How to use it in Android with Gradle?

[guidobonerz]

Hi, I want to use your plugin in an Android App to communicate with an esp32 controller, but i'm struggling to set it up correctly.
Any hints on that?

Best regards
Guido

Hello,
unfortunately, there's no gradle plugin at the moment.
However, you can either use the Exec task to call maven within your gradle project or use a plugin that hides some of the platform specifics when calling maven, e.g. gradle-maven-exec-plugin

Good news, a gradle plugin is now on the roadmap. I keep you posted on how I'm progressing the coming days.

Hi, these are really good news.

Schöne Weihnachten :-)

Frohe Weihnachten! ;-)

I've published a first version of a Gradle plugin to the plugin portal. I'm now awaiting the final approval which should be granted within the next 24 hours.

You should then be able to add the plugin to your build using:

plugins {
  id('java')
  id('io.github.marc-christian-schulze.structs4java.structs4java-gradle-plugin') version '1.2.8'
}

By default, the plugin processes all struct files under src/main/structs, generates the Java code and automatically adds it to the Java or Android Java's source path for compilation.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues applying or using the plugin, especially within an Android project.

Plugin got approved and is available in Gradle Portal now.

Happy new year.
Ok, I will give it a try.
