You create a build Gradle file in the root directory of your project. This file is typically named build.gradle
or build.gradle.kts
(for Kotlin DSL).
Here's a breakdown of where to create the file:
- Project Root Directory: This is the top-level directory of your project, containing all the source code, configuration files, and other project artifacts.
- File Name: The file should be named
build.gradle
for Groovy DSL orbuild.gradle.kts
for Kotlin DSL.
Example:
└── my-project
└── build.gradle
Practical Insights:
- The build Gradle file is crucial for managing your project's dependencies, tasks, and configurations.
- It defines how your project is built, packaged, and deployed.
- It provides a central location for managing your project's build process.
