Gradle Rules

Status: accepted
Date: 2021-06-22

Context and Problem Statement

Number of module count has been increased our build times. Enabling unused plugins and using gradle.kts is causing to longer build times.

Decision

Disable generating BuildConfig file if its not needed in module.
Only enable databinding if you're going to use DataBinding in that module.
Do not apply kapt plugin if you're not going to use.
Do not create new variants other than debug and release.
Use groovy scripts on build.gradle files.

Sample

android {
	buildFeatures {
	    dataBinding = false
		buildConfig = false  
	}
}
