Android studio tips
Share module between projects
Add this to settings.gradle file at the project root:
include ':libraryName'
project(':libraryName').projectDir=new File('/path/to/library')
where the path you specify in the second line is the path to the directory containing the library’s build.gradle file. The path can be relative or absolute.
Avoid so file can not find problem
If library’s jniLibs contians armeabi-v7a folder, but main module’s jniLibs contains not, the app will crash because of so file could not found.
Problems after change sdk location
After change sdk loaction, android studio always fetching documentation from network even you have downloaded the documentation with sdk tools, and no longer auto attach the support library source code. To fix these problems, you should close the project and reopen it(not use Open Recent).
Incompatible type error occurs when compile
The compiler error output make no sense(An incompatible type error occurs at an import class line), maybe the real position of error is in BuildConfig.
Define String BuildConfig field in gradle
When define a String BuildConfig field in build.gradle file, make sure the field value is surrounded with quote, even the gradle variable type is String, otherwise the field type will wrong.
def fieldValue = "value"
...
buildConfigField "String", "FIELD_NAME", "\"${fieldValue}\""
