Android new build system (gradle) and aspectj

Question

In Google IO the new build system gradle is announced to replace ant. My project is using aspectj and I would like to use it in my project. I couldn\'t figure out some variabl

Answer 1

I figured out that the AAR can not be used as a jar library in my code. If you are using dependencies like this

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.0'

You need to find the jar file and add to the classpath. The following code will do it.

tree = fileTree(dir: "${project.buildDir}/exploded-bundles", include: '**/classes.jar')
tree.each { jarFile ->
    iajcClasspath += ":" + jarFile
}

So the whole section would be:

variant.javaCompile.doLast {
    // Find the android.jar and add to iajc classpath
    def androidSdk = android.adbExe.parent + "/../platforms/" + android.compileSdkVersion + "/android.jar"
    println 'Android SDK android.jar path: ' + androidSdk

    def iajcClasspath = androidSdk + ":" + configurations.compile.asPath
    configurations.compile.dependencies.each { dep ->
        if(dep.hasProperty("dependencyProject")) {
            iajcClasspath += ":" + dep.dependencyProject.buildDir + "/bundles/release/classes.jar"
        }
    }

    // handle aar dependencies pulled in by gradle (Android support library and etc)
    tree = fileTree(dir: "${project.buildDir}/exploded-bundles", include: '**/classes.jar')
    tree.each { jarFile ->
        iajcClasspath += ":" + jarFile
    }
        println 'Classpath for iajc: ' + iajcClasspath

        ant.taskdef( resource:"org/aspectj/tools/ant/taskdefs/aspectjTaskdefs.properties", classpath: configurations.ajc.asPath)
