Gradle Build – Part 4
Previously in this series we’ve looked at getting a simple Gradle build working and also seen how we can tinker with the source trees to do some quite powerful stuff. In this article we’ll look at adding a second module, or sub-project to our existing project and see how much easier is is to manage…
Gradle Build – Part 3
Previously in this series we’ve created a basic Gradle build-based project, and looked at the build configuration. In this article we’ll have a look at the default structure for storing source and resource files, and look at how we can change this structure.
Gradle Build – Part 2
In the previous article we created a new project with a Gradle build and looked at couple of tricks for getting the build to run faster. In this article we’ll have a look at the build configuration and understand a little more of what’s going on.
Gradle Build – Part 1
At Google I/O 2013 Google announced some new developer tools including the new Android Studio IDE, and a new build system based around Gradle. In this series we’ll have a look at the Gradle build system, and look at how to convert existing projects to use the new build system.
Maven and Android – Part 6
In the previous article we looked at the Maven build lifecycle. In this concluding part, we’ll have a brief tour of some of the more advanced things that we can do with Maven which may convince you that Mavenising your build can provide you with great benefits.
Maven and Android – Part 5
In the previous article we had a look at Maven repositories and saw how Maven can automatically retrieve artifacts from public repositories an put them in to our local one. In this article we’ll look at the Maven build lifecycle, and how we can use Maven to put our own artifacts in to repositories.
Maven and Android – Part 4
In the continuing series about automating your Android builds using Maven, we’ll look at one of the foundations of Maven which is what allows Maven to automatically download project dependencies for us: repositories.
Maven and Android – Part 3
In the previous article looked at some errors that were occurring in our Maven build of an Android project. At the end it appeared that everything was now working, but in fact it was not. In this article we’ll look at how the Eclipse and Maven build processes work together in parallel.
Maven and Android – Part 2
In the previous article we installed Maven and some Android related tools, and got an existing project converted to a Maven build. We had an error because despite all of the tools we installed, Maven itself does not know how to build Android apps. In this article we’ll fix the build and begin to get…
