Android Plugin for Gradle, Revision 1.5.0 (November 2015) +

+ +
+ +
+
Dependencies:
+ +
+
    +
  • Gradle 2.2.1 or higher.
    • +
  • Build Tools 21.1.1 or higher.
    • +
+
+ +
General Notes:
+
+
    +
  • Integrated the Data Binding Plugin into the Android Plugin for Gradle. To enable it, add + the following code to each per-project build.gradle file that uses the + plugin:
    • +
    +android {
+    dataBinding {
+        enabled = true
+    }
+}
+
    +
  • Added a new Transform API + to allow third-party plugins to manipulate compiled .class files before they’re + converted to .dex files. The Transform API simplifies injecting custom class + manipulations while offering more flexibility regarding what you can manipulate. To insert a + transform into a build, create a new class implementing one of the Transform + interfaces, and register it with android.registerTransform(theTransform) or + android.registerTransform(theTransform, dependencies). There’s no need to + wire tasks together. Note the following about the Transform API:
    • +
      +
    • A transform can apply to one or more of the following: the current project, subprojects, + and external libraries.
      • +
    • A transform must be registered globally, which applies them to all variants.
      • +
    • Internal code processing, through the Java Code Coverage Library (JaCoCo), ProGuard, + and MultiDex, now uses the Transform API. However, the Java Android Compiler Kit + (Jack) doesn’t use this API: only the javac/dx code path does.
      • +
    • Gradle executes the transforms in this order: JaCoCo, third-party plugins, ProGuard. + The execution order for third-party plugins matches the order in which the transforms are + added by the third party plugins; third-party plugin developers can't control the execution + order of the transforms through an API.
      • +
    +
  • Deprecated the dex getter from the ApplicationVariant class. + You can't access the Dex task through the variant API anymore because it’s now + accomplished through a transform. There's + currently no replacement for controlling the dex process.
    • +
  • Fixed incremental support for assets.
    • +
  • Improved MultiDex support by making it available for test projects, and + tests now automatically have the com.android.support:multidex-instrumentation + dependency.
    • +
  • Added the ability to properly fail a Gradle build and report the underlying error cause + when the Gradle build invokes asynchronous tasks and there’s a failure in the worker + process.
    • +
  • Added support for configuring a specific Application Binary Interface (ABI) in variants + that contain multiple ABIs.
    • +
  • Added support for a comma-separated list of device serial numbers for the + ANDROID_SERIAL environment variable when installing or running tests.
    • +
  • Fixed an installation failure on devices running Android 5.0 (API level 20) and higher + when the APK name contains a space.
    • +
  • Fixed various issues related to the Android Asset Packaging Tool (AAPT) error output.
    • +
  • Added JaCoCo incremental instrumentation support for faster incremental builds. The + Android Plugin for Gradle now invokes the JaCoCo instrumenter directly. To force a newer + version of the JaCoCo instrumenter, you need to add it as a build script dependency.
    • +
  • Fixed JaCoCo support so it ignores files that aren’t classes.
    • +
  • Added vector drawable support for generating PNGs at build time for backward-compatibility. + Android Plugin for Gradle generates PNGs for every vector drawable found in a resource + directory that doesn’t specify an API version or specifies an + android:minSdkVersion attribute of 20 or lower in the + <uses-sdk> element in the app manifest. You can set PNG densities by + using the generatedDensities property in the defaultConfig or + productFlavor sections of a build.gradle file.
    • +
  • Added sharing of the mockable android.jar, which the plugin generates only + once and uses for unit testing. Multiple modules, such as app and + lib, now share it. Delete $rootDir/build to regenerate it.
    • +
  • Changed the processing of Java resources to occur before the obfuscation tasks instead of + during the packaging of the APK. This change allows the obfuscation tasks to have a chance + to adapt the Java resources following packages obfuscation.
    • +
  • Fixed an issue with using Java Native Interface (JNI) code in the experimental library + plugin.
    • +
  • Added the ability to set the platform version separately from the + android:compileSdkVersion attribute in the experimental library + plugin.
    • +
