Each `android_apk` and `android_library` target produces a separate +Gradle sub-project. + +### Symlinks and .srcjars + +Gradle supports source directories but not source files. However, some +`java/src/` directories in Chromium are split amonst multiple GN targets. To +accomodate this, the script detects such targets and creates a `symlinked-java/` +directory to point gradle at. Be warned that creating new files from Android +Studio within these symlink-based projects will cause new files to be created in +the generated `symlinked-java/` rather than the source tree where you want it. + +*** note +** TLDR:** Always create new files outside of Android Studio. +*** + +Most generated .java files in GN are stored as `.srcjars`. Android Studio does +not have support for them, and so the generator script builds and extracts them +all to `extracted-srcjars/` subdirectories for each target that contains them. + +*** note +** TLDR:** Always re-generate project files when `.srcjars` change (this +includes `R.java`). +*** + +## Android Studio Tips + + * Configuration instructions can be found [here](http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/configuration).
