What does this PR do?

Updates to latest version of the Android gradle plugin (3.2.0)
Updates gradle to the minimum version required by that plugin (4.6)
Fixes a gradle warning about LeftShift Closure being deprecated
Fixes a gradle warning about publishNonDefault being deprecated
Uses the google() repo syntax to reference the Google maven repository
Updates the Github/project URLs for maven artifacts

I guess the version here is no longer correct with this change

Supposedly 26.1.1 is still the latest, but the download link doesn't match what was here before 😕

Actually, this should install the minimum version of Gradle needed to generate the wrapper with our actually required version. At least that was true before this change.

I think you missed to replace one location with google(): https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/bin/templates/cordova/lib/plugin-build.gradle#L23

Apps builds, deploys and runs fine with that piece adjusted.

oliversalzburg · 2018-09-26T20:36:26Z

I'm also seeing this in the sync log:

Configuration 'compile' in project ':app' is deprecated. Use 'implementation' instead.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47300679/configuration-compile-in-is-deprecated-but-all-configurations-are-implementa says to upgrade gradle to 3.2.0, which resolves the warning for me.

oliversalzburg · 2018-09-26T20:39:57Z

I'm also seeing

publishNonDefault is deprecated and has no effect anymore. All variants are now published.

Removing https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/bin/templates/cordova/lib/plugin-build.gradle#L49 resolves the warning.

oliversalzburg · 2018-09-26T20:51:46Z

The SDK version should be moved from https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/bin/templates/project/AndroidManifest.xml#L48 to https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/bin/templates/project/app/build.gradle#L165

dpogue · 2018-11-01T04:19:17Z

The SDK version should be moved from https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/bin/templates/project/AndroidManifest.xml#L48 to https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/bin/templates/project/app/build.gradle#L165

See #508 for additional discussion around that point.
Short answer is that you're right, longer answer is that it's complicated.

Other then the one question I posted below, I feel that the changes are OK.

test/wrapper.gradle

brodybits · 2018-11-12T17:31:06Z

bin/templates/project/app/build.gradle

 }

 // Configuration properties. Set these via environment variables, build-extras.gradle, or gradle.properties.
 // Refer to: http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/tutorial_this_and_that.html
 ext {
    apply from: '../CordovaLib/cordova.gradle'
+
    // The value for android.compileSdkVersion.
    if (!project.hasProperty('cdvCompileSdkVersion')) {
        cdvCompileSdkVersion = null;


Remove semicolon here (as proposed in PR #441)?

What does this have to do with this PR?

brodybits · 2018-11-12T17:34:20Z

bin/templates/project/app/build.gradle

    }
 }

 // Allow plugins to declare Maven dependencies via build-extras.gradle.
 allprojects {
    repositories {
-        mavenCentral();
+        mavenCentral()


Add google() or replace mavenCentral() with google() here, as suggested in https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/pull/441/files/478450fe4fe6a7b06e15d2b68facf0aecd63a27e#r228693626?

What has #441 to do with this?

Updates and suggestions in #441 may be relevant here. This PR is to update Gradle in general. #441 was raised to introduce Kotlin support but it did include some general updates that I think we should consider outside of adding the Kotlin support.

brodybits · 2018-11-12T17:35:51Z

I raised a few comments based on PR #441. Should we address these?

Is this ready to be merged?

dpogue · 2018-11-12T17:38:03Z

I believe this is ready to be merged, but I'm not sure what you think it has to do with #441, which is proposing the addition of an entirely different feature.

This PR is updating gradle versions for compatibility with the latest Android SDK.
Kotlin support is out of scope here.

brodybits · 2018-11-12T17:40:20Z

I understand that Kotlin is out of scope. But I think some suggestions in #441 should be considered since they seem to be outside the scope of adding Kotlin.

brodybits · 2018-11-12T17:41:33Z

Or should some of the suggestions be considered in yet another PR?

davidschreiber · 2018-11-15T13:13:27Z

bin/templates/project/app/build.gradle

        jcenter()
    }
 }

 task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
-    gradleVersion = '4.4.0'
+    gradleVersion = '4.6.0'


Any reason for not using the latest 4.10.2? It should deliver better build speeds and other benefits.

Historically we've targeted the minimum required version of gradle

Is there some specific reason for targeting the minimum version? I don't think that targeting older versions has benefits over targeting newer versions. Also, Gradle development between 4.6 and 4.10 greatly focused on speed

(Might be worth opening a whole new issue about this thing so it doesn't get buried here)

Also, as I mentioned in #596 - Since Gradle 4.9 it is possible to build App Bundle - a better way to publish apps to the Play Store.
Currently, Cordova doesn't support this and I have to manually change the app manifests after each build.
