This addresses warnings seen during the Android Viewer build like:

Build file '/home/michi/development/git/libreoffice-WORKTREE-android/android/source/build.gradle': line 19
Properties should be assigned using the 'propName = value' syntax. Setting a property via the Gradle-generated 'propName value' or 'propName(value)' syntax in Groovy DSL has been deprecated. This is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 10.0. Use assignment ('url = <value>') instead.
