Creating a gradle based android project via command line

Question

I need to use a low end machine for android dev. I successfully created a test project using the command line:

   android create project --target <target-id> --name MyFirstApp \
   --path <path-to-workspace>/MyFirstApp --activity MyActivity \
   --package com.example.myfirstapp

However I see that it does not create any gradle files and the structure seems different that when I create a project in Studio. How do I create a project from the command line so that it includes the build.gradle files as well? Currently I do see a build.xml file that must be ant but I haven't used ant before.

Answer 1

Use the -g option when creating the project. For more details, try

android create project -h
