Request to add support for gradle project about buildapks

[SDRausty]

@wyssdbd are you familiar with #11 Add an external jar dependency?

[SDRausty]

There are numerous ways to accomplish this:

support for gradle project

Parsing a build.gradle file should resolve your request. Should you make progress in automating this process, please share your progress @wyssdbd.

As far as automating parsing: Artifacts can be loaded in $JDR (possibly also unzipped into the src directory), and symlinked back into ~/buildAPKs/libs seems like a possible option to conserve native space on device. The ~/buildAPKs/sources directory can be a link to external storage to conserve native space on device.

Issue transferred to Parsing Project Configuration Files BuildAPKs/buildAPKs#1

Reprint from Parsing Project Configuration Files BuildAPKs/buildAPKs#1:

BuildAPKs could parse project configuration files automatically. In order for buildAPKs to do so, it wants to know:

1. What are the configuration files:
   • build.gradle
   • proguard-project.txt

There are other configuration files that should be parsed. What are the file names?

2. How should the configuration files be parse:
   • Should the libraries be downloaded and linked?
   • Should the libraries be downloaded and unpacked into the source? This method may be more comfortable, and more transparent while working with the project sourcecode.

How should the build scripts integrate this simple task (parsing, downloading and linking). Device space is important while working with multiple projects that want the same libraries. Pull requests requested.

@SDRausty do you know of a guide that would help me parse a build.gradle file such as this one ? I currently build this app in Android Studio and Gradle's magic is a bit of a mystery to me.

[SDRausty]

do you know of a guide

@sudomain if you find one, please share BuildAPKs/buildAPKs#2 here.
