Gradle Scripts

Android Studio uses Gradle as the build system for Android projects. The build process is defined in Gradle scripts written in the Groovy or Kotlin programming languages.

Here is the tutorial for Kotlin

The main Gradle scripts commonly found in  Android projects are:

build.gradle:

This script is located in the root of your project and is used to configure build settings that apply to the entire project.

plugins {
    id("com.android.application")
}

android {
    namespace = "com.microappvalley.newtestproject"
    compileSdk = 34 //Complete SDK Version

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId = "com.microappvalley.newtestproject" //unique Id (show in url)
        minSdk = 24  //minimum API Lavel Phone
        targetSdk = 34  //Max API Lavel Phone
        versionCode = 1 //Version Code
        versionName = "1.0" //Version Number

        testInstrumentationRunner = "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            isMinifyEnabled = false
            proguardFiles(
                getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android-optimize.txt"),
                "proguard-rules.pro"
            )
        }
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation("androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.6.1")
    implementation("com.google.android.material:material:1.11.0")
    implementation("androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4")
    testImplementation("junit:junit:4.13.2")
    androidTestImplementation("androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.5")
    androidTestImplementation("androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.5.1")

   /* Anny library file add here*/
}

Gradle-wrapper.properties:

This file, typically named gradle-wrapper.properties, contains configuration settings for the Gradle Wrapper, which is a script that downloads and runs a specific version of Gradle.
