Gradle settings migration

A change to enable the developer to edit Kotlin and Dart files with syntax highlighting and auto completion in Android Studio.

In order to detect Flutter and Gradle modules in the same IDE instance, the Gradle settings need to be moved so that the IDE can see both project types at once.

The following files must be moved to the root directory of your project:

• android/settings.gradle[.kts] (with the .kts suffix when you use the Kotlin script)
• android/build.gradle[.kts]
• android/gradle.properties
• android/local.properties

Change the newBuildDir value from:

val newBuildDir: Directory = rootProject.layout.buildDirectory.dir("../../build").get()

to:

val newBuildDir: Directory = rootProject.layout.buildDirectory.dir("build").get()

Add the following line:

project(":app").projectDir = File(rootDir, "android/app/")

Add the following line:

project(':app').projectDir = new File(rootDir, 'android/app/')

When your project has multiple modules, add them in build.gradle[.kts] and replace the module name with the actual path.

In stable release: 3.34.0
