AndroidStudio使用全新的构建系列—–Gradle。

这是官方为什么使用gradle 的理由：

  • Domain Specific Language (DSL) to describe and manipulate the build logic
  • Build files are Groovy based and allow mixing of declarative elements through the DSL and using code to manipulate the DSL elements to provide custom logic.
  • Built-in dependency management through Maven and/or Ivy.
  • Very flexible. Allows using best practices but doesn’t force its own way of doing things.
  • Plugins can expose their own DSL and their own API for build files to use.
  • Good Tooling API allowing IDE integration

在Ubuntu安装Gradle也是很简单。切记请勿使用apt-get安装Gradle。因为Ubuntu源的Gradle实在太旧。我用的搜狐的源，竟然是2011年。

下面是安装步骤：

  1. 在官网下载最新的Gradle版本。http://www.gradle.org/downloads
  2. 解压安装包到目录
  3. 打开环境文件

sudo nano /etc/profile

  1. 写入环境变量:

#GRADLE_HOME是Gradle的所在目录

GRADLE_HOME=/opt/gradle/gradle-1.4

export GRADLE_HOME

PATH=$GRADLE_HOME /bin :$PATH

export  PATH

  1. 环境变量生效source /etc/profile
  2. 检查结果

gradle -v
