My current `.travis.yml` (at least the part of it that matters:)

```yaml
before_cache:
  - rm -f $HOME/.gradle/caches/modules-2/modules-2.lock
  - rm -fr $HOME/.gradle/caches/*/plugin-resolution/

cache:
  directories:
  - $HOME/.gradle/caches/
  - $HOME/.gradle/wrapper/
  - $HOME/.android/build-cache

```

Thanks,

Hi @Mearsheimer,

```yaml
before_script:
  - cd ${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR}/WhateverItIs
  - chmod +x ./gradlew

script: "./gradlew assemble"

```

This is how your `before_script` should look like. Then I added an example of the `script` hook.
