Redex Plugin

A Gradle plugin that allows you to use Facebook's Redex tool as part of your build process

Usage

Add the following to your build.gradle:

buildscript {

  repositories {

jcenter()
  
}

  dependencies {

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0'

classpath 'au.com.timmutton:redex:1.5.0'
  
}
 
}
  apply plugin: 'com.android.application' apply plugin: 'redex'  // Optional: configure redex arguments // These are example arguments, fill them with your specific arguments redex {

  // see github.com/facebook/redex/blob/stable/config/default.config
  configFile = new File('redex.config')

// 'latest' downloads the most recent release of redex (recommended)
  // `null` does not download redex at all. Assumes `redex` is in PATH
  // Any other version string will download that specific version of redex
  // from github.com/facebook/redex/releases/tag/<version>
  version = 'latest'

// `passes` is shorthand for a pass list instead of a config file
  // passes = ['ReBindRefsPass', ..., 'ShortenSrcStringsPass']

proguardConfigFiles = [new File('common_proguard.pro'),

 new File('my_app_proguard.pro')]
  proguardMapFile = new File('proguard_map.txt')
  keepFile = new File('keep.txt')

jarFiles = [new File('lib1.jar'), new File('lib2.jar')]
  otherArgs = '' // any other command line options to `redex`

// see `redex --help` for details on these arguments 
}
 

If you do not set the passes or the config file, the default set of passes will be run. Sometimes you may not want to run all optimisation passes, for example some appear to break when optimising kotlin code.

If you specified a signing configuration for the given build type, this plugin will use that configuration to re-sign the application (Redex normally un-signs the apk).
