Overview

The PAndroid Gradle plugin allows all Prolific's Android project to run on our CI pipeline for different build variants.

How to

Add the JitPack repository and apply these two plugins in your top level build file.

buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "org.sonarsource.scanner.gradle:sonarqube-gradle-plugin:2.6.2"
    classpath 'com.github.prolificinteractive:pandroid-gradle-plugin:<latest-version>'
  }
}

apply plugin: 'pandroid'

Local Setup

The repo has an app module to test the plugin locally. To do so, run the following command to build the plugin and upload it to the local repository located at the root of the project under repo.

$> make plugin

You will need to execute the above command each time you make changes to it in order to get the latest changes applied to the application.

Builds

This plugin will add four gradle tasks to your project:

:alphaBuild: build a hockey alpha build and outputs the apk to ci/alpha.apk
:betaBuild: build a hockey beta build and outputs the apk to ci/beta.apk
:releaseBuild: build a production build and outputs the apk to ci/release.apk
:ciBuild: runs all above tasks one after another.

If the build task has proguard enabled, the mapping files will be moved to the ci folder under a sub-folder named following the apk's name. Here is an example of a ci folder after running a ciBuild with beta and release having proguard enabled:

ci
|-- alpha.apk
|-- beta
|   |-- dump.txt
|   |-- mapping.txt
|   |-- seeds.txt
|   `-- usage.txt
|-- beta.apk
|-- output.json
|-- release
|   |-- dump.txt
|   |-- mapping.txt
|   |-- seeds.txt
|   `-- usage.txt
`-- release.apk

Configuration

The PAndroid Gradle plugin will add the necessary tasks to the project but you still have to specify on which task they depend in your app's build.gradle:

alphaBuild.dependsOn ':app:assembleDebug'
betaBuild.dependsOn ':app:assembleBeta'
releaseBuild.dependsOn ':app:assembleRelease'

These two properties define which product flavor and build type variant keiko will use to run Junit tests, Android Instrumentated tests and Android Lint.

rootProject.ext {
    keikoProductFlavor = "prod" // defaults to ''
    keikoBuildType = "release" // defaults to release
  }

This plugin also adds a :bootstrap task to fetch the keys from Dropbox. You can specify the path to the Dropbox folder as following:

pandroid {
  dropboxFolder = 'Hut/alpha'
}

First of all, you need access to the dropbox folder used by this plugin. Follow this link and authorize the application. Once given access, you should see the access_token in the url. Then export the access token to your environment variables:

export PANDROID_DROPBOX_TOKEN=<access_token>

And then run:

$> touch bootstrap.gradle
$> ./gradlew bootstrap -c bootstrap.gradle

You need an empty settings file to avoid configuring the entire project which will fail as you do not have the keys yet after a fresh cloning. Note that the folder with the keys need to be in /Applications/PAndroid Gradle Plugin/
