摇篮。 如何在android app中编译前生成源代码

Question

In my android application I need to generate source code and use it in the app.
For that I created task genSources (using tutorials) for source generation. It works correctly if run it separately.

In my case I need to run source code generation automatically.

From tutorial I found out the following command:

compileJava.dependsOn(genSources)

but that is unknown command for the
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
gradle throws following exception:
Error:(35, 0) Could not find property 'compileJava' on project ':data'.

Looks like it can be used with apply plugin: 'Java'
but I cannot use these 2 plugins together

How can I solve this issue and generate needed source code before compilation?

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

configurations {pmd}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/"
        }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath group: 'net.sourceforge.fmpp', name: 'fmpp', version: '0.9.14'
    }

    ant.taskdef(name: 'fmpp', classname:'fmpp.tools.AntTask', classpath: buildscript.configurations.classpath.asPath)
}

task genSources << {
    println "Generating sources...."
    ant.fmpp configuration:"src/main/resources/codegen/config.fmpp",
            sourceRoot:"src/main/resources/codegen/templates",
            outputRoot:"target/generated-sources/main/java";
}
compileJava.dependsOn(genSources)
sourceSets {
    main {
        java {
            srcDir 'target/generated-sources/main/java'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    ...
}

UPDATED

I was found some solution which at least not throw exception

gradle.projectsEvaluated {
    compileJava.dependsOn(genSources)
}

Then I execute gradle build but nothing happens

With gradle 2.2+ this should work:

tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
    compileTask -> compileTask.dependsOn genSources
}

If you also want it to happen when you evaluate (eg when syncing your project with gradle in android studio) you can do it like this:

gradle.projectsEvaluated {
    preBuild.dependsOn genSources
}
