Check if project is a library project

[Csaba Kozák]

We are writing an annotation processor and we want to know the currently processed project is a library project or not.

In the old ways, we could just parse the project.properties file.

Is there a way to get this information in case of Gradle builds (without parsing the whole build script)?

Thanks, in advance!

You can imagine a build.gradle file with the following code:

if (new Random().nextInt() > 42) {
    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
} else {
    apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
}

so there's no reliable way to check, unless you are being invoked by a Gradle task and the task passes that information to you somehow.

HTH,

Michal

Hey,

Thanks for the answer. Actually the annotation processor runs after the Gradle Android plugin generated resources etc.

So basically i am asking whether is there an indicator file which the plugin generates and we can check.

Like we are already using the full manifest generated by the Android Gradle plugin.
