How to integrate Gradle build system with other Android components?

To integrate the Gradle build system with various Android components, you can define project modules (like app, library, etc.) using the Gradle script. Gradle facilitates the configuration and management of dependencies, enabling smooth integration between different Android components such as Activities, Fragments, Services, and more.

Below is an example of a typical 'build.gradle' file for an Android application that integrates various components:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 31 defaultConfig { applicationId "com.example.myapplication" minSdkVersion 21 targetSdkVersion 31 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } } dependencies { implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1' implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0' implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.4' testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2' androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3' androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0' }
