## Working with Bazel

The following resources will help you work with Bazel on Android projects:

## Android and Skylark

**Note**: Extending Bazel with Skylark is for advanced build and test scenarios.
You do not need to use Skylark when getting started with Bazel.

The following [Skylark](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/concepts.html)
modules, configuration fragments, and providers will help you extend Bazel's
capabilities when building your Android projects:

*  Modules:

   *  [`android_common`](skylark/lib/AndroidSkylarkApiProvider.html)
   *  [`AndroidSkylarkIdlInfo`](skylark/lib/AndroidSkylarkIdlInfo.html)

*  Configuration fragments:
