How to use

That is a template for Kotlin Multiplatform Projects. How to use it:

  • Create your repository from this template
  • Add local.properties file in case you plan to use Android target (you must set up location of SDK, it will not be tracked by git and it is correct behaviour). In the snippet below you may see approximate content of local.properties file:

## This file must *NOT* be checked into Version Control Systems,
# as it contains information specific to your local configuration.
#
# Location of the SDK. This is only used by Gradle.
# For customization when using a Version Control System, please read the
# header note.
sdk.dir=/your/path/to/android/sdk
  • Replace in a whole project project_group by your group
  • Replace in a whole project project_name by your ROOT project name
  • Update your subproject packages. It is not critical, but recommended especially in case you plan to publish your library

Subprojects

In this template there is only one subproject with name lib. You are always able to rename it, but remember that in this case you must rename it in settings.gradle file.

JVM sources in Android target

By default JVM code is not included in Android target. In case you wish to include JVM sources in Android build, use next method in the end of your build.gradle:

enableIncludingJvmCodeInAndroidPart()

In case when you need to be sure that JVM sources are not included in Android part, use this snippet:

disableIncludingJvmCodeInAndroidPart()
