Gradle构建未使用的依赖项

Question

When using Gradle as a build tool for Android Projects like normally, does Gradle always build everything from a given dependency, or does it only build the things inside the dependency that you are using, together with the dependencies that these things might have underneath ?

Does it skip building things that you are not using?

Answer 1

You have to build a gradle to fit that version of Android or to use api. I understand that it is not possible to omit the gradle build.

Answer 2

Yes , all code from a dependency is included in the build (.apk file).

Unless you turn on tools that minimize or remove unused files / classes / functions. For more on that subject: minimize code .
