Add dependency to specific productFlavor and buildType in gradle

Question

I\'m wondering how to add dependency to specific productFlavor and buildType in gradle. For example I have productFlavor free and build type release

Answer 1

android {
    ext.addDependency = {
        task, flavor, dependency ->
            def taskName = task.name.toLowerCase(Locale.US)
            if (taskName.indexOf(flavor.toLowerCase(Locale.US)) >= 0) {
                task.dependsOn dependency
            }
    }

    productFlavors {
        production {
        }
        other
    }

    task theProductionTask << {
        println('only in production')
    }

    tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
        compileTask -> addDependency compileTask, "production", theProductionTask
    }
}

To be frank, I don't which locale is used to generate names for compile taks so toLowerCase(Locale.US) may be counterproductive.
