Install gradle for using in cordova build android
android, build.gradle, cordova
Solution
I had figured out the reason: See the code `GradleBuilder.prototype.prepEnv` in $PROJECT_ROOT/platforms/android/cordova/lib/builders/GradleBuilder.js。
A quick fix :
export CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL=file:///local/path/to/gradle-2.4-all.zip
cordova run android
Notice:
- This will unzip to `$USER_HOME/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.4-all/5i28vc5j9c3ssbtreg4518ujvp/gradle-2.4` .
- `export` command must always be executed before run cordova.
If the network is slow, you download gradle-2.2.1-all.zip manually, then use this method once.
Also, you can change GradleBuilder.js's code or request a enhancement/issue.
Problem
