Gradle resValue causes duplicate string resources

Question

My Android manifest file defines the app name as follows:

android:label=\"@string/app_name\"

A corresponding entry for app_name exists in r

Answer 1

Shouldn't have to mess with a 'resValue.' You can use the debug sourceset which will allow you to redefine other strings in debug as well. Create the following file and redefine the 'app_name' string in there.

src/debug/res/values/strings.xml

Just make sure you don't have anything like the following in your build.gradle's sourceSets

debug.setRoot('build-types/debug')
