Using gradle to find dependency tree

Question

Is it possible to use gradle to produce a tree of what depends on what?

I have a project and would like to find out all the dependencies so I may be able to prune it

Answer 1

Often the complete testImplementation, implementation, and androidTestImplementation dependency graph is too much to examine together. If you merely want the implementation dependency graph you can use:

./gradlew app:dependencies --configuration implementation

Source: Gradle docs section 4.7.6

Note: compile has been deprecated in more recent versions of Gradle and in more recent versions you are advised to shift all of your compile dependencies to implementation. Please see this answer here

Answer 2

For me, it was simply one command

in build.gradle add plugin

apply plugin: 'project-report'

and then go to cmd and run following command

./gradlew htmlDependencyReport

This gives me an HTML report WOW Html report
