Declarative Android-based projects

This explores ideas with a simpler DSL to configure applications and libraries written for Android.

All configuration is moved under a new androidApplication block.

Example

Gradle needs to run with Java 17.

Open the project in android. The testbed subproject uses the new DSL.

The new DSL demonstrates several ideas: - dependencies {} in the androidApplication block that are limited to only the scopes applicable to the application. - targets {} for configuring specific Android variants - top-level properties backed by Providers (like namespace) - sources {} for configuring the location of source files
