Going to start off with the .travis.yml file and then explain it.

This was based off the configuration found here .
The reason this has to be done stems from this issue on the travis-ci project. Unfortunately, this is a temporary workaround as the travis team needs to find a way to update their images.
env
ANDROID_TARGET : the source travis config uses android-20, however I chose to use android-L as that’s what is used in the build.gradle file as well.
before_install : this grabs the new android sdk and updates it for use on this build
before_script : this is used specifically for my repository as I have specific properties for the build.
script : utilize the gradle wrapper which will automatically get the correct gradle binary and execute the build
deploy : based on the guide
I personally started this section using the travis cli tool and the command travis setups releases
file : use the ${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR} env var to get the root dir and append the gradle output dir to the string, no plus sign or quotations necessary.on : this is used for conditional deployments
tags set to true makes sure the deployment only occurs on tags, this requires the all_branches prop as well due to a known issue .
