Google is heavily proponing Android Studio, and all newcomers are using Studio despite the few bugs on canary versions. I also do not see the build tool problem - ANT has far more troubles then just bundling a gradle wrapper. Its self-contained, no need to set environment variables or other stuff. http://java.dzone.com/articles/use-gradle-wrapper-and-stop > Move Cordova-Android Build Setup to Gradle > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: CB-3445 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3445 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Android > Reporter: Joe Bowser > Priority: Minor > > Currently we're using ant for our setup, and our setup can break every time that the Android SDK updates and change its build.xml. However, the Android Team has created Gradle to be more robust such that it doesn't have the same problems as ant-based scripts. > This also has the advantage of using Android Studio for development instead of Eclipse, and the ability for us to bundle resources, which is something we haven't been able to do before. > Moving to Gradle has numerous advantages, but will break scripts, so this is to be moved in the post-3.0 timeframe. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
