So I am trying to add the Android platform to a multiplatfor kotlinlang #multiplatform

So I am trying to add the Android platform to a multiplatform library using IntelliJ. Is there an example that shows the Gradle build script using Kotlin that someone would care to recommend? Gradle version is 5+ fwiw.

My first dilemma is in trying to come up with a version for the com.android.library plugin. Would that be the Android version, like 28.0.0? Second dilemma is the repository to use to access the plugin. Wouldn’t that be google()?

The

com.android.library

plugin version would be

3.3.2

if you want the latest stable version, or

3.4.x

3.5.x

if you’re using a beta or canary Android Studio. And yes,

google()

is the repository you want

Ildar’s link will give you more configuration hints

@thevery @russhwolf Sorry I did not get this across more clearly but the goal is to use a Kotlin script rather than a Groovy script. And IntelliJ rather than Android Studio.

IJ vs AS doesn't matter for build script

Here's an Android targetting only "multiplatform" library example that relies of the content of the

buildSrc

of that same project: https://github.com/LouisCAD/Splitties/blob/master/modules/toast/build.gradle.kts

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html has code samples in both Kotlin and Groovy if you need help translating.

@russhwolf this doc elides out the translation details much to my chagrin. 😞 However, the @louiscad Splitties repo does an excellent job showing the translations, but it took some digging to find them. Splitties is a great teaching resource.

I could do it only thanks to the doc Russell linked 🙂
