Flavor-Groups-Example

An example of how to use flavor groups with the Android plugin for Gradle. See http://apporia.blogspot.com/2013/11/gradle-and-flavor-groups.html.

Product Flavors A product flavor defines a customized version of the application build by the project. Typical example: A free and a paid version of the application. Build Type + Product Flavor = Build Variant Configuring new product flavors

android { productFlavors { free { buildConfig 'public final static org.gradle.examples.android.MonetizationType monetizationType = org.gradle.examples.android.MonetizationType.FREE;' versionCode 20 }

    pro {
        buildConfig 'public final static org.gradle.examples.android.MonetizationType monetizationType = org.gradle.examples.android.MonetizationType.PRO;'        
        minSdkVersion 14
    }
}

repositories { mavenCentral() }

dependencies { compile 'commons-lang:commons-lang:2.6' <--- Dependency for regular source code proCompile 'commons-codec:commons-codec:1.8' <--- Dependency for "pro" product flavor } For each product flavor new configurations are added:

Compile: Dependencies for compiling code of product flavor. Apk: Dependencies packaged for product flavor APK. Generated tasks

Build variants provide tasks as combination of build types and product flavors. Example for assemble tasks:

assembleFreeDebug: Assembles the Debug build for flavor Free assembleFreeRelease: Assembles the Release build for flavor Free assembleProDebug: Assembles the Debug build for flavor Pro assembleProRelease: Assembles the Release build for flavor Pro
