New Module Script

This script creates a new sample and configures it as a new module in Android Studio. The IntelliJ project creates an .jar artifact which is used to create new samples.

How the script works

The script uses the sample Display Map as a template to create a new sample. Here is the breakdown of the process of the .jar executable:

• Sets up the path of the repository and the sample names used in the sample's package directory
• Creates the necessary files and folders using the template. Example: build.gradle, src/, libs/, README.metadata.json, README.md and proguard-rules.pro
• Removes unwanted files like display-map.png and build/ directory
• Creates a blank README.metadata.json file
• Updates the sample content to reflect the name of the sample. Example: README.md header, the build.gradle's applicationId, the package name in AndroidManifest.xml, the app_name in strings.xml, the copyright year in MainActivity.kt and so on.
• Adds the sample module name to settings.gradle. The script adds the module name to the end of the gradle file.
