If you want to define variable in project level dependancy build.gradle(Project:NameOfYourProject) then you can define variables in ext.

like : 

ext {
    vCode = 340
    vName = "v3.4.0"
}

and if you want to define variable in app level dependancy build.gradle(Module:app) then you can use def for variable declaration.

Like :

def CHAT_BUCKET_NAME = '"' + CHAT_BUCKET_NAME + '"' ?: '"'

Example :

Example

Use it like : Use variable

In the top most build.gradle define any variables you want inside of ext{}

ext{
    my_version = "16.0.0"
}

And then use it in sub folder .gradle files automatically (Android Studio) with

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:$my_version"
