android-aptlibs-gradle-plugin

Very easy way to add annotation processors to your andorid project.

aptlibs provide 3 predefined libs: android annotations, annotated sql, groundy.

ext.asVersion = '1.10.0'
ext.aaVersion = '3.0.1'
ext.groundyVersion = '1.5'

aptlibs {
	annotatedSql {
		version "${asVersion}"
	}

	groundy {
		version "${groundyVersion}"
	}

	androidAnnotations {
		version "${aaVersion}"
	}
}

unfortunately you still need to add annotations(without processor) to project dependecies

dependencies {
	compile "com.github.hamsterksu:android-annotatedsql-api:${asVersion}"
	compile "com.telly:groundy:${groundyVersion}"
	compile "org.androidannotations:androidannotations-api:${aaVersion}"
}

##additional gradle config:##

####add build dependecies####

buildscript {
	repositories {
		mavenCentral()
	}
	dependencies {
		classpath 'com.github.hamsterksu:android-aptlibs-gradle-plugin:1.2.0'
	}
}

####add plugin like####

apply plugin: 'android'
apply plugin: 'aptlibs'

##Add custom processor to aptlibs##

Sure every lib is optional.

Also you can add custom processor:

aptlibs {
	custom{
		customAndroidAnnotations {
			processors = ["com.googlecode.androidannotations.AndroidAnnotationProcessor"]
			groupId 'com.googlecode.androidannotations'
			artifactIdApt 'androidannotations'
			artifactIdLibrary 'androidannotations-api'
			version "${aaVersion}"

			customArgs { variant ->
				arg "-AandroidManifestFile", "${variant.processResources.manifestFile}"
			}
		}
	}
}

AndroidAnnotation - fix issue with new package name

So if you want to have different applicationId for different productFlavors you need to tune AA processor. you need to add -AresourcePackageName argument

aptlibs {
	androidAnnotations{
		version "${aaVersion}"

		customArgs { variant ->
			arg "-AandroidManifestFile", "${variant.processResources.manifestFile}"
			arg "-AresourcePackageName", <base(main flavour) package name here>
			arg "-AlogAppenderConsole", "true"
		}
	}
}
