Can anybody help me with this question on SO? Appreciate your help, thanks.

I saw custom plugin usage with .kts here, maybe will help https://github.com/mars885/gamedge

[nuhkoca]

Thanks @solidogen! Seems this is a bit different and simplified version of what I am trying to do. However, will look more into that!

You can use something like configure<BaseExtension>{} instead of android {} . This is the non-generated-accessor equivalent

[mbonnin]

You'll need the Android Plugin in the buildscript classpath for that to work

[nuhkoca]

Hi Martin, thank you. I tried that but didn’t work, either. Please see the screenshots

[mbonnin]

Do you know where the android plugin gets applied? You might want to try wrapping everything in afterEvaluate {} . That might or might not work

[nuhkoca]

it is applied in `builSrc`’s build.gradle.kts

[mbonnin]

That's adding the android plugin to the buildscript classpath but not applying it per se, i.e. not calling Plugin.apply()

[nuhkoca]

I see, how can I apply the Gradle plugin using apply? Sorry this’ been beyond my knowledge a bit 😕

[mbonnin]

The usual way is to add to the plugins block:

plugins {
  id("com.android.library")
}

But looks like your setup is a bit different so it's hard to tell how to reproduce the exact same behaviour you had before

[nuhkoca]

ahh yes but my concern is to avoid applying this as I want android-defaults.gradle.kts to be common for both application and library scripts. However, I can create another scripts which apply android-defaults as well as com.android.library or com.android.application like so;

android-application.gradle.kts

plugin {
id("com.android.library")
id("android-defaults)
}

As far as I see, this doesn’t seem possible, right?

[mbonnin]

It is possible but you need to make sure to apply plugins in the right order

[mbonnin]

Or even better, "react" to plugins being applied. You can try something like:

fun configureAndroidExtension() {
    configure<BaseExtension> {
    }
  }
  plugins.withId("com.android.library") {
      configureAndroidExtension()
  }
  plugins.withId("com.android.application") {
    configureAndroidExtension()
  }

I see. I don’t want to take your time further here so I’ll push a sample repo to Github, would you take a look whenever you are available?

[mbonnin]

Can't really commit to that, tonight is Google IO so it's a big night :)

You can also look into https://github.com/bernaferrari/GradleKotlinConverter. I found it useful for Groovy -> Kotlin conversions

no worries take your time please, I am also gonna join I/O 🙂

Hi Martin, I fixed it. You were right, it was the order issue, now it is working. Thanks for your help! Only one more question 🙂 How can I apply another plugin in below script?

apply<LibraryCommonPlugin>()

configure<BaseExtension> {

    defaultConfig {
        ...
    }
}

I tried adding plugins block inside BaseExtension and configuring PluginDependencySpecs but those didn't work
