I've been working on a simple java annotation processor that extends AbstractProcessor
.
I've been able to successfully test this using javac -Processor MyProcessor mySource.java
The problem is integrating this into a simple Hello World android application using Android Studio.
I started by making a new Android Project, and then adding a separate module where I place all my annotation processor code (the MyProcessor class as well as the custom annotation it uses).
I then added this new module as a dependency of the HelloWorld android project.
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile project(':MyProcessorModule')
}
How do I then use the processor to generate code based on all the source files in the HelloWorld application?
there's a plugin to make it work. It works perfectly with modules that are on Maven, not sure about local .jar files, but you sure give it a try:
here the plugin page: https://bitbucket.org/hvisser/android-apt
and here my build.gradle with it:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
... add this classpath to your buildscript dependencies
classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.4'
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt' << apply the plugin after the android plugin
dependencies {
// in dependencies you call it
apt 'com.company.myAnnotation:plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT'
compile 'com.company.myAnnotation:api:1.0-SNAPSHOT'
and it should work.
