Known caveats

Known caveats

• (BUCK) Non-final resource id/Incompatible with ButterKnife.
• (BUCK) Incompatible with AndroidAnnotations, the same reason as ButterKnife.
• (BUCK) AIDL work-around
• (BUCK) Incompatible with Fabric crash report.
• (OkBuck) javax.annotation dependency should be compile scope, rather provided.
• (BUCK) Sub modules must locate inside root project dir

Details

Incompatible with ButterKnife

The resource variables (id, string, color, etc.) generated by BUCK is non final, so BUCK is incompatible with ButterKnife.

Workaround:

• Change @Bind/@InjectView to ButterKnife.findById.
• Change @OnClick to setOnClickListener, etc.
• Change switch-case to if-else-if.

AIDL work-around

If you used self implement parcelable in your aidl, you need create a separate library module contains those custom implementations, otherwise BUCK build will fail. See the example of common module and parcelable module.

Incompatible with Fabric crash report

Fabric crash report gradle plugin will generate an unique uuid during the process of gradle build, and will upload this uuid to its server, and this uuid will be used at runtime of your application (by adding this uuid to the string res of your app), while these jobs couldn't be done by BUCK, more detail could be found at #10.

Workaround:

• Define a BuildConfig in build.gradle, with default value to disable fabric (not call Fabric.with(...) method) but flavor value to enable it.
• Then use OkBuck and BUCK in daily develop build, but use gradle build to release.
