A deprecated Gradle plugin that automatically downloads and manages the Android SDK, build tools, support repositories, and emulator components for Android builds. It was superseded by automatic dependency downloading in Android Gradle plugin 2.2.0+.
Use cases
- automatically download the Android SDK for a Gradle build
- set up Android SDK on CI machines without manual installation
- keep build tools and support libraries up to date across a team
- generate local.properties when ANDROID_HOME is missing
- download missing compile SDK API levels automatically
When to choose
- maintaining legacy Android projects pinned to old Android Gradle plugin versions (<2.2.0)
- CI environments on old toolchains that cannot pre-install the SDK
When to avoid
- any project using Android Gradle plugin 2.2.0 or newer, which handles this natively
- new projects seeking actively maintained tooling
