Overwrite Application Id Outside of Flavors and Build Types

By Hường Hana 9:30 AM , Leave a Comment

I have an application with many flavors (A,B,C) and two build types (debug,release)

In the build type debug I add a suffix to the application ID like so: 

debug {     applicationIdSuffix '.debug' }

This is fine for flavors A and B but I can't append .debug to flavor C's application ID.

I have looked at overriding on the variant like I have for the versionCode but no luck.

    applicationVariants.all { variant ->         def changedVersionCode = variant.versionCode         variant.         variant.outputs.each { output ->             if (variant.buildType.name != "debug") {                 output.setVersionCodeOverride(project.ext.versionCode)                 changedVersionCode = project.ext.versionCode             }          }         changeApkFileName(variant,changedVersionCode)     }

Is it possible to override a variants application ID depending on the flavor. For example my plan was to do something like this:

variant.buildType.name.replace('.debug','')

Yes it is possible.

The reason you are not able to see the expected id is:

Because Gradle applies the build type configuration after the product flavor, the application ID for the "C" build variant will be "<your-applicaion-id>.debug".

So if you want it to be different for different flavors then you have to segregate the applicationIdSuffix for different flaovors and remove it from debug {} as follows:

android {     defaultConfig {         applicationId "<your-application-id>"     }     productFlavors {         A {             applicationIdSuffix ".debug"         }         B {             applicationIdSuffix ".debug"         }         C {             applicationIdSuffix ""         }     } }
