Gradle plugin for resolving and downloading Android native dependencies (.so)

README

        

Overview
========
This Gradle plugin allows you to automatically *resolve and add* your native dependencies to `jniLibs` directory.

![screen shot 2014-04-10 at 15 29 40](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1793238/2668930/6969020e-c0bd-11e3-9116-ae879991e356.png)

Usage
=====
Apply the plugin in your `build.gradle` after the regular `android` plugin, then declare the list of your native dependencies.
```groovy
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
classpath 'com.nabilhachicha:android-native-dependencies:0.1.2'
}
}

apply plugin: 'android'
apply plugin: 'android-native-dependencies'

native_dependencies {
artifact 'com.snappydb:snappydb-native:0.2.+:armeabi'
artifact 'com.snappydb:snappydb-native:0.2.+:x86'
}

dependencies {
//regular Jar dependencies ...
}

```

Convention
==========

> The artifact DSL follows the naming convention for Maven artifacts.
> thus, you can use one of the following syntax:

- abbreviated *group:name:version[:classifier]*

```groovy
//adding x86 classifier will resolve only intel's (.so) lib
native_dependencies {
artifact 'com.snappydb:snappydb-native:0.2+:x86'
}

//omit the classifier will resolve all supported architectures
native_dependencies {
artifact 'com.snappydb:snappydb-native:0.2+'
}
```

- map-style notation

```groovy
//adding x86 classifier will resolve only intel's (.so) lib
native_dependencies {
artifact group: 'com.snappydb', name: 'snappydb-native', version: '0.2+', classifier: 'x86'
}

//omit the classifier will resolve all supported architectures
native_dependencies {
artifact group: 'com.snappydb', name: 'snappydb-native', version: '0.2+'
}
```

In both notations, *classifier* is optional. this means that when omitted, the plugin try to resolve the artifact for *all* architectures: `armeabi`, `armeabi-v7a`, `x86` and `mips`.

- Disable `lib` prefix:

You may want to disable the plugin from prefixing the resolved artifact with `lib` (when copying into **jniLibs** directory)
```groovy
native_dependencies {
artifact ('com.snappydb:snappydb-native:0.2.+:armeabi') {
addLibPrefixToArtifact=false
}
}
```
in this example the ARM dependency will have the name `snappydb-native.so` rather than `libsnappydb-native.so`

Tasks
=====

The plugin adds the `resolveNativeDependencies` task to your project, this task runs automatically whenever you build your project.
##### Note: #####
The plugin uses [Gradle incremental task](http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.incremental.IncrementalTaskInputs.html) system to run faster if the configuration didn't change since the last build.
