Level up your Android Build (en)
summary
A working Tinder‑for‑turtles app evolves into a multi‑module Gradle project that automates tests, linting and releases: the Gradle wrapper plus a tiny helper script gdub speeds commands, android-apt keeps annotation processors out of the APK, ProGuard shrinks code and resources, a Novoda android-command-plugin automates device actions, a core Java and a Groovy script module enable shared logic and exploratory scripts, Jenkins runs checks, and the build pipeline publishes variant APKs to GitHub and Google Play via gradle play publisher.
