Kuidas toimub moodulite ühendamise protsess Gradle ehitussüsteemis, töötades mitmooduliliste projektidega?

In Gradle, a multi-module project consists of several modules (subprojects), each with its own build.gradle file. The process of merging modules occurs at the root project level, where in settings.gradle (or settings.gradle.kts) all modules are listed.

When building with Gradle:

• First, the configuration of all modules is loaded.
• Then, Gradle constructs the dependency graph between modules.
• Modules can depend on each other, and these dependencies are specified in build.gradle via implementation project(':moduleName').
• During the build, Gradle takes these dependencies into account and builds the modules in the correct order.

As a result, a single artifact (e.g., APK or library) is produced, which includes all necessary modules and their dependencies.

Therefore, module merging is a process of dependency resolution and sequential building of all parts of the project within a single Gradle build session.
