Drive2Android-Gradle

Drive2Android is a gradle plugin that allows to import and export the strings directly from Google Drive to an Android project. This plugin support many languages.

Setup

In the gradle of your application (app/build.gradle), add the followings line at the top of the file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.geronimostudios.drive2android:drive2android:0.2'
    }
}

apply plugin: "com.geronimostudios.drive2android"

Then create a credentials on the Google Developers Console, please follow the step 1 of this tutorial : https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/quickstart/java#step_1_turn_on_the_api_name

Once you have your client_secret.json, add the followings line somewhere in your app gradle:

drive2android {
    fileId = 'PUT_YOUR_GOOGLE_DRIVE_FILE_ID_HERE'
    clientSecret = '/client_secret.json'
    resPath = '/src/main/res'
    stringFileName = 'strings.xml'
}

fileId: you can get the file Id in your spreadsheet's URL.

clientSecret is the path to your client_secret.json.

resPath is the path to your res folder. This value is optional and may not be changed.

stringFileName is the name of the file that will be searched in every folder (that starts with values) located under resPath. This value is optional and may not be changed.

Your Google spreadsheet must be formatted like this: The first column's header must contains the value 'key'. Then each header contains the name of the folder under wich the strings will be added. Ex: the strings under the header 'values' will be imported into values/strings.xml

How to use

./gradlew importStrings
./gradlew exportStrings

importStrings Takes all strings from google drive and override the local ones.

exportStrings Export the strings that are not already on Google Drive (the new ones only).

You can also use

./gradlew import
./gradlew export

Coming soon

stringFileName will support an array of filename.
