How to change Gradle installation tasks

Question

I want to edit a gradle task named installDebug. Where is the task (or script) located? Maybe this script is in binary and I am not modifying this?

In fact, I want to start changing something for adb . Example. My task should contain:

• Run adb as "adb connect 192.168.1.2DUC555"
• Run the "debugInstall" gradient task, directly.
• Do something like adb, then open apk on my adb server.

What should I do: Change debugTask if possible? Or edit the build.grade file and create your own script task?

Answer 1

All tasks are located in the build.gradle script independently or in the plugin that is used at the beginning of the script.

installDebug is set as far as I remember the Android plugin. Each task consists of actions that are performed sequentially. Here is a place to start.

You can extend the action of adding a task to the beginning of the list of internal actions.

So:

 //this piece of code will run *adb connect* in the background installDebug.doFirst { def processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder(['adb', 'connnect', '192.168.1.2:5555']) processBuilder.start() } installDebug.doLast { //Do something, like - adb then open apk on my adb server.. } 

Here, two actions are added to the installDebug task. If you run gradle installDebug , the first action will be performed, then the task itself, and finally the second action that will be defined. This is all in general.

You can add the task to your build.gradle and call it on the command line. This is what I did:

adbConnect task (type: Exec) {
commandLine 'adb', 'connect', '192.168.200.92'
}

then i call gradle adbConnect connectedCheck but you can use gradle adbConnect debugInstall
