SidneyS commented on CB-3445:
-----------------------------
It depends on whether Cordova should cling to legacy software or current,
future-oriented environments. Google is heavily proponing Android Studio, and
all newcomers are using Studio despite the few bugs on canary versions.
I also do not see the build tool problem - ANT has far more troubles then just
bundling a gradle wrapper. Its self-contained, no need to set environment
variables or other stuff.

> 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.
