Answer 1

To use flavors to vary source sets,

productFlavors{
    phone{
    }
    tablet{
    }
}

Now structure your code like,

src
  main
  phone
  tablet

The code in main is common between both flavors, but the code in phone or tablet is only included when the respective flavor is built. That's it, you don't need to do anything else.

The structure under phone and tablet is the same as under main (res, java, etc). You can also have a custom AndroidManifest.xml under the flavor directory. Gradle attempts to merge the flavor's AndroidManifest.xml with the one in main. In some cases you have to provide rules for how to merge.
