How to declare a task that depends on other task?


You can declare tasks that depend on other tasks. All you need to do is, use dependsOn keyword to declare dependent tasks. The dependent tasks will be executed first before executing requested task. Look at below example, how we have declared build task dependency with test task:

task test << {
        println 'i am a test task'
}
task build(dependsOn: test) << {
        println "i am build depends on test"
}

Run command gradle build on command-line:

java2novice$ gradle build
:test
i am a test task
:build
i am build depends on test

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

How to declare if your task depends on multiple tasks? It's simple, you can declare multiple tasks seperated by comma, and enclosed with in '[]', here is an example how to declare multiple dependencies:

task clean << {
        println 'i am a clean task'
}
task test << {
        println 'i am a test task'
}
task build(dependsOn: [clean, test]) << {
        println "i am build depends on test"
}

Run command gradle build on command-line:

java2novice$ gradle build
:clean
i am a clean task

Knowledge Centre
String Vs StringBuffer
We know that String is immutable object. We can not change the value of a String object once it is initiated. If we try to change the value of the existing String object then it creates new object rather than changing the value of the existing object. So incase, we are going to do more modificatios on String, then use StringBuffer. StringBuffer updates the existing objects value, rather creating new object.
