How to retrieve path to ADB in build.gradle

Question

I trying to start application via gradle task.

task runDebug(dependsOn: [\'installDebug\', \'run\']) {
}

task run(type: Exec) {
comm         


        

Answer 1

The problem was solved.
The variable must contain

def adb = "$System.env.ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/adb"

And complete task looks like

task run(type: Exec) {
    def adb = "$System.env.ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/adb"
    commandLine "$adb", 'shell', 'am', 'start', '-n', 'com.example.myexample/.ui.SplashScreenActivity'
}

UPD
Another way without using ANDROID_HOME

task run(type: Exec) {
    def rootDir = project.rootDir
    def localProperties = new File(rootDir, "local.properties")
    if (localProperties.exists()) {
        Properties properties = new Properties()
        localProperties.withInputStream { 
            instr -> properties.load(instr)
        }
        def sdkDir = properties.getProperty('sdk.dir')
        def adb = "$sdkDir/platform-tools/adb"
        commandLine "$adb", 'shell', 'am', 'start', '-n', 'com.example.myexample/.ui.SplashScreenActivity'
    }
}
