Build Android Studio app via command line

Question

I want to build an Android Studio app (the Gradle build system), but I want to do this via the command line.

Answer 1

there are two build types to build your application using the Gradle build settings: one for debugging your application — debug — and one for building your final package for release — release mode.

Building in Debug Mode

• First Navigate to Android studio project Root folder using CMD

• run this command gradlew.bat assembleDebug

• Output window look like this

Build signed apk in Release Mode

• Edit the build.gradle file to build your project in release mode:

  android {
  ...
  defaultConfig { ... }
  signingConfigs {
      release {
          storeFile file("myreleasekey.keystore")
          storePassword "password"
          keyAlias "MyReleaseKey"
          keyPassword "password"
      }
  }
  buildTypes {
      release {
          ...
          signingConfig signingConfigs.release
      }
  }}
  

• run this command gradlew.bat assembleRelease

Done.Good Luck!
