Setting up TeamCity to build Android Studio project

I cannot for the life of me find any reference on the internet for how to setup TeamCity to build Android Studio projects.

I've found links to IntelliJ Idea and TeamCity, to Gradle and TeamCity, but nothing specifically on building an Android Studio project in TeamCity.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks to Yole's direction, I've set this up now.

The steps if anyone is interested are below:

  1. Install Gradle on the build agent server. I took the gradle-2.3.bin from http://gradle.org/downloads and copied to C:\gradle-2.3
  2. Set the environment variable GRADLE_HOME = C:\gradle-2.3
  3. Install Android Studio on the build agent server. This should also install the Android SDK
  4. Set the environment variable ANDROID_HOME = C:\Users\%Current User%\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
  5. Restart the TeamCity agent server
  6. Setup your build configuration with the Gradle runner, setting Gradle tasks to 'clean build' and setting the Gradle Home path. Set working directory to the project directory for your Android project

Run the build!

There is nothing specific about building an Android Studio project on TeamCity. It's just a Gradle project, and you need to configure it as such.
