Kradle

A portmanteau of the words Kotlin and Gradle, this is a group of Gradle plugins that aim to reduce boilerplate for regular JVM and Android modules.

---

Plugins

Most plugins accept configuration through their respective extension blocks.

They can also be configured from the root project by applying the *-config plugins. For example, to configure the target and minimum SDK for all Android modules:

plugins {
    id("io.github.lyxnx.gradle.android-config") version "<version>"
}

kradle {
    android {
        minSdk.set(21)
        targetSdk.set(34)
    }
}

Then simply apply the respective plugin depending on whether the module is a library or application

Kotlin

Provides common configuration for Kotlin modules.

• Applies the kotlin plugin
• Configures the JVM toolchain
  • If using Android, AGP will automatically configure the sourceCompatibility and targetCompatibility based on this value
• Configures test options (JUnit 4/Jupiter (JUnit 5))

Android

Both will:

• Apply the org.gradle.android.cache-fix plugin (if added to the root build script)
• Apply the kotlin plugin
• Configure test options from the aforementioned kotlin plugin
• Set the minimum and target SDKs
• Disable the aidl, renderScript, and shaders build features

Library

• Apply the AGP com.android.library plugin
• Disable the buildConfig, resValues, and androidResources build features

Application

• Apply the AGP com.android.application plugin
• Configures the debug and release build types
