Running custom Gradle Android build in Android Studio

Question

Is there an easy way to build, install, and automatically run a custom Gradle build in Android Studio?

When I click the “Play” button in Android Studio (with the usual configuration of the Android project), my project builds, installs it on the desired device, and launches the application.

How can I do this using specific Build / Product properties (using Gradle)? I got to the point of creating a Gradle configuration that runs the "installFlavor1" task. This installs correctly, but does not start the application automatically.

You can always choose another buildVariant from the buildVariant window in Android Studio. And then, if you press the start / play button, you can install and run the application on your device / emulator.

And also for me, running gradlew install** on the terminal does not start the application. If you are looking for something, look at build.gradle and buildhelper.gradle here
