Gradle in Android Studio 3.2 and beyond
summary
Android Studio treats Gradle as the source of truth and lists concrete fixes: a single-variant sync that avoids resolving all variants (landed via Gradle 4.8 and in AS 3.3 canaries), a new tooling API hook to fetch models then run tasks (removes double Gradle invocation), a revamp of the project structure dialog with a full dependency graph, editable variables and quick updates, and a plan for module worksets that load only a few of 100+ modules as binaries to cut memory and sync time.
