However, in order to take advantage of build 58 variants and other advanced features in the future, 59 we strongly suggest that you generate a Gradle build file using 60 the ADT plugin or write your own Gradle build file for use with Android Studio. 61 For more information about the Gradle build system, see the 62 <a href="http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide">Gradle 63 Plugin User Guide</a>.</p> 64
