Something similar to Cocoa Pods and Bundler for Android (for dependencies)?

Question

is there anything similar to bundler (ruby) and cocoa pods (ios) for managing dependencies in Android?

Answer 1

Gradle + Maven Central seems to be the Android equivalent.

Answer 2

The maven-android plugin provides similar dependency management. If all of the dependencies are in Maven Central, a typically a simple mvn clean install will build your Android project.
