But, if you want to execute a2SampleTask and a1SampleTask together it always executes the a1SampleTask before a2SampleTask. When you execute a2SampleTask alone, it does not run the a1SampleTask. A much lighter bonding is a2SampleTask.mustRunAfter(a1SampleTask).

If you want to execute a2SampleTask but the a1SampleTask should always run before, you can bond them by depending one to each other ( pendsOn(a1SampleTask)). Let’s say that you have 2 tasks ( a1SampleTask, a2SampleTask) that you want to run with some bonding between them. The configuration of the tasks happens all the time, no matter the task you selected to execute. Let’s say that you want to run a task named anotherTask you will see the line A1 -> Configuration phase of a1SampleTask printed in the Run Console Output. We should write flatDir at top level build file as it is shown below:ĭoFirst and doLast will run into the Execution phase but anything outside these 2 blocks will be executed during Configuration. If you want to add all libraries for all flavors under you libs folder you could write implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include:) to the dependencies section of the build file of each module.Īpart from adding a library like a file you could make a folder to behave like a repository. This library is the skydoves/Balloon, which I have downloaded for demonstration purposes. Usually we add the library in the libs folder of the module which is going to be used.įor our example let’s say that we have a local library “balloon.aar”. Under some unique circumstances we might need to add dependencies from our local folder.

Insert libraries for local folder or repository This can be done by writing simpleImplementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0' to add a dependency for the simple flavor of our application.

We can add a new library dependency for every flavor. The usual way to insert a library is to go to the dependencies section of the build file of each module and write implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0'.

For this example we assume that we have a project with two flavors ( simple, advanced).
