[android-developers] code generation task with android-gradle build system

Hi, I would like to run a task in my android-gradle based build system which will generate some Java code before compilation.

I would like it to put the generated source code in the build/ directory somewhere, like buid/src-generated

I tried the solution here:

http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/source_code_generation

But this assumes the Java plugin, and I could not get this to work. It doesn't seem very elegant / simple either. I'm trying to do something like:

task generateMyCode (type:exec, dependsOn:XXX) {

     commandline <<.... run tool that puts code in $buildDir/src-generated .. >>

}

Then I can say something like

sourceSets {

    main.java.srcDirs = ['src/java', '$buildDir/src-generated']

}

Anyone have a recipe for this? Specifically, I need to know what android task (XXX) is so that my task gets fired at the right time. The generated code is the same for every variant / flavor.

Thanks
