2 min readOct 19, 2016
I think below is the perfect .gitignore file for most of the android studio projects. It includes ignore files for android, Gradle & IntelliJ
# Created by https://www.gitignore.io/api/android,intellij+iml,gradle

*.apk
*.ap_
# Files for the ART/Dalvik VM
*.dex
# Java class files
*.class
# Generated files

.gradle/
build/
# Local configuration file (sdk path, etc)
local.properties
# Proguard folder generated by Eclipse
proguard/
# Log Files

# Reason: https://github.com/joeblau/gitignore.io/issues/186#issuecomment-249601023
modules.xml
.idea/misc.xml
*.ipr
### Gradle ###
.gradle
/build/
# Ignore Gradle GUI config
gradle-app.setting
# Avoid ignoring Gradle wrapper jar file (.jar files are usually ignored)
!gradle-wrapper.jar
# Cache of project
.gradletasknamecache
# # Work around https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-116898
# gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
