Gradle with Android

Gradle is a build service. While working with android, there are a lot of files in an app, each has to be compiled multiple times to build an apk, so it is too difficult to do all the work manually, so gradle simplifies the work by doing all the tasks automatically with a build script, which is time saving and effort saving.
