gradle android ndk build -

i'm trying build cocos2dx c++ project on android using gradle (previously ant). want have 2 gradle tasks:

1) build c++ , java. found solution

task buildcpp(type: exec) {     commandline ... // command } tasks.withtype(javacompile) {     compiletask -> compiletask.dependson buildcpp } 

2) build java without cpp. how?

note. ant can define 2 targets:

<!-- build --> <target name="buildall"             description="build all: ndkbuild -> javac"             depends="setdebugflagtrue, ndkbuild, buildjavasigned"/>  <!-- build java --> <target name="buildjavasigned"         description="javac"         depends="setdebugflagfalse, clean, release"/> 

how can gradle? seems ant more flexible gradle..

hmm... think may want have more flexible solution, honest. gradle's usage of ndk not best , there ways add more flexibility native builds without losing other benefits of using gradle (such using supported ide android, of 6/30/2015, android studio).

i suggest following this tutorial, show how force gradle use android.mk file. these files allow far more flexibility utilizing modules can changed around way need them build. suggest compiling c++ library elsewhere .so files, can give little more room breath , debug problems.

this document explains various aspects of android.mk files can better understand how want build. there loads of options building , it's easier control.

good luck! hope helps.
