What is the syntax for writing comments in build.gradle file?
Looking down this build.gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "package.myapp"
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.nineoldandroids:library:2.4.0'
}
What if I would like to write a comment on why did I chose this library for this project,
what is the syntax for writing comments in build.gradle file?
For Kotlin scripts (.kts files), it is the same as the regular Kotlin files:
// for single-line comment and /* */ for multi-line comments and /** */ for KDoc comments.

Easy:
// Single line comment
/*
Multi
line
comment
*/

Use the // or /* */
For example:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
/**
* Returns the credential username used by Namirial Maven repository
* Set this value in your ~/.gradle/gradle.properties with CREDENTIALS_USERNAME key
* @return
*/
def getCredentialsMavenUsername() {
return hasProperty('CREDENTIALS_USERNAME') ? CREDENTIALS_USERNAME : ""
}
Well that was quite odd, my Android Studio was not recognizing comment lines until I restarted it. Funny thing though it does not have any answers on the web.
