[殷啟聰 | Kai-Chung Yan]

Whether it's Ant or Gradle, it just runs the tools provided by the SDK, so yes. But you need to know what tools are run in what order.

I don't really "get" Gradle and I think it's shitty how a build system needs to update itself just to do its job. I would actually prefer working with Ant if not for incompatibility with other people's apps.
