AndroidPluginVersion

class AndroidPluginVersion : Comparable


Represents a version of the Android Gradle Plugin

Designed for plugin authors to compare the currently running plugin version, so implements comparable.

For example AndroidPluginVersion(7, 0) refers to Android Gradle Plugin version 7.0.0, and AndroidPluginVersion(7, 0, 1) refers to Android Gradle Plugin version 7.0.1.

The internal representation is normalized, so that AndroidPluginVersion(7, 0) equals AndroidPluginVersion(7, 0, 0)

Also supports preview versions through methods alpha, beta and rc that return the more specific version. For example AndroidPluginVersion(7, 0).alpha(5) refers to Android Gradle Plugin version 7.0.0-alpha05. This is for use when developing using incubating APIs that have changed between preview releases of the Android Gradle Plugin. Once those APIs are stable in a stable version of Android Gradle Plugin, it's recommended to drop support for the preview versions. For example, if a new API was introduced in 7.0.0-alpha05, you can test for that using

``if (androidComponents.pluginVersion >= AndroidPluginVersion(7.0).alpha(5)) { ... }``

If that API is marked as stable in 7.0.0, drop support for the preview versions before it by updating your condition to:

``if (androidComponents.pluginVersion >= AndroidPluginVersion(7.0)) { ... }``
