Android gradle - have both debug and release resources in different flavors

Issue

I want to be able to set up different things for debug and release versions of my app, for my two flavors. The things I am thinking I need are, app name, app icon, and some strings that are used for keys for various third party libs e.g. Flurry, Crashlytics.

I can get debug to work if I just create a folder called debug, but it will be the same resources for both flavors and I want them for diff flavors.

Solution

Create sourcesets for the build variants.

Suppose you have vanilla and chocolate product flavors, and debug and release build types, and you want distinct resources for each combination. Create:

• src/main/
• src/vanillaDebug/
• src/chocolateDebug/
• src/vanillaRelease/
• src/chocolateRelease/

and put the resources where they need to go.
