Parts of this definitely resonate with my experience; there's a reasonable amount of high-level documentation about fixing specific Android build issues, but nearly nothing describing how the system actually works. Lots of StackOverflow answers exist saying "add xyz to your build.gradle file" but there's a dearth of anything describing what the real build process for an Android app is. (For various reasons I didn't have to deal with a lot of the actual app coding, so the XML layout systems were less troubling to me than the author). > When I get the call from G’s android team to build a better buildsystem I can only hope that this is "when" and not "if" ;-) I can't believe the current system can't be improved upon though...
