| You can open this sample inside a Android Studio IDE using the project importer.

This sample shows how a simple Android application written in Java can be built with Gradle. The application was created following the Build your first app guide.

app/build.gradle.kts

    plugins {
        id("com.android.application") version "8.3.0"
    }

    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()

        defaultConfig {
            applicationId = "org.gradle.samples"
            namespace = "org.gradle.samples"
            minSdk = 16

        }
        buildTypes {

                proguardFiles(getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro')
            }

        androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.2'
        androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.3.0'
    }

To build the application:

    $ ./gradlew build
