Build.Gradle Templating

Does anyone know of a way to template build.gradle files as modules are created? Right now the issue I have is that I want to be able to have the module's build.gradle contain only a small amount of information since I'd be setting the shared configuration within the top level build.gradle file. I have a buildSrc folder setup to centralize the versioning as well.
Top-level build.gradle file:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath Deps.tools_gradleandroid
classpath Deps.tools_kotlin
classpath 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.10'
}
}
subprojects {
afterEvaluate { project ->
if (project.hasProperty('android')) {
android {
buildToolsVersion Config.buildTools
compileSdkVersion Config.compileSdk
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion Config.minSdk
targetSdkVersion Config.targetSdk
testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility Config.javaVersion
targetCompatibility Config.javaVersion
}
kotlinOptions {
jvmTarget = Config.javaVersion.toString()
}
}
}
}
}
A module's expected build.gradle file:
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
}
android {
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.company.expectedmodule"
}
}
dependencies {
implementation Deps.androidx_core
implementation Deps.androidx_appcompat
implementation Deps.androidx_material
testImplementation Deps.testlib_junit
androidTestImplementation Deps.testandroidx_junit
androidTestImplementation Deps.testandroidx_espressocore
}
What the build.gradle file looks like when I create a 'New Module':
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
}
android {
compileSdk 32
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.company.newmodule"
minSdk 21
targetSdk 32
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
kotlinOptions {
jvmTarget = '1.8'
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.7.0'
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.5.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.6.1'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'
}
EDIT: For sake of simplicity I've moved the dependencies bracket to the top-level build.gradle file and also changed the modules to be libraries instead and reduced the code of a library module to below:
plugins {
id 'com.android.library'
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
}
android {
}

recommended way of sharing build logic in Gradle is by using convention plugins. Like in this sample.
Also precompiled script plugins can be used to write plugins in syntax similar to regular build scripts.

How to Fix "Could not parse Android Application Module's Gradle config" in Android Studio

I'm trying to connect Firebase with my project in Android studio, but it keeps showing "Could not parse Android Application Module's Gradle config" error. How do I fix it? I have tried many methods by skimming through related posts here, but none worked.

Could not get unknown property 'android' for settings '<project_name>' of type org.gradle.initialization.DefaultSettings

I am trying build a android project I created using gradle unit. When I add this line to my file settings.gradle:
android.useAndroidX=true
I got this error:
Could not get unknown property 'android' for settings 'HelloKotlin' of type org.gradle.initialization.DefaultSettings.
if I try gradle assemvbleDebud --scan I got this error:
* What went wrong:
Could not resolve all files for configuration 'classpath'.

Anyone can tell what's I am missing here?

A problem occurred evaluating settings 'MyApplication'.
Could not find method dependencyResolutionManagement() for arguments [settings_5pc4jcjs87c9dkfx5manehm0u$_run_closure1#69c68d91] on settings 'MyApplication' of type org.gradle.initialization.DefaultSettings.
gradle problem is too difficult for novice like me. Is there any solution ?

You try to add this line in your settings.gradle:
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
--setting.gradle
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
jcenter() // Warning: this repository is going to shut down soon
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } //Add this line in your settings.gradle

Gradle AndroidStudio: Plugin [id: 'kotlin-android'] was not found in any of the following sources

Trying to add another android project as module to my project i AndroidStudio
in gradle.settings ad do the following:
include ':appmod'
project(':appmod').projectDir = file('/home/john/AndroidStudioProjects/MyIncludeTest/appmod')
and as dependency in build.gradle I add the following:
implementation project(':appmod')
The gradle couldn't fullfill sync because of the following error
Build file '/home/john/AndroidStudioProjects/MyIncludeTest/appmod/build.gradle' line: 3
