Gradle Dependency and Utils

Introduction

Project wide handling of tested and used libraries. Also including some utility gradle tasks.

Dependencies

The idea is to have all projects being up-to-date just by updating the dependency submodule.

Global variables

compileSdkVer
buildToolsVer
minSdkVer
targetSdkVer
kotlinVersion
supportLibVer
playServicesVer
firebaseVer
retrofitVersion
robolectricVersion

Utils

Exported Tasks

Gradle Wrapper

Mind the : in front of wrapper to execute task in root project instead of subproject.

gradle :wrapper

generateReleaseNotes

Meant to write end-user non technical release notes for automated store publications.

generateChangelog

Generates a file at ${project.rootDir}/app/src/main/assets/CHANGELOG.md including a list of all git commits with VSC hash link and commit user.

preBuild.dependsOn generateChangelogTask

copyReadme

Copies README.md to ${project.rootDir}/app/src/main/assets/

generateEnvironmentLog

Meant to debug build environment issues, never bundle it into a release version, due it may include build environment secrets.

Generates a file at ${project.rootDir}/app/src/main/assets/ENVIRONMENT.md including System.getenv()

preBuild.dependsOn generateEnvironmentLogTask

commitHash

Prints current commit hash.

commitCount

Prints amount of commits based on current branch. (Caution when using it for versionCode: it's meant for release branches, due every branches can have a higher number.)

simpleReleaseVersionName

Creating release version name. Format: major.minor.build.

canonicalReleaseVersionName

Creating release version name. Format: branch/major.minor.build-commithash

buildNumberByCI

Getting build number from Jenkins, Travis or Bitrise.

branchName

Getting branch name from CI or from git directly.

branchNameByCI

Getting build number from Jenkins, Travis or Bitrise.

branchNameByGit

Basically calls:

git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD

To add tasks to preBuild

task('printEnvironmentTask') {
    println(System.getenv())
}

task('generateEnvironmentLogTask') {
     // generateEnvironmentLog() for debugging purposes
}

task('generateChangelogTask') {
    generateChangelog()
}

task('generateReleaseNotesTask') {
    generateReleaseNotes()
}

task copyReadme(type: Copy) {
    from "${project.rootDir}/README.md"
    into "${project.rootDir}/app/src/main/assets"
}

preBuild.dependsOn printEnvironmentTask
preBuild.dependsOn generateChangelogTask
preBuild.dependsOn generateReleaseNotesTask
preBuild.dependsOn copyReadme
