<p>You can now build the release version of your application for distribution. To build it from Android

Studio:</p>

<ol>

    <li>Click <strong>Gradle</strong> on the right side of the IDE window.</li>

    <li>On the <em>All tasks</em> section of the sidebar that appears, expand

        <strong>BuildSystemExample</strong>.</li>

    <li>Expand <strong>:app</strong> and double-click <strong>assembleRelease</strong>.</li>

</ol>

<p>You can use this procedure to invoke any build task from Android Studio.</p>

<p>You can now use the <strong>Build</strong> menu options to build the release version of your

application for distribution. </p>

<p>The build generates an APK for each build variant:

the <code>app/build/apk/</code> directory contains packages named

<li>fullRelease</li>

</ul>

<p>To build this example, invoke the <code>assemble</code> task from Android Studio or from the

command line.</p>

<p>To build this example, click the <strong>Build</strong> menu option in Android Studio or invoke

the <code>assemble</code> task from the command line. </p>

<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> The <strong>Build &gt; Make Project</strong> option compiles

all the source files in the entire project that have been modified since the last compilation. The

<strong>Build &gt; Rebuild Project</strong> option recomplies all the source files in the project.</p>

<p>Separate output folders are created for each build variant. </p>

<p>Running a top-level task, runs all the dependent tasks. For example, the <em>assemble</em> task

has dependent tasks for <em>assembleDebug</em> and <em>assembleRelease</em> to make the debug and

release APKs. The <em>assemble</em> task depends on these tasks so calling it builds both APKs.

These tasks can also be called independently to build the debug or release APK separately. </p>
