Android Gradle Examples

Prerequisites

  • Download Android SDK.
  • Unzip SDK Zip file into directory of your choice (for example /Users/benjamin/dev/tools/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130917/sdk).

Setup

To be able to execute the examples you will need to point your environment to the Android SDK installation directory. This can be achieved by setting the environment variable ANDROID_HOME or by adding a properties file (named local.properties) to each of the projects.

Adding the properties files

sdk.dir=/Users/benjamin/dev/tools/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130917/sdk

Setting the environment variable

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/benjamin/dev/tools/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130917/sdk

Gotchas

  • Never apply the Gradle Java plugin in conjunction with the Android plugin in the same project.
