To build the agp-experimental/declarative, you need to also have Android Studio codebase checked out and pointed to by the AGP_WORKSPACE_LOCATION environment variable. It is needed to access some of the testing infrastructure like accessing SDK, NDK and services like exploring APKs, AARs, etc... You also need to have the CUSTOM_REPO environment variable set.
So for example this is what I use on my mac
AGP_WORKSPACE_LOCATION=/Users/jedo/src/studio-main
CUSTOM_REPO=$AGP_WORKSPACE_LOCATION/out/repo:$AGP_WORKSPACE_LOCATION/prebuilts/tools/common/m2/repository
To build : gw publish
To run the test in Gradle : gw tests:test or click on the Play in the gutter.
There is a high level design doc available here, a deeper design doc will be written once the project is founded.
There are 4 modules in the current workspace
| module | content |
|---|---|
| buildSrc | convention plugins and Constants used to build the project |
| api | public APIs of the plugin |
| impl | implementation of the plugins |
| tests | integration tests |
There are 2 plugins, a Project one and a Settings one. The Project plugin has the core of
the declarative functionality :
- Reads the build.gradle.toml
- Applies the configured plugins
- Reflectively populate the extension objects
- Configure the dependencies/
The Settings plugin will do a similar job on the Settings object :
- Reads the settings.gradle.toml
- Configure the declarative plugins on each project
- Provide basic plugin management capability.
