Gradle Avdl

Gradle Avdl is a gradle plugin that allows you to launch and stop Android Virtual Devices during your build.

The plugin is extensible and can support different Virtual device providers.

Usage

Add the plugin in your plugins block

plugins {
    id("com.geekorum.gradle.avdl") version "0.0.4"
}

Declare the different devices that your build may use

avdl {
    devices {
        register("my-first-device") {
            setup = your-provider-configuration-function {
                // configuration depending on your provider
            }
        }
        register("my-second-device") {
            setup = your-provider-configuration-function {
                // configuration depending on your provider
            }
        }
    }
}

Create tasks to use your devices

tasks.register<LaunchDeviceTask>("launchFirstDevice") {
    devices.set(listOf("my-first-device"))
}

tasks.register<StopDeviceTask>("stopAllDevices") {
    devices.set(listOf("my-first-device", "my-second-device"))
}

Virtual Device Providers API

To create a Virtual Device Provider for Gradle Avdl, you must implement the com.geekorum.gradle.avdl.DeviceProviderPlugin abstract class and provide an instance of DeviceSetupFunction so that users can call it in their [VirtualDeviceDefinition]

A DeviceSetupFunction takes a [VirtualDeviceDefinition] as receiver and returns a [DeviceSetup] instance. It can has many parameters. It can be implemented as a DSL to configure your virtual device.

Implementation of DeviceProviderPlugin must not be final. They can have injected Gradle services

An exemple of Virtual device provider is provided in the android-sdk subproject
