As in topic. Gradle require to set up plugin and there are times that it is mentioned to apply plugin: 'android', and other to apply plugin: 'com.android.application' .
What are the differenceres? Which one should be used ?
question from:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27342458/apply-plugin-android-or-apply-plugin-com-android-application
apply plugin: 'android' specifies that It's an Android project but it does not specify Its an Application or Library project. To make life easier you can tell gradle the type of project and indicate which plugin should be used. I recommend to use apply plugin: 'com.android.application if project is an app and apply plugin: 'com.android.library' if project is a lib. It helps gradle to compile project efficiently.
