Summary

In this chapter, we briefly discussed Android development with Gradle as a build tool. We also discussed different closures provided by the Android plugin and how to build an Android project by following the default conventions. We also explained how to customize the build file to fulfill the new project requirements. Of course, there are a lot of things to discuss, such as Android development and Android with Gradle, and we were not able to cover everything in a single chapter. It would require a separate book to detail out all the features of the Android plugin. But we think that we covered most of the basic and important steps required to build an Android project, which will help you to get started with Gradle as an Android build system.
