Dynamically generating product flavors

Question

I\'ve created an Android App which needs to be build in many (30+) flavors.

My idea was to generate the different productFlavors directly from the folde

Answer 1

I know there's already an answer for this, but I kind of combined Chris.Zou's approach with TheHippo. And add my own method for doing this.

Basically, when dealing with flavors, we normally work with different directories under /app/src/ which contains resources. And since the directory name is equal to the package name, I simply listed the directories under that folder (excluded "main" and "androidTest").

So here's my complete, working gradle script:

def map = [:]

new File("./app/src").eachFile() { file->

    def fileName = file.getName()
    if( fileName == "main" || fileName == "androidTest") {
        return
    }

    map.put(fileName, 'com.mypackagename.' + fileName )


}
productFlavors {
    map.each { flavorName, packagename ->
        "$flavorName" {
            applicationId packagename
        }
    }
}

Edit:

• Would also like to add, the com.mypackagename is basically the root path for all flavors.
• I have a separate script that copy-pastes the a flavor directory to the /app/src/ folder.
