I don't understand how to recompile from scratch android meterpreter from source code

[Admin9961]

I was looking at https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-payloads/tree/master/java , where I found some docs for the Java/Android meterpreter, I opened a raw .apk payload in android studio but I can just debug... What I'm missins is: how do metasploit do generate the apk?

Let's say I don't want to use msfvenom, how to generate the payload without it? Is the original android met. source code just meant to work with msfvenom? I can't even find the build.gradle dependancy

The options from msfvenom are inserted into the final apk here:
