Cannot add buildConfigField in productFlavors

android, gradle

Solution

The correct syntax for the `buildConfigField` lines is:

buildConfigField "boolean", "MY_FLAG", "true"

In other words, the strings need to be separated by commas.

Problem

In my android{} section I tried to put two different build types for may free and paid app. Sadly I'm getting gradle error: Gradle 'android-Transport' project refresh failed: Build script error, unsupported Gradle DSL method found: 'buildConfigField()'! Possible causes could be: - you are using Gradle version where the method is absent - you didn't apply Gradle plugin which provides the method - or there is a mistake in a build script This is my android{} section in gradle build: ``` android { compileSdkVersion 19 buildToolsVersion "19.0.3" defaultConfig { minSdkVersion 10 targetSdkVersion 19 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" } compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6 } buildTypes { release { runProguard true proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt' } debug { debuggable true runProguard false } } productFlavors { free { packageName "pl.grzeslowski.transport.free" buildConfigField "transport.product_flavors.MonetizationType" "MONETIAZATION_TYPE" "transport.product_flavors.MonetizationType.FREE" } paid { packageName "pl.grzeslowski.transport.paid" buildConfigField "transport.product_flavors.MonetizationType" "MONETIAZATION_TYPE" "transport.product_flavors.MonetizationType.PAID" } } } ``` And this is my console log: Executing tasks: [:transport:compileDebugJava] Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.
