Define buildconfigfield for an specific flavor AND buildType


I have 2 flavors, lets say Vanilla and Chocolate. I also have Debug and Release build types, and I need Vanilla Release to have a field true, while the other 3 combinations should be false.

def BOOLEAN = "boolean"
def VARIABLE = "VARIABLE"
def TRUE = "true"
def FALSE = "false"

    VANILLA {

        debug {

            buildConfigField BOOLEAN, VARIABLE, FALSE

        }

        release {

            buildConfigField BOOLEAN, VARIABLE, TRUE

        }


    }

    CHOCOLATE {
        buildConfigField BOOLEAN, VARIABLE, FALSE
    }

I'm having an error, so I guess the debug and release trick doesnt work. It is possible to do this?


Solution

  • Loop the variants and check their names:

    productFlavors {
        vanilla {}
        chocolate {}
    }
    
    applicationVariants.all { variant ->
        println("Iterating variant: " + variant.getName())
        if (variant.getName() == "chocolateDebug") {
            variant.buildConfigField "boolean", "VARIABLE", "true"
        } else {
            variant.buildConfigField "boolean", "VARIABLE", "false"
        }
    }
