Gradle Commands

bash

# Compile Kotlin (required after any .kt file change)
./gradlew :app:compileDebugKotlin

# Build debug APK
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug

# Build release APK
./gradlew :app:assembleRelease

# Run tests
./gradlew :app:testDebugUnitTest

# Clean build
./gradlew clean

# Check dependencies
./gradlew :app:dependencies

Version Catalog

Dependencies are managed via Gradle Version Catalog:

File	Purpose
`gradle/libs.versions.toml`	Dependency version catalog
`app/build.gradle.kts`	App-level build config
`build.gradle.kts`	Root build config
`settings.gradle.kts`	Module settings
`gradle.properties`	Version info (0.0.1)

Adding a Dependency

•

Add to version catalog (gradle/libs.versions.toml):

toml

[versions]
newLib = "1.0.0"

[libraries]
new-lib = { group = "com.example", name = "lib", version.ref = "newLib" }

•

Add to build.gradle.kts:

kotlin

dependencies {
    implementation(libs.new.lib)
}

Key Dependencies

Dependency	Version	Purpose
Kotlin	2.0.21	Language
Compose BOM	2024.11+	UI Framework
Material 3	1.5.0-α8	Design System
Room	2.6.1	Database (FTS4)
Coroutines	1.7.3	Async
WorkManager	2.9.1	Background Work
Shizuku	13.1.5	Elevated Permissions

Shizuku Integration

Shizuku is used for elevated permissions (e.g., toggling Developer Options):

File	Purpose
`aidl/.../IUserService.aidl`	IPC interface definition
`UserService.kt`	Shizuku service impl
