SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Gradle convention plugins enable centralized build policy and reusable logic across Android projects. This Skill documents how to structure, register, and maintain these conventions to ensure consistent behavior across modules and builds.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Included builds isolate build logic from application modules (build-logic with a shared catalogs).
  • Precompiled script plugins streamline plugin registration and reuse across projects.
  • Centralized policy enforcement, diagnostics catalog generation, and consistent AGP API usage.

Quick Start

Create a new convention plugin under build-logic/convention, apply it in modules with its ID, and run a Gradle sync to activate the policy.

Frequently Asked Questions about convention-plugin-development

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize Gradle build configurations across multiple Android modules?▼

You can standardize Gradle build configurations by applying convention plugins via included builds. This isolates build logic in a dedicated build-logic module and enforces consistent policies across all Android project modules.

What are Gradle convention plugins and when do I need them for Android builds?▼

Gradle convention plugins are reusable plugins that centralize build policy and task wiring. You need them to enforce consistent behavior and reuse logic across modules in multi-module Android builds.

Does the convention plugin development approach work with Kotlin DSL and precompiled script plugins?▼

Yes, the approach works with Kotlin DSL and precompiled script plugins. It streamlines plugin registration and reuse by utilizing a shared version catalog to manage dependencies and apply consistent AGP API usage.

How to set up a convention plugin in an Android project using included builds?▼

Create a new convention plugin under the build-logic/convention directory, apply it in your target modules using its plugin ID, and run a Gradle sync to activate the centralized build policy.

Can I use this convention plugin structure to generate a diagnostics catalog?▼

Yes, this structure supports centralized policy enforcement and diagnostics catalog generation. It applies safe, cache-friendly task wiring to maintain consistent build behaviors across your Android modules.

What is the best way to manage shared versions in a Gradle multi-module Android project?▼

The best way to manage shared versions is by using a shared version catalog within your included builds. This isolates build logic and ensures consistent dependency versions across all convention plugins.
