Jetpack Release Tracker - Project Sync

Project Sync gives you the ability to track the versions of the androidx.* libraries used in your Android projects.

  • know when a newer library version is available
  • for each of your projects, decide whether to track stable or pre-release versions

Set Up

First you will need to configure your app's build.gradle to produce a text file that will have a list of your app's gradle dependencies. Put the following snippet inside the android{} block of your app's build.gradle file

    task generateDependencyListFile {
        configurations.implementation.setCanBeResolved(true)
        configurations.androidTestImplementation.setCanBeResolved(true)

        doLast {
            def str = "# auto-generated from ${this.name}; this file should be checked into version control\n"
            def resolvedImplementationConfig = configurations.implementation.resolvedConfiguration
            def resolvedAndroidTestImplementationConfig = configurations.androidTestImplementation.resolvedConfiguration

            resolvedImplementationConfig.firstLevelModuleDependencies.each { dep ->
                str += "${dep.moduleGroup}:${dep.moduleName}:${dep.moduleVersion}\n"
            }

            resolvedAndroidTestImplementationConfig.firstLevelModuleDependencies.each { dep ->
                str += "${dep.moduleGroup}:${dep.moduleName}:${dep.moduleVersion}\n"
            }

            new File(projectDir, "deps.list.txt").text = str
        }
    }

    preBuild.dependsOn(generateDependencyListFile)

note: You may need to update this snippet to suite your project.

Once you have included the snippet and rebuilt the app, there should be a new text file in the app's root directory with a list of your app's dependencies, like for example:

# auto-generated from app; this file should be checked into version control
androidx.databinding:databinding-common:3.6.3
androidx.databinding:databinding-runtime:3.6.3
androidx.databinding:databinding-adapters:3.6.3

com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0

com.jakewharton.timber:timber:4.7.1
com.vdurmont:semver4j:3.1.0
br.com.simplepass:loading-button-android:2.2.0
androidx.vectordrawable:vectordrawable:1.1.0
org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:1.3.0
org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.3.0

That's it, you should now check the file into version control and/or host it publicly to allow tracking it in Jetpack Release Tracker
