How to set build.gradle file to execute checkLicenses task every time after sync

[ghost]

In our project we want to check licenses automatically every time after sync.
I can do that by setting my own gradle task in my Android Studio, but we want the whole team could do the same thing without other setting.

Thank you for making this convenient library!

You mean you'd like to run checkLicense every gradle sync on AS with configuring build.gradle, don't you?

You can it with preBuild.dependsOn(checkLicense), I think. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27816699/android-studio-gradle-task-to-execute-after-sync

But we recommend you run the task on CI since the task takes additional time.

Thank you for your answer, I tried preBuild.dependsOn(checkLicense), but get build error

Error:(25, 0) Could not get unknown property 'checkLicense' for project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

I also asked similar question how to set build.gradle file at stackoverflow.

We will run the check task before release until we find a way to do it automatically.
Anyway, arigatou gozaimasu.

Oops, I think its my mistake. checkLicense should be checkLicenses.
checkLicense part should set correct task name you can obtain from gradle tasks.

I think stackoverflow is better than asking about it here since this issue is related to Gradle and Android Studio.

So, I close this issue.
Thanks!
