What is a .Gradle file?
A .gradle file is a build script for Gradle, the build tool behind most Android apps.
- Did you know
- Gradle is the official build system for Android development.
- Gradle was created in 2007 by Hans Dockter to combine Ant’s flexibility with Maven’s convention-over-configuration approach.
- A .gradle build script can be written in a Groovy or a Kotlin domain-specific language, and the tool’s incremental builds skip work that is already up to date.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read metadata from developer and data files: JWT tokens (header + claims + expiry), WebAssembly, Java class files, NumPy/Safetensors/GGUF model files, source maps, SQL dumps, Visual Studio/.NET projects, Terraform, Protobuf, GraphQL, SARIF, Python bytecode, and Apple property lists (XML + binary). Jupyter notebooks (IPYNB) and HAR captures now open in a full viewer - see Notebooks & data above.
- Depth of analysis
- .Gradle is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .Gradle file
- Drag a .Gradle file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
