buildConfigField depending on flavor + buildType
android, android-gradle-plugin, android-productflavors
Solution
Edit2: The version after 0.14.2 will allow doing this:
applicationVariants.all { variant ->
variant.buildConfigField "int", "VALUE", "1"
}
So you'd be able to do something like this (to match the original question):
applicationVariants.all { variant ->
variant.buildConfigField "String", "WS_API_KEY", variant.productFlavors.get(0).name + '_' + variant.buildType.name
}
Edit: it's not currently possible. The API is missing for this. Bug: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=67416
Try this:
applicationVariants.all { variant ->
variant.mergedFlavor.buildConfigField "String", "NAME", '"VALUE"'
}
Problem
I'm trying to define a buildConfigVariable depending on the flavor + buildType. Ideally, this is what I want ``` productFlavors { strawberry { buildConfigField "String", "WS_API_KEY", name + variant.buildType.name } ... more flavors .. } ``` name does contain "strawberry", but I don't know if it's possible to access the variant's buildType. Placed outside the Android closure I do have access to the BuildType and variant, but then I can't invoke `buildConfigField` ``` android.applicationVariants.all { variant -> println "****************************" println "variant: ${variant.name}" println "flavor: ${variant.flavorName}" println "****************************" if (variant.buildType.name == 'release') { if (variant.flavorName == 'strawberry') { buildConfigField "String", "WS_API_KEY", '"strawberry_release"' } else { buildConfigField "String", "WS_API_KEY", '"chocolate_release"' } } else if(variant.buildType.name == 'debug') { if (variant.flavorName == 'strawberry') { buildConfigField "String", "WS_API_KEY", '"strawberry_debug"' } else { buildConfigField "String", "WS_API_KEY", '"chocolate_debug"' } } **************************** variant: strawberryRelease flavor: strawberry **************************** org.gradle.api.internal.MissingMethodException: Could not find method buildConfigField() for arguments [String, WS_API_KEY, "strawberry_release"] ``` I can easily create a Java factory and return the appropriate `API_KEY` depending on some `BuildConfig` constants, but I'd rather keep the code configuration agnostic.
