Skill: Android Gradle Build (tg-ws-proxy-android)

When to Use

Build the Android APK (debug or release) for the tg-ws-proxy-android project.

Requirements

• Working directory: project root (tg-ws-proxy-android/)
• JDK at: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr
• Gradle pre-installed (wrapper available)

WARNING — PowerShell Hang

PowerShell execution of Gradle can block forever if the Gradle daemon asks for interactive confirmation.

ALWAYS USE --no-daemon.

Debug Build

Command (PowerShell)

$env:JAVA_HOME = 'C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr'; .\gradlew.bat --no-daemon assembleDebug

Command (via cmd, guaranteed non-blocking)

cmd /c "set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr && gradlew.bat --no-daemon assembleDebug"

Output file

app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk

On success

Look for: BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Release Build

Command (PowerShell)

$env:JAVA_HOME = 'C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr'; .\gradlew.bat --no-daemon assembleRelease

Command (via cmd)

cmd /c "set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr && gradlew.bat --no-daemon assembleRelease"

Output file

app\build\outputs\apk\release\app-release.apk

On success

Look for: BUILD SUCCESSFUL

If Build Hangs / Times Out

1. Try with --no-daemon explicitly
2. If still hangs, use the .bat helper: .\build_debug.bat or .\build_release.bat
3. If still hangs, use the agent-safe wrapper: .\agent_build_debug.bat
4. As last resort, use cmd /c directly (the shell inside Windows cmd is non-interactive)

Copy APK to Release Name

After build, rename the APK for distribution:

Copy-Item "app\build\outputs\apk\release\app-release.apk" "app\build\outputs\apk\release\tg-ws-proxy-android-v$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy.MM.dd').apk"

Verify Build Output

ls app\build\outputs\apk\release\
# Should show: app-release.apk (and optionally renamed copy)
