created issue #1

Apr 11, 2022 01:31PM

When creating a library component that uses @IntDef annotations in its public API, I am expecting that the annotations.zip is packaged inside that aar - from here, it states:

If you use annotations in your own library module, the annotations are included as part of the Android Archive (AAR) artifact in XML format in the annotations.zip file. Adding the support-annotations dependency does not introduce a dependency for any downstream users of your library.

However, this doesn't appear to be the case, and the build/intermediates/annotations_typedef_file/debug/typedefs.txt file is empty (I'm assuming this would contain something?) as is the build/intermediates/annotations_zip/debug/ dir.

I'm using AGP 7.0.3 with Gradle version 7.0.2 in Android Studio Bumblebee 2021.1.1. Patch 2.

(NOTE: I re-raised this ticket, as https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/227147440 was likely in too high-level a bucket. Apologies for the dupe.)

Looks like Jerome is OOO, so perhaps Ivan or Chris might be able to help triage this.
We are just hoping to identify the critical set of issues that need be fixed for AGP 8.0 Beta and this one is currently set as Beta blocking.

Yes, this is indeed something we should do in AGP 8.0 beta, both removing the BasePlugin.getExtension and moving plugins to gradle-api.

I've added a project here. I'm assuming that's visisble.

Thanks for the report, the problem comes from how we detect whether a source file contains typedef. The temporary work around is to import IntDef without using wildcard like this import androidx.annotation.*; instead use import androidx.annotation.IntDef;

Marked as fixed.

Thanks for looking at it, and providing a workaround (and fix!).
