Minimum version | Default version | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|
Gradle | 2.2.1 | 2.2.1 | To learn more, see updating Gradle. |
SDK Build Tools | 21.1.1 | 21.1.1 | Install or configure SDK Build Tools. |
General Notes:
-
Added support for the
com.android.build.threadPoolSize
property to control theAndroid
task thread pool size from thegradle.properties
file or the command line. The following example sets this property to 4.-Pcom.android.build.threadPoolSize=4
- Set the default build behavior to exclude
LICENSE
andLICENSE.txt
files from APKs. To include these files in an APK, remove these files from thepackagingOptions.excludes
property in thebuild.gradle
file. For example:android { packagingOptions.excludes = [] }
android { packagingOptions.excludes.clear() }
- Added the
sourceSets
task to inspect the set of all available source sets. - Enhanced unit test support to recognize multi-flavor and
build variant source folders. For example, to test an app with multi-flavors
flavor1
andflavorA
with theDebug
build type, the test source sets are:- test
- testFlavor1
- testFlavorA
- testFlavor1FlavorA
- testFlavor1FlavorADebug
Android tests already recognized multi-flavor source folders.
- Improved unit test support to:
- Run
javac
on main and test sources, even if theuseJack
property is set totrue
in your build file. - Correctly recognize dependencies for each build type.
- Run
- Added support for specifying instrumentation test-runner arguments from the command line.
For example:
./gradlew connectedCheck
-Pandroid.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.size=medium
-Pandroid.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.class=TestA,TestB Added support for arbitrary additional Android Asset Packaging Tool (AAPT) parameters in the
build.gradle
file. For example:android { aaptOptions { additionalParameters "--custom_option", "value" } }
android { aaptOptions { additionalParameters += listOf("--custom_option", "value") } }
- Added support for a
test APK module as a separate test module, using the
targetProjectPath
andtargetVariant
properties to set the APK path and target variant.Note: A test APK module does not support product flavors and can only target a single variant. Also, Jacoco is not supported yet.
- Added resource name validation before merging resources.
- When building an AAR (Android ARchive) package for library modules, do not provide an
automatic
@{applicationId}
placeholder in the manifest merger settings. Instead, use a different placeholder, such as@{libApplicationId}
and provide a value for it if you want to include application Ids in the archive library.
