Open Source Groovy Mobile Software

This now-deprecated Gradle plugin enabled the use of the Groovy programming language in Android applications and libraries. It provided support for Groovy source files within Android projects, though it’s officially deprecated in favor of Kotlin and has ceased working with Gradle 6.0 and above. This plugin has been successfully tested with Android Studio and will make no attempts to add support for other IDEs. This plugin will let you write an application in Groovy but it is recommended, for performance, memory and battery life, that you use @CompileStatic wherever possible. In order to include libraries written in groovy that include the groovy or groovy-all jars, you will need to exclude the groovy dependency allowing the grooid jar to be the one to be compiled against.

The gradle‑packer‑plugin is a Gradle plugin designed for Android builds, aimed at automating the "channel packaging" process—creating multiple APK variants for distribution channels quickly and efficiently. It supports automatic version number incrementing and handles manifest configurations for different markets. For scenarios with hundreds of channels, its successor, Packer‑Ng offers significantly faster packaging. Handles manifest mismatches and market file exceptions. Successor plugin (Packer‑Ng) enables rapid packaging even with 100+ channels in about 10 seconds.

AutoRegister is a Gradle plugin for Android that leverages bytecode instrumentation to automatically register components across modules—such as activities or services—eliminating manual registration and decoupling module dependencies. It’s compatible with frameworks like ARouter and CC for modular app architectures. Enhances modularity and supports loose coupling between modules. Uses bytecode instrumentation for automatic cross-module registration. Reduces boilerplate and manual registration code in Android apps. Apache-2.0 licensed and simple Gradle plugin integration.

This project provides a Gradle plugin that enables AspectJ weaving for Android builds—facilitating aspect-oriented programming in your Android apps. It supports .aj aspect files, annotation-style weaving, and integration with Kotlin, Groovy, AARs, and JARs. Works within standard Android Gradle build pipelines. Available via Gradle Plugins DSL for easy integration. Simplifies AOP implementation without manual weaving configuration. Supports both .aj files and annotation-based aspects.

The sdk-manager-plugin is a now‑deprecated Gradle plugin (by Jake Wharton) that automatically downloads and manages Android SDK components during Gradle builds. It was designed to reduce SDK installation friction but is obsolete due to built-in capabilities in newer Android Gradle Plugin versions. Your output likely will be different depending on the varying factors listed above. Subsequent runs will omit this output and proceed directly to normal execution. It currently takes about 100ms on average to check all of the above conditions. This cost is only paid when Gradle is setting up the model for the project. If you use the Gradle daemon or use Android Studio this only happens once.
