I have file build.gradle for module level recently changed to be new Kotline DSL version rename to build.gradle.kts
I have a line to generate versionName to be used as string in xml (settings activity to show version of application)
old code
applicationVariants.all { variant ->
variant.resValue "string", "versionName", variant.versionName }
I tried to convert it to Kotlin DSL but no luck
I tried this but not working
applicationVariants.all { variant -> variant.resValue("string", "versionName", variant.versionName)}
gives error
Type mismatch: inferred type is Unit but Boolean was expected
The problem is that there is 2 version of applicationVariants
on returns a Boolean, so when you use your code
applicationVariants.all { variant -> variant.resValue("string", "versionName", variant.versionName)}
applicationVariants.all
is expecting a Boolean, so you need to return either false or true, but the one you are looking is without the boolean option
applicationVariants.all { resValue("string", "versionName",versionName)}
The signature seems the same, but when you are using the IDE select the one that is not "Boolean" as return, is quite confusing but I had this issue as well.
