Gradle is a notoriously hard build tool to get to grips with. I struggled for a long time, never understanding the build script enough to do more than adding a simple dependency. Then I made a discovery that changed everything.
Once I share this insight with you, you'll gain a deep understanding of what the Gradle build script is and how what you write there interacts with Gradle. You'll have the tools to figure out for yourself what you can do in the build script, helping you work more effectively in your own projects.

I had the same realisation after being android developer for 2 years, not really understanding gradle, life changing. It made me actually realise that all new tech frameworks at the end of the day boil down to "programs" and "code" just different way of implementing it

"gradle build scripts are just code, and you know code", this is the best thing to hear

Coming from .NET, Gradle was pretty intimidating, but this video greatly diminished that. Thank you!

@arziofox 5 месяцев назад

Great video. I will be recommending it whenever someone have issues understanding the groovy syntax in a Gradle project

@mattchew2203 Год назад

Great content, you describe things in such a concise and understandable way. Appreciate you.

@KevinSheppard Год назад

I'm a pretty proficient Groovy developer, but what helped me a lot was actually browsing the API doc starting with the Project object. After that it was magic ✨

@HellCatLeMaudit Год назад

I had so much difficulty with gradle's inflexibility that I went back to using "make". I use "make" for my C++ projects anyway so it was a no-brainer.

@anonymousgamer2839 6 месяцев назад

even makefile may be easier for me, or even the notoriously difficult assembly I can understand. But not the horrible way of building an apk form gradle and I was searching it from past 2 years. There is no support added for android apk (it says applicaton and never output to apk) while doing gradle init There is no easy way to add a damn function in build.gradle file or I don't know how to add new task that builds an apk or it just impossible to build apk using gradle or some crappy tools like android studio must be used that is just a big bloat for me

Amazing video🔥🔥🔥

@driden1987 Год назад

This video is great! Would've loved this 2 years ago when I dived head first into java at work and had to deal with gradle all the time. Eventually, I found my way around this, not without having to read a bit of gradle code.

@ahadgulafridi01 Год назад

being a perfectionist i was not really satisfied by copy and pasting the different lines in build script. i just used to be so confused. you made life easy thank you!

Not gonna lie, what I first thought would be a clickbait video, actually turned out to be a crucial piece of wisdom I lacked. Thank you so much!

@LeoFuso 4 месяца назад

God tier video. I'm quite used to Gradle at this point, but I only actually understood what I was doing after trying to build a Plug-in. I encourage you all to try, it's pretty fun and you end up knowing a lot about Gradle in general. Including the Project object.

@salmaK20012 8 месяцев назад

You're a life saver!

@kitersrefuge7353 Год назад

Thanks Tom. Very nicely done. I am old enough to remember the first version of Gradle. At the time, with Maven (and Ant before that) it generated a lot of hope and promise as a replacement to the latter. Unfortunately, that promise never got realized...as the authors mindest imo was/is? convoluted...imagine our disappointment in _actually wishing for Maven back! However, never say never, and your video is a stepping stone to proving myself as being an old fuddy duddy ;=)

@vvanchesa 6 месяцев назад

As someone (relative) new to java and I just saw a bunch of gradle-scripts I never created one by my own. Seeing a gradle-script as code and not as a config file, was the missing link for me. Until today I always tried to see the syntax like a kind of YML file. Thanks for making this short video.

I'm 1 min into the video and the moment you mention that gradle build script is just code is the insight, it also made me feel confident. For some reason it doesn't feel like so at first sight but you're right. Thank you Tom for helping out this newbie. Subscribed! ❤

@jonathankee9322 Год назад

3:48 was my same reaction looking at {} syntax for Groovy or Kotlin for the first time hahaha, it's was weird because I only know Java

@aparfeno Год назад

Awesome video! Another reason why gradle is so hard is gradle's documentation. It is AWFUL. It is both prolific and completely useless, only serving to make the reader feel confused and stupid. Your 5 min video is all a gradle newbie needs because, as you point out, we ARE developers. Thank you again!

@mhdunknown 11 месяцев назад

Yeah thinking about in a "it's just code written declaratively with a bunch of callbacks" does open my "third eye" kinda lol. Btw, anyone else on Android Studio notice that Groovy DSL gradle doesn't actually show any documentation when you hover over its method? My jaw dropped when I saw the docs in the youtube video, that never appeared to me, not sure if it's an Android Studio bug or maybe I misconfigured the IDE somehow.

@rebok232 8 месяцев назад

I was using intelj templates, until i wanted to have an gradle task to show me updates, that's how i started learning gradle, as an kotlin user, it was kinda easy to learn gradle, cause i'm using gradle kotlin dsl

@aliceb.8615 Год назад

Such wonderful acting 😄 But seriously, great job editing and making an easy-to-understand video! Title's super click-batey, but I guess if it works why not use it :shrug:

@sohpol Год назад

I don't know about you, but even if I didn't know that simple secret, I'd still love Gradle.... BECAUSE IT'S NOT XML! ;)

@build-things Год назад

Insightful video. I still think gradle has possibly the worst documentation iv ever tried to read though

@halotroop2288 10 месяцев назад

If only the IDE integration actually worked most of the time... In reality you usually get countless warnings that can't be solved and method references that can't be CTRL+Clicked, because they come from a plugin, and the plugin often isn't on the recognized classpath.

@halotroop2288 10 месяцев назад

I like this video. I hope you have more videos about Gradle because I really need to learn more for my power-user development antics.

@craigstadlock Год назад

TL;DR.. Gradle is code (duh) and read the Gradle docs. How about mabybe explaning why this might be useful, like making reusable helper functions in your script.
