Can you deploy to a device via Gradle from the command line

Question

What the question says really - can you issue any commands directly to gradlew via the command line to build, package and deploy to a device?

Answer 1

There are three commands to accomplish this:

1. ./gradlew assembleDebug #To build the project

2. adb install -r ./app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk #To install it to the device

3. adb shell am start -n $PACKAGE/$PACKAGE.$ACTIVITY #To launch the application in the device, where $PACKAGE is the development package and $ACTIVITY is the activity to be launched (the launcher activity).

I've been writing a bash script to do this, with other few features.
