationName'
keyPassword 'password'
storeFile file('../key/applicationName.jks')
storePassword 'keystorePassword'
}
}
defaultConfig {
applicationId 'com.company.applicationName'
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 25
versionCode 1
versionName '1.0'
signingConfig signingConfigs.applicationName
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.3.1'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
Each block in the file above is called a DSL
(domain-specific language).
The first line, apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
, applies the Android plugin for Gradle to the build and makes the android {}
block available to declare Android-specific build options.
For an Android Application:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
For an Android Library:
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
The second part, The android {...}
block, is the Android DSL
which contains information about your project.
For example, you can set the compileSdkVersion
which specifies the Android API level , Which should be used by Gradle to compile your app.
The sub-block defaultConfig
holds the defaults for your manifest. You can override
them with Product Flavors.
