Gradle Android Plugin 0.9.8

In Gradle android Plugin 0.9.8 you can now have AIDL files processed automatically(my code contribution) also some other neat additions. Another developer is working on support for the Test stuff, I think that might be 0.9.9 which is upcoming.

Android Gradle Plugin

Some one created a gradle android plugin. The problem I see is that instead of adjusting sourceSets in the plugin from the defaults of src/main/java, etc they make the user of the plugin do a manual adjust of the src files, not good.

Gradle Task for Proguard

I use proguard settings specific to Android Java applications so change to fit your needs before using:

task generateProguardConfigFile << { logger.info('Creating andcooper.pro file for obfsucate task') /** * andcooper.pro must have the following text * (the variables are replaced as the fiel is created): * -libraryjars androidJar: externalLibsFolder * -injars outClassesLocation * -outjars obfuscateLocation/classes.min.jar * -keep public class * extends android.app.Activity * -optimizations !code/simplification/cast * -allowaccessmodification * * '\n' goes at end of each line */ andcooperProguardConfig = new file('andcooper.pro') andcooperProguardConfig.withWriter{ writer ->
writer << ‘-libraryjars ’ + androidJar + '; ' + externalLibsFolder + '\n' writer << ‘-injars ' + outClassesLocation + '\n' writer << '-outjars ' + obfuscateLocation + '/classes.min.jar' + '\n' writer << '-keep public class * extends android.app.Activity' + '\n' writer << '-optimizations !code/simplification/cast' + '\n' writer << '-allowaccessmodification' + '\n' } } task obfuscate << { ant.taskdef(resource: 'proguard/ant/task.properties', classpath: configurations.runtime.asPath ) ant.proguard(configuration: 'andcooper.pro') } [/sourcecode] Notice all I am doing is creating the proguard.pro file on-the-fly and than using that in my taskdef via the ANTBuilder.
