Android APP - Config your build

• https://developer.android.google.cn/studio/build

1. The Gradle settings file - settings.gradle
   the settings.gradle file, located in the root project directory, tells Gradle which modules it should include when building your app. For most projects, the file is simple and only includes the following:

 include ‘:app’

2. The top-level build file
   The top-level build.gradle file, located in the root project directory, defines build configurations that apply to all modules in your project. By default, the top-level build file uses the buildscript block to define the Gradle repositories and dependencies that are common to all modules in the project. The following code sample describes the default settings and DSL elements you can find in the top-level build.gradle after creating a new project.

 /**
 * The buildscript block is where you configure the repositories and
 * dependencies for Gradle itself—meaning, you should not include dependencies
 * for your modules here. For example, this block includes the Android plugin for
 * Gradle as a dependency because it provides the additional instructions Gradle
 * needs to build Android app modules.
 */

buildscript {

    /**
     * The repositories block configures the repositories Gradle uses to
     * search or download the dependencies. Gradle pre-configures support for remote
     * repositories such as JCenter, Maven Central, and Ivy. You can also use local
     * repositories or define your own remote repositories. The code below defines
     * JCenter as the repository Gradle should use to look for its dependencies.
     *
     * New projects created using Android Studio 3.0 and higher also include
     * Google's Maven repository.
     */

    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }

    /**
     * The dependencies block configures the dependencies Gradle needs to use
     * to build your project. The following line adds Android plugin for Gradle
     * version 3.6.0 as a classpath dependency.
     */

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.0'
    }
}

/**
 * The allprojects block is where you configure the repositories and
 * dependencies used by all modules in your project, such as third-party plugins
 * or libraries. However, you should configure module-specific dependencies in
 * each module-level build.gradle file. For new projects, Android Studio
 * includes JCenter and Google's Maven repository by default, but it does not
 * configure any dependencies (unless you select a template that requires some).
 */

allprojects {
   repositories {
       google()
       jcenter()
   }
}

1. Configure project-wide properties
   For Android projects that include multiple modules, it may be useful to define certain properties at the project level and share them across all the modules. You can do this by adding extra properties to the ext block in the top-level build.gradle file.

 buildscript {...}

allprojects {...}

// This block encapsulates custom properties and makes them available to all
// modules in the project.
ext {
    // The following are only a few examples of the types of properties you can define.
    compileSdkVersion = 28
    // You can also create properties to specify versions for dependencies.
    // Having consistent versions between modules can avoid conflicts with behavior.
    supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
    ...
}
...

To access these properties from a module in the same project, use the following syntax in the module’s build.gradle file (you can learn more about this file in the section below).

android {
  // Use the following syntax to access properties you defined at the project level:
  // rootProject.ext.property_name
  compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
  ...
}
...
dependencies {
    implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}"
    ...
}
