Release Notes

bazelbuild/rules_android (rules_android)

v0.8.0

Release summary

We’ve cleaned up legacy Android flags in native Bazel and ported them to rules_android. These changes will take effect in rules_android 0.8.0+ and Bazel 10+.

Android Configuration Flag Starlarkification

We’ve refactored the rule implementations to no longer read from the Bazel Android configuration fragment and instead obtain that information directly from new Starlark flags in rules_android. We’ve added flag_alias()es to rules_android’s MODULE file such that existing uses of relevant Android configuration flags will still work seamlessly.

Android Execution Strategy Flags

The legacy Bazel flags to control Android build execution strategy could not be Starlarkified, and their respective behaviors instead are expressed in the form of many --modify_execution_info flags in android_persistent_workers.bazelrc. We encourage you to copy this file into your project to avoid having to manually specify a large number of execution info flags.

If you relied on e.g. --persistent_android_dex_desugar before, you can activate that behavior with the equivalent --config=persistent_android_dex_desugar after importing the worker bazelrc.

Deprecated Flags

We deprecated around 30 obsolete or no-op native Android flags from Bazel. These should be removed from bazelrc files, scripts, and build invocations in general.

Usage

Using Bzlmod with Bazel 6 or greater

1. (Bazel 6 only) Enable with common --enable_bzlmod in .bazelrc.
2. Add to your MODULE.bazel file:

# See examples/basicapp/MODULE.bazel.
bazel_dep(name = "rules_android", version = "0.8.0")
remote_android_extensions = use_extension(
    "@rules_android//bzlmod_extensions:android_extensions.bzl",
    "remote_android_tools_extensions")
use_repo(remote_android_extensions, "android_tools")

android_sdk_repository_extension = use_extension("@rules_android//rules/android_sdk_repository:rule.bzl", "android_sdk_repository_extension")
use_repo(android_sdk_repository_extension, "androidsdk")

register_toolchains("@androidsdk//:sdk-toolchain", "@androidsdk//:all")
