Jonathan Beauchamp commented on CB-3445:
----------------------------------------
Not supporting gradle seems like a bad move if Google/Android are moving away
from ANT and Eclipse... but is that official at all?
Nonetheless if you import a /platforms/android folder as a project into Android
Studio (0.5.1 in this case), it automatically tries to convert it to Gradle,
whereby everything breaks horribly. I can fudge it so I can still build with
ANT in Android Studio but hardly an ideal pipeline.
Would love to see Gradle support also. Would very much like to be able to use
Android Studio (which seems excellent) with Cordova in a clean and tidy manner.
> 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.
