# GradleCopy
`GradleCopy` is a tool to copy Gradle caches to Android local "m2repository" directory which saves me from redownloading them repeatedly (again and again).

![Preview](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/top-master/GradleCopy/master/todo/preview.png)

## Usage Example
1. First, ensure you have `ANDROID_HOME` environment-variable, pointing to your Android-SDK directory.
2. Create the `init.gradle` file in your `%UserProfile%/.gradle` directory, and open it (in your prefered text-editor).
3. Then, simply copy below and paste in `init.gradle` file (replacing any previous content):

```groovy
def offlineRepoDir = "${System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME")}\\extras\\m2repository"
def repositoryClosure = {
    maven { url uri(offlineRepoDir) }
    // google()
    // mavenCentral()
}

rootProject {
    buildscript {
        ext.machineOfflineRepoDir = offlineRepoDir
    }
    allprojects {
        buildscript {
            repositories(repositoryClosure)
        }
        repositories(repositoryClosure)
    }
}

settingsEvaluated { settings ->
    settings.pluginManagement {
        buildscript {
            repositories(repositoryClosure)
        }
        repositories(repositoryClosure)
    }
}

```
4. Download `GradleCopy` if you didn't already, and launch it.
5. Uncheck the `Test Run` option (to skip listing what will be done).
6. At last, click the `Copy` button and done!
7. But sometimes Gradle only downloads `.pom` files, and fails to fetch related `.jar` files:

- To fix that Gradle will not even try to download related `.jar` files
      (as long as your offline repo contains related `.pom` file).

- First, click the "`Generate Missing Jar List`" option from the `Copy` button's dropdown menu.

- In the resulted window, click the "`Download`" button
      (which downloads what is missing, instead of relaying solely on Gradle).

- Then in the same [window][1], click "`Disable incomplete lib`" option from the `Download` button's dropdown menu
      (which renames any `.pom` file with no `.jar` file beside it, inside your offline `m2repository` directory only).

- Previous step (the rename) can be undone by clicking "`Restore incomplete lib`" option (from the same menu).

> **Note** that because some older packages are no longer available for download,
    > both of said downloading and renaming should be done.

**Platform:** broken `Windows`, but should also work for `MacOS` and `Linux` as well (once compiled).

**Note:**
All codes are based and meant to be `Apache 2.0` License but it does use the `Qt5` framework under the `LGPL` or `GPL` license, so if you rewrite this using another framework it is pure `Apache 2.0` License
