SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates repetitive code in build.gradle.kts files by centralizing build logic, Compose setup, Kotlin options, and dependency management using Gradle Convention Plugins and Version Catalogs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized Build Logic: Define common configurations once in reusable plugins.
  • Version Catalogs: Manage dependencies and plugins efficiently in a single TOML file.
  • Scalable Architecture: Adopt best practices for maintainable and scalable Android project builds, inspired by the "Now in Android" architecture.
  • Use Case: Quickly apply a standard set of Android application configurations (like target SDK, common dependencies, and build features) to a new module with a single plugin application.

Quick Start

Apply the nowinandroid.android.application plugin to your module's build.gradle.kts file.

FAQPage Schema
How do I centralize Android Gradle build logic to stop repeating configurations across modules?

You can centralize Android Gradle build logic by applying Gradle Convention Plugins and Version Catalogs. This approach defines common configurations, Compose setup, and Kotlin options once in reusable plugins to eliminate repetitive code in build.gradle.kts files.

What are Gradle Convention Plugins for Android module builds?

Gradle Convention Plugins are reusable plugins that encapsulate standard Android application configurations. They allow you to apply a set of target SDK, common dependencies, and build features to a new module with a single plugin application in your build.gradle.kts file.

How do I manage Android dependencies efficiently using a Version Catalog?

You manage Android dependencies efficiently using a Version Catalog by defining them in a single TOML file. This centralizes dependency and plugin management across all modules, ensuring scalable and maintainable project builds.

Do I need specific Gradle and Kotlin versions to use Convention Plugins for Android?

Yes, you need Gradle 8.2 or higher and Kotlin 1.9.20 or higher for optimal performance and feature support. These minimum versions ensure full compatibility when configuring scalable Android build logic with Convention Plugins and Version Catalogs.

What is the best way to scale Android build configurations for a growing project?

The best way to scale Android build configurations is adopting the Now in Android architecture. This architecture uses Convention Plugins and Version Catalogs to automate setup, dependency management, and plugin application, ensuring maintainable and scalable project builds.

Can I apply a standard set of Android configurations to a new module with a single plugin?

Yes, you can apply standard Android configurations to a new module with a single plugin. By applying the nowinandroid.android.application plugin to your module's build.gradle.kts file, you automate common build configurations and dependency management instantly.
