Gradle and Multi-Project structure

Question

I\'m trying to understand how should I approach the following project setup:

┌Top Android Project
│
├── Project 1 - (Pure Java Modules)
│    │
│    ├── Modul         


        

Answer 1

If you have folders matching that structure you can apply the same build logic to multiple projects.

If your settings.gradle contains

include ':project2:moduleA2'

then ':project2' is also a project, and it can have its own build.gradle, in which you can write:

subprojects { project ->
    apply plugin 'android-library'

    // more configuration
}

If you don't apply any plugin to ':project2' itself then this project simply won't output anything (which is probably what you want) but that way you can configure all its sub-project in a simple go.

Then you can also have all your submodule put some logic that's specific to them

You can also technically do that in project2/build.gradle if you want to keep it all in the same file. You can read http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/multi_project_builds.html to see how to configure subprojects from a parent build.gradle file, accessing either all subprojects or a specific one, or using filtering.
