The new experimental gradle plugin for Android
The new experimental plugin is based on Gradle’s new component model mechanism, while allows significant reduction in configuration time. It also includes NDK integration for building JNI applications.
The user guide provides details on how to use it and highlights the difference between the new plugin and the original plugin.
Note that this is plugin is at the experimental stage. The Gradle API for the new component model is not final, which means it’ll only work with a specific version of Gradle until the APIs are final.
