Run task before compilation using Android Gradle plugin

by

Apparently, the android plugin doesn’t add a compileJava task (like the java plugin would). You can check which tasks are available with gradle tasks --all, and pick the right one for your (otherwise correct) dependency declaration.

EDIT:

Apparently, the android plugin defers creation of tasks in such a way that they can’t be accessed eagerly as usual. One way to overcome this problem is to defer access until the end of the configuration phase:

gradle.projectsEvaluated {
    compileJava.dependsOn(generateSources)
}

Chances are that there is a more idiomatic way to solve your use case, but quickly browsing the Android plugin docs I couldn’t find one.
