Subject: [PATCH] Android: Say hello to gradle!

Switching from Ant to Gradle brings lots of advantages:
 - it is way faster when rebuilding (25-50% faster than ant).
 - it enables first class Android Studio integration.
 - adding Android Extras libs (e.g. Google Play services, OBB, etc.) to
   your project is now painless.

[ChangeLog][Android] Added Gradle support to build the APK.
