Ian Clelland commented on CB-3445:
----------------------------------
I've just committed this code, so it is now possible to create projects with a
set of gradle build scripts, and actually build and run with gradle.
To build, either pass the {{--gradle}} command-line flag to the
{{cordova/build}} script (in a CLI project, this lives in
{{platforms/android/cordova/build}}), or set an environment variable and use
the {{cordova}} CLI, like this:
{code}
ANDROID_BUILD=gradle cordova build
{code}
Gradle will also require that the {{JAVA_HOME}} environment variable is set
correctly, or it will fail with an error like "Failed to find system Java
compiler".
> 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
> Assignee: Ian Clelland
> 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.
