Gradle

Gradle is our offline compilation script and Android Studio management relies on an automated compilation system and allows for custom compilation logic. Gradle replaced the previous Android build system, ANT, which has now been deprecated in Android development.

Use the Mobile SDK without having to install Gradle. The Oculus Mobile SDK 1.0+ compilation script uses Gradle Wrapper, a small Wrapper, to automatically download and install Gradle when you first compile the project. However, if you wish to install all gradle, we will explain below.
