Gradle Dynamic Dependency

Convenient way of toggle between source code dependency and artifact dependency.

Usage

For example, if app module depend on android-weak-handler

• add dependency to dependencies block of app

dependencies {
	compile convertDependency('android-weak-handler')
}

• add the following line to local.properties like this

ndk.dir=E\:\\android-sdk\\ndk-bundle
sdk.dir=E\:\\android-sdk
android-weak-handler=com.badoo.mobile:android-weak-handler:1.1

Now you enable artifact dependency.

• If you comment it as following

ndk.dir=E\:\\android-sdk\\ndk-bundle
sdk.dir=E\:\\android-sdk
#android-weak-handler=com.badoo.mobile:android-weak-handler:1.1

The gradle script will clone the source code of android-weak-handler and include module named android-weak-handler into build.
