This yak shave went as follows:
Fix https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/8795 by adding stocks to
the examples README.
Notice the layers entry in that README isn't quite right either.
Update that.
Check the layers/README file is worth pointing at.
Update the layers/README.
Let's run some of the layer tests to see if they still work.
Oops, need to update them to gradle.
Ok let's try running them again.
Oops, sector is broken.
Add a test for sector.
Fix sector. Find you need to add an assert to a const constructor.
Notice we need to turn const asserts on for the analyzer.
Notice the analysis_options files are out of sync with each other and
with the full list of lints.
Turn on the lints that should be on.
Fix the bugs that finds.
Gradle projects are evaluated in lexicographical order, and the plugin
projects are at the same level as the :app project, so if a plugin has
a name that comes before 'app' (like, for example, any name that starts
with a capital letter), the plugin project will be evaluated before
:app.
Since :app applies the Flutter Gradle plugin, which tries to
modify the dependencies of the plugin projects, we have a problem if the
plugin projects have already been evaluated. Adding
evaluationDependsOn(':app') to the plugin projects fixes this.
Updated example projects to the latest (plugin-enabled) Gradle build
files.
Also removed two unused imports in `pluginClass.java.tmpl`.
* Update hello_world to new gradle based build flow
* Update flutter_gallery to gradle based build
* Align hello_services with new gradle based build
* Update platform_services to new gradle based build
* Upgrade stock to gradle based build
* s/sky/flutter/ in Android templates
* update engine.version with a compatible engine version
* replace more SkyActivity references with FlutterActivity
