used for a long time • Tons of examples • DSL support Cons • Need to learn new language • Manual version management • No code completion • No type safety
Rename file extensions build.gradle jadi build.gradle.kts • Add = to assignment calls minSdk 24 jadi minSdk = 24 • Prefix boolean properties with is minifyEnabled true jadi isMinifyEnabled = true • Add parentheses to method calls include ':app' jadi include(":app") • Convert strings testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2' jadi testImplementation("junit:junit:4.13.2")
• DSL support • No need to learn new language (one language for all!) • Code completion • Access to documentation • Can be mixed with Groovy DSL Cons • Minim of examples • Tend to be slower
Pros • Code completion • Type safety • IDE Support for navigation Cons • Non trivial setup • Frequent cache loss (version update clear the cache) • No warning for dependency update
• Code completion • Type safety • No cache loss • Best practices and easy to setup • Android Studio support • 1 line implementation via bundles • Auto dependency update • Publish catalog to other project!
