How to Migrate build.gradle from Groovy to Kotlin DSL in Android Studio Bumblebee?

Question

I want to migrate build.gradle file from Groovy to Kotlin, since I updated my android studio to Bumblebee, I'm not sure how to do it.

This is how build.gradle looks when I create a new project.

I'm not sure on how to migrate plugins{} part.

buildscript {
    ext {
        compose_version = '1.0.1'
    }
}
plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '7.1.3' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '7.1.3' apply false
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.6.21' apply false
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm' version '1.6.21' apply false
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Answer 1

I got the answer in the documentation here https://developer.android.com/studio/build#kts .

Here's how it's written in Kotlin.

plugins {
    id("com.android.application") version "7.1.0-beta02" apply false
    id("com.android.library") version "7.1.0-beta02" apply false
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android") version "1.5.30" apply false
}

tasks.register("clean", Delete::class) {
    delete(rootProject.buildDir)
}

The following steps worked for me.

Step-1 : Create the plugins tag and give it the id values. delete the buildscript tag.

Step-2 : Open the pluginManagement tag in the settings.gradle file and make some tags and values.

Step-3 : In the last step, update the values defined at the top in the build.gradle file as id .

Optional : Since it is in the build.gradle file, it must be deleted.

    mavenCentral()
