Building Project Gradle

Annotation processor Gradle plugin

You can use the android-apt Gradle plugin to launch AndroidAnnotation processing. Here is a quick example of how to use it :

buildscript {
    repositories {
      mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        // replace with the current version of the Android plugin
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7+'
        // the latest version of the android-apt plugin
        classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.1'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'android'
apply plugin: 'android-apt'
def AAVersion = 'XXX'

dependencies {
    apt "org.androidannotations:androidannotations:$AAVersion"
    compile "org.androidannotations:androidannotations-api:$AAVersion"
}

apt {
    arguments {
        // you can set annotation processing options here
        logLevel TRACE
    }
}

AndroidAnnotations Gradle plugin

There is also a Gradle AndroidAnnotations Plugin to use AndroidAnnotations in Gradle project. This plugin generates output files based on annotations on compile; it also configures IDEA projects to use AndroidAnnotations.

Unfortunately this plugin seems to not be maintained anymore.

Instructions can be found in the plugin wiki.
