Specifies the path where the Android SDK is located in the local file system.
Specifies the path where the JDK is located in the local file system.
Specifies whether or not we want the generated app's APK to be uploaded to the Cloud when using Deploy to Cloud.
The default value for this property is True.
Refer to Multidex Build property for more information.
Specifies additional flags that can be passed to Gradle (the build system used to compile Android).
This property is for advanced developers only and it is their responsibility its right usage.
By default has the following command
--deamon --parallel -Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx$(ALLOC_SIZE)m
Where $(ALLOC_SIZE) is 2048. To disable this behavior simply remove '--daemon' flag.

Flag |
Description |
| |
--deamon
|
Indicates the usage of gradle's daemon. This speeds up following builds significantly.
|
| |
--parallel |
Indicates to execute build task in parallel (i.e. compile mains projects in parallel). |
| |
-Dorg.gradle.jvmargs
|
Indicates the JVM arguments to be used by the daemon process.
Possible arguments can be found here.
In particular, '-Xmx2048m' sets the maximum amount of memory that is able to allocate for Gradle Daemon. Android's Gradle plugin will use a special option DexInProcess when Gradle's daemon VM has enough memory allocated to speed up its build time significantly.
Note: When the Multidex Build property is enabled, the amount of memory required to enable dexInProcess increases by 1GB (since this property modifies the javaMaxHeapSize default value).
As a consequence, when Multidex Build property is set to True, the $(ALLOC_SIZE) is set to 3GB. Otherwise, the value used is 2GB.
