Playing nice with Gradle - droidcon KE

Presentation given at droidcon KE, Nairobi, 2019

Abstract:
Gradle is the most popular build system in use today for building Android projects. It is an amazing tool that has improved how we build projects especially when we compare to the previous build systems used for Android development.

As your project starts to scale, so does the Gradle setup start to get complicated - from build performance, to configuring plugins, to managing dependencies, to managing multiple modules. Gradle by default makes use of Groovy language, which often does not provide the full features of static typing - hence making it more difficult to customize.

If like me, you’re in a love-hate relationship with Gradle, then, this talk is for you.

In this talk, we will go through top tips to make Gradle work for us as Android developers.

We will talk about different quick wins to make maintaining our Gradle configuration easy by:
avoiding repetitive code as your project modules continue to grow, and
writing your build configuration partly or fully in Kotlin, hence taking advantage of the Kotlin DSL feature.
You will leave this talk with a lot of ideas of how to improve the Gradle setup of your project.

Most of these ideas will be something you can immediately implement while some may require a little more effort. Ultimately we will be able to make Gradle work for you to achieve the best results.

11. #0 - solution
12. #0 - solution Solving the duplication problem with Gradle extra (ext) properties feature
13. // dependencies.gradle ext { ... libraries = [ rxJavaVersion : '2.2.5' rxAndroidVersion : '2.1.0' kotlinVersion : '1.3.31' ] } 1. Externalize dependencies
14. 1. Externalize dependencies 2. Apply dependencies.gradle to root project // root build.gradle buildScript {...} allprojects {...} apply from: 'relative/path/to/dependencies.gradle'
15. 1. Externalize dependencies 2. Apply dependencies.gradle to root project 3. Reference the dependencies in the build.gradle files // <app> build.gradle dependencies { ... def libs = rootProject.ext.libraries implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:...:$libs.kotlinVersion" implementation "io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:$libs.rxJavaVersion" }
16. 1. Externalize dependencies 2. Apply dependencies.gradle to root project 3. Reference the dependencies in the build.gradle files // <app> build.gradle dependencies { implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:...:$libs.kotlinVersion" implementation "io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:$libs.rxJavaVersion" } // <networking-lib> build.gradle dependencies { ... def libs = rootProject.ext.libraries implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:...:$libs.kotlinVersion" implementation "io.reactivex.rxjava2:...:$libs.rxJavaVersion" }
17. 1. Externalize dependencies 2. Apply dependencies.gradle to root project 3.

18. • Managing/updating versions of dependencies is now easier - just need to change in one place • Still has the problem of duplication of dependencies
19. #1
20. #1 • Fairly complex projects • Multiple modules • You will find a lot of repetitions in the dependencies

26. #1 Solution: extract common/shared dependencies and apply to the modules
27. 1. Extract common dependencies // shared-dependencies.gradle - contains all shared dependncies dependencies { implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version" implementation "io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:$rxJavaVersion" ... testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12' }
28. 1. Extract common dependencies 2. Apply common dependencies to respective modules // <login> build.gradle apply from: “relative/path/to/shared-dependencies.gradle" ... dependencies { ... // other dependencies }
29. 1. Extract common dependencies 2. Apply common dependencies to respective modules // <login> build.gradle apply from: “relative/path/to/shared-dependencies.gradle" ... dependencies { ... // other dependencies } // <profile> build.gradle apply from: “relative/path/to/shared-dependencies.gradle" ... dependencies { ... // other dependencies }

32. • Managing shared dependencies becomes easier • Eliminates repeated declaration of dependencies

43. 1. Extract common configuration into separate file https://handstandsam.com/2019/03/12/sharing-gradle-configuration-in-multi-module-android-projects/ // common-android-config.gradle apply plugin: 'kotlin-android' android { compileSdkVersion sdk.compileSdkVersion defaultConfig { minSdkVersion sdk.minSdkVersion targetSdkVersion sdk.targetSdkVersion versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" } } Further reading:

46. Taking it even further with Kotlin DSL
47. Why Kotlin DSL? • Kotlin is now really popular • Same language for code & build logic
48. Why Kotlin DSL? • Kotlin is now really popular • Same language for code & build logic • Better IDE support for build scripts in Kotlin. • Jump to declaration, syntax highlighting, etc
49. Kotlin DSL prerequisites • Gradle 5.0 • Java 8
50. Tips for migrating to Kotlin DSL
51. Tips for migrating to Kotlin DSL 1. <file.gradle> becomes <file.gradle.kts> 2. Single quotes become double quotes 3. Property assignments should have assignment operator ‘=‘ 4. Function calls should have parenthes
52. buildSrc • Gradle allows us create a module to add complex build related logic - like plugins, custom tasks, etc.
53. buildSrc • Gradle allows us create a module to add complex build related logic - like plugins, custom tasks, etc. • It’s a regular module with it’s own: • build.gradle.kts • src/main/java or src/main/kotlin
54. Adding dependencies versions to buildSrc Anatomy of the buildSrc module for dependencies versioning
55. dependencies.gradle -> dependencies.kt // build.gradle.kts plugins { `kotlin-dsl` } repositories { jcenter() }
56. dependencies.gradle -> dependencies.kt // Dependencies.kt object SdkVersions { const val compileSdkVersion = 28 const val minSdkVersion = 21 const val targetSdkVersion = 28 } object Deps { const val kotlinStdLib = “org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.3.41" const val gson = “com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5" ... object Rx { const val rxJava2 = "io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.2.10" const val rxAndroid = "io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxandroid:2.1.1" } ... }
57. dependencies.gradle -> dependencies.kt // Dependencies.kt object SdkVersions { const val compileSdkVersion = 28 const val minSdkVersion = 21 const val targetSdkVersion = 28 } object Deps { const val kotlinStdLib = “org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.3.41" const val gson = “com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5" ... object Rx { const val rxJava2 = "io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.2.10" const val rxAndroid = "io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxandroid:2.1.1" } ... }
58. dependencies.gradle -> dependencies.kt // Dependencies.kt object Deps { const val kotlinStdLib = “org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.3.41" const val gson = “com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5" } // Usage in build.gradle dependencies { implementation Deps.kotlinStdLib implementation Deps.gson ... }
59. dependencies.gradle -> dependencies.kt // Dependencies.kt object Deps { const val kotlinStdLib = “org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.3.41" const val gson = “com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5" } // Usage in build.gradle dependencies { implementation Deps.kotlinStdLib implementation Deps.gson ... } Syntax highlighting ✅ “Jump to declaration” ✅
