Summary

We started the chapter by looking at what Gradle is and how it is important in project development. We briefly looked at the Android Studio setup and how it can help in building the system along with Gradle. After the introduction, we talked about how developers can set up Gradle in Android Studio. We also created a new project in Android and discussed how Gradle libraries can be added to the project.

In Chapter 2, Exploring Android Studio Developer Tools we will discuss some of the key developer tools in Android Studio.
