Compile

Compile is for all build type and favlors to be compiled and packaged into the final apk file.

provided

Provided is for all build type and favlors only at compile time, similar to external-libs in Eclipse, only participates in compiling, not packaging to the final apk.

APK

It will only be packaged into the APK file, not compiled, so you can no longer call the class or method in the jar directly from the code, or you will get an error at compile time.

Test Compile

Test compile is only valid for compilation and compilation of unit test code and final package test apk, which does not work for normal debug or release apk packages.

Debug Compile

Debug compile only for debug mode compilation and final Debug APK package.
