mikepenz/AboutLibraries v8.0.0-a01

on GitHub

• further split AboutLibraries into core and ui and definitions module
• by default the definitions module is no longer part of core, as it is meant to be replaced with the new gradle plugin
• support libs got hardcoded to version 28.0.0
• libraries are now described using the information resolved from the relevant POM files (their maven information)
• currently (subject to change) as soon as the gradle plugin is used, no libraries with embedded definition files, nor internal libraries are resolved (due to otherwise duplication)
  • before a stable release there will be some different settings for this, e.g. merge lib info from definition file, with library from gradle plugin, ...)
  • use the exclude version and the id from the gradle plugin to exclude libraries

Gradle Plugin

As a new feature of the AboutLibraries v8.x.y we offer a gradle plugin which will resolve the dependency during compilation, and only includes the libraries which are really specified as dependencies.

// Root build.gradle
maven {
    url uri('https://dl.bintray.com/mikepenz/gradle-plugins/') // TODO wait for approval in jCenter
}
classpath "com.mikepenz.aboutlibraries.plugin:aboutlibraries-plugin:0.1.1"

// App build.gradle
apply plugin: 'aboutlibraries-plugin'
