Is there any way to integrate Eclipse with Gradle in Android project?

android eclipse gradle android-gradle-plugin gradle-eclipse

I have Android project with standard build.gradle (also I added android annotations).

Also I installed Gradle plugin (from http://dist.springsource.org/release/GRECLIPSE/e4.3/) to my Eclipse (Kepler) and converted project to Gradle project.

Unfortunately I cannot run Gradle build on my Eclipse (in cmd line everything works).

My question is how to make Eclipse works with Gradle just like with Maven.

Long story short: Eclipse does not support Android+Gradle? – Quinquepartite 11/11, 2013 at 17:38

No. But it's still possible to have a project that can be developed & built on both Eclipse and Android Studio/Gradle. (Easiest if you first create the project on Eclipse, use the old-style layout.) – Malleus 9/1, 2014 at 19:0

i just imported an ansdroid studio project into eclipse. other than adding a .project file to the main directory and also to app/, it looks like there were no changes. – Atropos 13/11, 2015 at 1:21

Has anyone tried this: gradle.org/press-release/eclipse-gradle – Axle 2/12, 2015 at 7:12

In order to be able to build an Android gradle project with Eclipse I followed these instructions:

Install these Eclipse plugins:
- Gradle IDE (3.4.0)
- Android Development Tools (22.3.0)
If you have an old-style android project layout, change your build.gradle to configure source directories as explained in the Android Gradle User Guide.
If you have a gradle android project layout, create two symbolic links into the root of your project.

ln -s src/main/res res
ln -s src/main/AndroidManifest.xml AndroidManifest.xml

I hope it helps!

Did you intall any plugins to Eclipse? – Quinquepartite 27/12, 2013 at 15:43

He mentioned: "Gradle IDE (3.4.0), Android Development Tools (22.3.0)" – Derina 30/12, 2013 at 1:36

Additionally I installed Groovy/Grails ToolSuite (GGTS) plugin to have syntax highlighting for the build.gradle file. – Rackety 9/1, 2014 at 15:33

I've been trying to get this and related projects to work for hours. Can you post a sample project somewhere? – Citron 12/1, 2014 at 19:50

Googling for "Gradle IDE (3.4.0)" brings up the Eclipse Marketplace version, which failed to install for me. The instructions on github.com/spring-projects/eclipse-integration-gradle work. – Age 31/1, 2014 at 18:41

how to create those two symbolic links? – Bot 9/4, 2014 at 18:38

In linux: ln -s src/main/res res;ln -s src/main/AndroidManifest.xml AndroidManifest.xml – Rackety 10/4, 2014 at 7:51

In Windows creating symbolic links is a little bit more complicated but they work the same like on Linux. I suggest using this tool code.google.com/p/symlinker – Edraedrea 10/4, 2014 at 15:48

Is there a way to specify eclipse-specific configuration in build.gradle that avoids creating the symbolic links? – Pallbearer 31/8, 2014 at 22:42

This is not full or fake answer. Please share what are .classpath and .project values? That would show usage of plugins in the project and not the fact that Eclipse has them. – Agamete 28/9, 2014 at 3:42

try Nodeclipse/Enide Gradle for Eclipse (marketplace)

I use neon eclipse for android developer with gradle integration. Also, I use gradle plugin (com.github.ginvavilon:android-eclipse) for generating .project and .classpath for new structure of android project (src/main/java; src/main/res ...). Flavors and build types are supported. And use that project as gradle-project

Install Gradle:
a. http://gradle.org/gradle-download/ b. Choose 2.1 from previous releases section. c. Unzip at convenient folder.(Ex : D:\Graddle\gradle-2.1) d. Set system environment variables. i. GRADLE_HOME as D:\Graddle\gradle-2.1) ii. GRADLE_OPTS as -XX:MaxPermSize=512m iii. %GRADLE_HOME%\bin to Path iv. Set ANDROID_HOME ( Ex: D:\android-sdk) v. Append “%ANDROID_HOME %\platform-tools” to path.

e. Open command prompt and check gradle is set. May use gradle -version to check.

Install Gradle eclipse PlugIn: a. Launch Eclipse b. Help > Eclipse Market Place c. Search “gradle” d. In that choose “Nodeeclipse/enide” e. Select all listed, accept & install. f. Restart eclipse once installed.

Alternate JAVA_HOME to use is set ( Ex : C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_60) iii. JVM options for GRADLE_OPTS is set to “-XX:MaxPermSize=512m”
Build the Project: a. Expand PhoneDishAnywhere in eclipse Java explorer. b. Right click on build.gradle c. Run As > Gradle GUI d. Comand Line : gradle clean build e. Wait for build to complete : First time build will take several minutes. f. If Build dex error or Java heap space error : i. Open build.gradle in editor. ii. Set appropriate javaMaxHeapSize based on your java (javaMaxHeapSize=1024M for 32bit Java,2048M for 64bit Java) iii. May comment signing (//apply from: "$rootProject.projectDir/jenkins_config/gradle/signing.gradle";) to avoid signing for debug build. iv. Build again after these fixes.
