Setup

If you are using Gradle 2.1 or higher, you can add the SDK Builder plugin to your project build.gradle file:

plugins {
  id "com.liferay.mobile.sdk.builder" version "1.0.2"
}

If you are using an older version of Gradle or want to use it from a subproject:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven {
      url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
    }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "gradle.plugin.com.liferay.mobile:gradle-plugin:1.0.2"
  }
}

apply plugin: "com.liferay.mobile.sdk.builder"

Replace the version number 1.0.2 with the latest gradle-plugin version.

Run

The Gradle plugin adds a task called generate:

gradle generate

This will use the default properties for the plugin.

You can customize these properties by adding a builder closure, for example:

builder {
	url = "http://liferay.com"
	contexts = ['calendar-portlet']
	platforms = ['android']
	portalVersion = 62
}

Properties

The properties bellow can be set while running the generate task.

• contexts - Your portlet's web context. Say for example you are generating an SDK for Liferay's Calendar portlet, which is generally deployed to the calendar-portlet context, then you should set your context value to ['calendar-portlet']. You can set multiple contexts in this array, if you are generating for multiple portlets.

• platforms - By default, you can generate code for Android and iOS (['android', 'ios']).

• url - The URL to your Liferay instance, the SDK Builder will connect to this instance and find out metadata about your services. Default value is http://localhost:8080.

• portalVersion - The Liferay instance version you are using, it accepts either 62 or 7. Default value is 7.

• packageName - On Android, this is the package to which your SDK's classes are written. Default value is com.liferay.mobile.sdk.

• destination - This property refers to the destination folder where the generate source files will be stored. Default values is src/main/java.
