Gradle Tutorial - Crash Course

[@Dragonyy-sb51]

Have decent experience in Python, had to switch to Java because of a school project. I heard that building java applications absolutely sucked and managing it was weird, so I installed Gradle. This video helped me figure it out pretty well, thank you.

[@yohannestz9893]

I have been using gradle for a long time. but I didn't deep dive into it to know how things work. thanks for taking your time to put this good material.

[@MarcoCodes]

Glad it was helpful!

[@akhiljaiswal9468]

This is the only video which I found to cover gradle concepts mostly used in real-time projects in enterprise world. Thanks a Ton, Marco! this video was really helpful.

[@soundaryar459]

Exactly what I was looking for. Also, that humour (just the right amount, not too much and not on your face) just makes this all the better 😭

[@VikashSharmaVS]

watched so many videos, but never understood Gradle they way you did, thank you so much! God bless you.

[@MrRecorder1]

Jeez, thank you. This were enough information to get me started. Android Studio generated the enigma of the grandle-build toolchain for me. I did not really know what happened or where to look things up... now this is way more clear. Thank you!

[@rafaeel731]

This is one of the best and most efficient videos about Gradle with Groovy. If only it included Kotlin too. Other videos, despite being newer, teach obsolete Groovy syntax. Thanks.

[@MarcoCodes]

Thanks!

[@m_account]

Great course. Your videos are always the right blend of information and fun. Looking forward to the next part.

[@AdekunleLawal]

Always thought Gradle was hard until i watched your video. Thanks a bunch 🙏🏽. Also love your presentation style.

[@VanshitaGupta-pj6bo]

Best compact version of all the major information regrading gradle- saved a lot of tym..thanks!

[@MarcoCodes]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@burak4716]

Amazing crash course. Thank you Marco

[@quasa0]

This was a great video. Coming from C++ / Python, more recently Go / Java background, preparing a coding assignment in Kotlin with Gradle for my new job. Watched the video on 1.5x, great and exactly what I wanted.

[@shreyagarwal6828]

Thank You Marco for taking out your time and explaining things so well. I am grateful 🙏🏻.

Thanks Marco, for the wonderful demo! I am just getting started with Gradle and this really helped. On a separate note, I am a bit curious on how to enable the command prompter and color codes in Windows Cmd prompt. Would be great if you could with that too. 😊

Hey Marco, great video ! I'm interested in the follow up video. I just inherited a behemoth that used gradle and I'm a newb. I also have a build.gradle in my root project, not sure what it's supposed to accomplish though 😅

[@MarcoCodes]

Thank you driden! The next Gradle video will have to wait a while though, a couple of others will follow first :) Is the build.gradle empt yin the root project? Or some general settings that get inherited across submodules?

[@divyaagrawal810]

Thank you for this!

Great vid!

[@Basirafeef]

thanks for sharing great knowledge sir. sir i created an app for multiple people from the same source with different name, themes, and server. the problem is when i update one i need to update others too. is there a why to create multiple apps from the same source with different name, themes, server and google's .json configuration file from one project with different source sets. thanks.

[@MarcoCodes]

Impossible to give an answer without knowing your project in detail.

[@Basirafeef]

@@MarcoCodes thanks for reply sir, i have a sample app and i want to build other multiple apps from the same code base for other customers with app name , theme, server etc changes. is it possible with gradle to set applicationId, sourceSet and add google's .json configuration file.? sir, i want to create different flavors of my app for different customers with different app name, theme and different google admobe. thanks

[@Basirafeef]

the problem is when i update customer 1 app i need to update others to with the same change.

Hey NavinKumar, I was pretty sure I replied to another comment of yours that has been deleted meanwhile? About Clink etc?

[@red2n]

@@MarcoCodes yes i have added the comment but i dont know who deleted it. i was waiting for your reply but looks like that comment is deleted i dont know who did that. any way hope you got my message. I have started learning JAVA so i need some useful resource from people like you. and project related video should be use full to peoples like us. any way you are rocking and keep the pace.

great video marco, when will the follow-up video be released?

[@MarcoCodes]

Not sure yet

[@masterten8599]

I am using flutter with vscode and it want me to use gradle init but i don't see a flutter option as one of them

when do you plan to release the follow up video on gradle?

Not planned in the next quarter:(

hey, great explanation. could you attach link to next video please.

[@domasklimavicius3907]

Hey, amazing video! Is there another gradle video coming?

[@MarcoCodes]

Hey Domas, not planned at the moment. What specifically would you like to learn about in a follow-up?

[@sagaryedireswarapu]

@@MarcoCodes Would like to see about the most modern version of a gradle file and cleanups, that you mentioned around 18:20. Thanks for this Amazing video!

[@ansbiq012]

What are your video making tools ? Amazing videos. Could you tell me what screen recorder, web cam recorder do you use for making these videos? I want to try them. Thanks.

[@MarcoCodes]

Hey. I'm mostly using Camtasia to record. The specific make of the camera etc actually don't really matter at the beginning, any good webcam/camera will do, though I'm using a Sony ZV-1.

[@michelchaghoury9629]

What happened to the rest of the promissed Gradle videos you mentioned you will do

[@MarcoCodes]

Not enough demand for them, for now, so they got pushed further down the backlog.

[@filipemelo1408]

I hope this course is good, because I came from C# where I was used with easy life and Visual studio hehe

[@venkatvikram8241]

hey Marco, I'm having an error saying "settings.gradle" could not be compiled

[@venkatvikram8241]

nevermind, I had a version mismatch which caused the error

[@Jod4light]

Another great video Marco! Just one point, when I clone the git repo and run "gradlew build" and then "gradlew test", the index.html file is missing. I have just "my-webapp/build/test-results/test/binary/" folder with empty files.

[@MarcoCodes]

Hey, so, first of all running either gradlew test or gradlew build is enough, because build includes test like shown in the video. And then you'll find the report in "my-webapp/build/reports/.." I'll quickly have to double check what the video says :D Thanks!

[@marcobehler1395]

@@MarcoCodes The video also shows "build/reports". Try that out and see if the index.html file is there :)

@Marco Is it possible to debug build.gradle ?

[@MarcoCodes]

See stackoverflow.com/questions/28437636/how-to-debug-a-gradle-build-gradle-file-in-a-debugger-with-breakpoints

[@jim0_o]

This video is missing the part where you explain building a project that doesn't come with the gradlew(.bat) file and folder, where you need to install gradle (add its bin folder to your environment variables) and run "gradle build" (from the folder with the settings.gradle((I assume since its unique while there can be more build.gradle files [it was the first path I tried and it worked]))) this video got me half way there (the rest was a different video and then some guess-work).

[@MarcoCodes]

Hey Jim! It's basically covered at 18:40, where I show how to use package managers to install Gradle - even though the manual way you described also works just fine. That being said, Gradle projects without wrappers are somewhat in the minority nowadays.

[@zzzzzzzzzzsh]

Thanks for yor great explanation! Even though your explanation is very clear and simple, I think maven is too simple to understand and to quickly get started with compared to gradle. It might because I have worked with maven alot then try to map things to Gradle 😬

[@MarcoCodes]

I actually think along similar lines. The thing is, Gradle is _super_ powerful, but just a few people I know put in the time and effort to really learn and understand it - as opposed to copy & pasting random Stackoverflow snippets. With Maven, you cannot shoot yourself in the foot that easily.

[@zzzzzzzzzzsh]

@@MarcoCodes Agree with you! I think Maven can't let you shoot yourself in the foot because of thr power of the Xml as there is that schema which puts validation and constraints in how you configure the maven settings. As you said Gradle is very powerful for advanced thing, it gives you more flexibility and that flexibility comes with a cost!

[@jopadjr]

Can you do a video tutorial on ODFDOM for java

Really good Tutorial. But I've never seen someone navigating files and cat files in the WINDOWS command line 😅

so, why do you recommend kotlin over groovy?
