Andrew Grieve commented on CB-3445:
-----------------------------------
Would love to see Gradle support, just hasn't reached the top of any
committer's priority list yet (no one working on it). It's certainly something
I would love to see though.
Tough part in my mind is migration. E.g. does our cordova/build script just
stop working with ant? does it detect what you have installed and use gradle
when available?
> Move Cordova-Android Build Setup to Gradle
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-3445
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3445
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Android
> Reporter: Joe Bowser
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently we're using ant for our setup, and our setup can break every time
> that the Android SDK updates and change its build.xml. However, the Android
> Team has created Gradle to be more robust such that it doesn't have the same
> problems as ant-based scripts.
> This also has the advantage of using Android Studio for development instead
> of Eclipse, and the ability for us to bundle resources, which is something we
> haven't been able to do before.
> Moving to Gradle has numerous advantages, but will break scripts, so this is
> to be moved in the post-3.0 timeframe.
