Resolution: Won't Fix

It's always hard for us to say no to our customers. However, design decisions are not only about "Do we want to have this feature?" but also "Is this a best feature we can implement using our available resources?". We want to invest our time in making your lives (and code!) better. The fact that Google are building their Android IDE based on IntelliJ IDEA, which has a built-in coverage tool, means that you can measure code coverage for your Android apps, in an environment supported by Google. Therefore, we decided to not implement Clover for Android in the near future. Beginning of Clover 4.1 release, we will remove all documentation related to Clover for Android prototype and close the related issues.
Ensure that future Clover-for-Gradle is compatible with Android projects. We must especially:
- use smaller clover-runtime.jar instead of the clover.jar (to not exceed 64k method limit)
- upload clover.db to the device before test execution or
- use 'growable' coverage recorder which doesn't require a db
- download coverage recording files after test execution
