Gradle String Generator Plugin

The idea is to show how to create a gradle plugin which makes class generation in build time.

Let's say we have a strings.json under assets intead of strings.xml under res folder.

So we want to use our json like R.string.blabla, this project generates a R class for our custom json

Warning

This project uses local maven.

So at first there are no local maven plugin available for you. You need to do two things.

./gradlew publishToMavenLocal

Uncomment plugin lines inside build.gradle(:app)
