Android flavors with different base themes

Question

I\'ve an android project with multiple flavors that I\'m working on.

This works fine and I can customize elements of the app such as colors and string resources.

Answer 1

Just FYI in case anyone is looking for an easy way to do this going forward.

In your manifest, update your theme to something like this...

android:theme="${appTheme}"

Then in your app.gradle do something like this...

productFlavors {
    flavorA{
        manifestPlaceholders = [appTheme: "@style/AppThemeA"]
    }
    flavorB{
        manifestPlaceholders = [appTheme: "@style/AppThemeB"]
    }
}

Then you can use whatever styles you want there and they will tie to the flavor selected.
