How to build NDK module using gradle experimental plugin? [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to build project with module which uses NDK. But Gradle build gives error.

this is my build.gradle(Main project)

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'

   //     classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.1.0'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

when I try to use this gradle:1.5.0 it gives error ' Error:(17, 0) Plugin with id 'com.android.model.application' not found.'

On the other hand, If I use gradle-experimental:0.1.0 it gives error ' Error:(17, 0) Plugin with id 'com.android.application' not found.'

How can I solve this error? I have several modules in my project. How can I set gradle with satisfying all modules?

You should use experimental plugin for NDK purpose:

So your build.gradle(Main Project) will look like:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.4.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

and build.gradle(app) will look like:

apply plugin: 'com.android.model.application'

model {
    android {
        compileSdkVersion = 23
        buildToolsVersion = "23.0.2"

        defaultConfig.with {
            applicationId = "com.sample.codecator"
            minSdkVersion.apiLevel = 19
            targetSdkVersion.apiLevel = 19
        }
    }
}

If you are using any library module then its build.gradle will look like:

apply plugin: 'com.android.model.library'

model {
    android {
        compileSdkVersion = 23
        buildToolsVersion = "23.0.2"

        defaultConfig.with {
            minSdkVersion.apiLevel = 19
            targetSdkVersion.apiLevel = 19
        }
    }
}

You should put following out of android{...} block:

android.buildTypes
android.sources
android.productFlavors

Like:

model {

android {
            compileSdkVersion = 23
            buildToolsVersion = "23.0.2"

            defaultConfig.with {
                minSdkVersion.apiLevel = 19
                targetSdkVersion.apiLevel = 19
            }


   android.buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled = false
        proguardFiles.add(file("proguard-rules.pro"))
         }
     }
    android.productFlavors {
       //
    }

    android.sources {
        //
    }
}

Do not forget to set ndk.dir=ndk_path in your local.properties file.

UPDATE

Update android.buildTypes code in your all files like this:

android.buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled = false
            proguardFiles.add(file("proguard-rules.pro"))
        }
    }

do I have to change all module's gradle like module{...}? – Swedenborgian

I think yes, because you are using com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.4.0 gradle plugin and it will support 'com.android.model.application' only. – Rohn

I'm changing all modules to 'com.android.model.library' instead of 'com.android.library'. but suddenly it gives the other error -"Error:Could not find property 'android' on task ':library:androidJavadocs'." can you help me what this error means? – Swedenborgian

@shj you also have to use model instead of android like I did in build.gradle(app) code above. In that pattern you have to modify it. – Rohn

I changed my all gradle to use model as you mentioned above. But it gives the other error. Error:Unable to load class 'com.android.build.gradle.managed.ProductFlavor_Impl'. How to solve this error? – Swedenborgian

can you please share your code here? – Rohn

@shj check my edited answer. – Rohn

I tried your answer. another error 'com.android.build.gradle.managed.BuildType_Impl' I added my module's gradle files. can you please check it? – Swedenborgian

@shj android.buildTypes it should be outside of android but inside of model Please check my answer I gave one example code too at last of post. You should edit like that. – Rohn

I think I followed your answer. android.buildTypes is outside of android and inside of model in all my gradle code. can you check again, please? – Swedenborgian

@shj check the updated answer. – Rohn

@shj do not forget to accept answer if your problem is solved :) – Rohn

Thanks! It works perfectly now! It seems to replace all '+=' equations to 'add()' in gradle files. – Swedenborgian
