How to get current flavor in gradle

I have two product flavors for my app:

productFlavors {
    europe {
        buildConfigField("Boolean", "BEACON_ENABLED", "false")
    }

    usa {
        buildConfigField("Boolean", "BEACON_ENABLED", "true")
    }
}

Now I want to get the current flavor name (which one I selected in Android Studio) inside a task to change the path:

task copyJar(type: Copy) {
    from('build/intermediates/bundles/' + FLAVOR_NAME + '/release/')
}

How can I obtain FLAVOR_NAME in Gradle?

Thanks

How to get current flavor name

I have developed the following function, returning exactly the current flavor name:

def getCurrentFlavor() {
    Gradle gradle = getGradle()
    String  tskReqStr = gradle.getStartParameter().getTaskRequests().toString()

    Pattern pattern

    if( tskReqStr.contains( "assemble" ) ) // to run ./gradlew assembleRelease to build APK
        pattern = Pattern.compile("assemble(\\w+)(Release|Debug)")
    else if( tskReqStr.contains( "bundle" ) ) // to run ./gradlew bundleRelease to build .aab
        pattern = Pattern.compile("assemble(\\w+)(Release|Debug)")
    else
        pattern = Pattern.compile("generate(\\w+)(Release|Debug)")

    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher( tskReqStr )

    if( matcher.find() )
        return matcher.group(1).toLowerCase()
    else
    {
        println "NO MATCH FOUND"
        return ""
    }
}

You need also

import java.util.regex.Matcher
import java.util.regex.Pattern

at the beginning or your script. In Android Studio this works by compiling with "Make Project" or "Debug App" button.

How to get current build variant

def getCurrentVariant() {
    Gradle gradle = getGradle()
    String tskReqStr = gradle.getStartParameter().getTaskRequests().toString()

    Pattern pattern

    if (tskReqStr.contains("assemble"))
        pattern = Pattern.compile("assemble(\\w+)(Release|Debug)")
    else
        pattern = Pattern.compile("generate(\\w+)(Release|Debug)")

    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(tskReqStr)

    if (matcher.find()){
        return matcher.group(2).toLowerCase()
    }else{
        println "NO MATCH FOUND"
        return ""
    }
}

How to get current flavor applicationId

A similar question could be: how to get the applicationId? Also in this case, there is no direct way to get the current flavor applicationId. Then I have developed a gradle function using the above defined getCurrentFlavor function as follows:

def getCurrentApplicationId() {
    def currFlavor = getCurrentFlavor()

    def outStr = ''
    android.productFlavors.all{ flavor ->

        if( flavor.name==currFlavor )
            outStr=flavor.applicationId
    }

    return outStr
}

Voilà.

I use this

${variant.getFlavorName()}.apk

to format file name output

you should use this,${variant.productFlavors[0].name},it will get productFlavors both IDE and command line.

This is what I used some time ago. I hope it's still working with the latest Gradle plugin. I was basically iterating through all flavours and setting a new output file which looks similar to what you are trying to achieve.

applicationVariants.all { com.android.build.gradle.api.ApplicationVariant variant ->
    for (flavor in variant.productFlavors) {
        variant.outputs[0].outputFile = file("$project.buildDir/${YourNewPath}/${YourNewApkName}.apk")
    }
}

my solution was in that to parse gradle input parameters.

Gradle gradle = getGradle()

Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(":assemble(.*?)(Release|Debug)");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(gradle.getStartParameter().getTaskRequests().toString());
println(matcher.group(1))

I slightly changed Poiana Apuana's answer since my flavor has some capital character.

REASON
gradle.getStartParameter().getTaskRequests().toString() contains your current flavor name but the first character is capital.
However, usually flavor name starts with lowercase. So I forced to change first character to lowercase.

def getCurrentFlavor() {
    Gradle gradle = getGradle()
    String taskReqStr = gradle.getStartParameter().getTaskRequests().toString()
    Pattern pattern
    if (taskReqStr.contains("assemble")) {
        pattern = Pattern.compile("assemble(\\w+)(Release|Debug)")
    } else {
        pattern = Pattern.compile("generate(\\w+)(Release|Debug)")
    }
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(taskReqStr)
    if (matcher.find()) {
        String flavor = matcher.group(1)
        // This makes first character to lowercase.
        char[] c = flavor.toCharArray()
        c[0] = Character.toLowerCase(c[0])
        flavor = new String(c)
        println "getCurrentFlavor:" + flavor
        return flavor
    } else {
        println "getCurrentFlavor:cannot_find_current_flavor"
        return ""
    }
}

Use:

${variant.baseName}.apk"

This return current flavor name

Full Answer

android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    variant.outputs.all {
        outputFileName = "${variant.baseName}.apk"
    }
}

get SELECTED_BUILD_VARIANT from the .iml file after gradle sync completes You can either load it using an xml parser, or less desireable, but probably faster to implement would be to use a regex to find it.

<facet type="android" name="Android">
  <configuration>
    <option name="SELECTED_BUILD_VARIANT" value="your_build_flavorDebug" />
        ...

(not tested, something like this:)

/(?=<name="SELECTED_BUILD_VARIANT".*value=")[^"]?/

You can use gradle.startParameter.taskNames[0]

Just add the following in your build.gradle (app level)

def getCurrentFlavour() {
  Gradle gradle = getGradle()
  String tskReqStr = gradle.getStartParameter().getTaskRequests().toString()
  print(tskReqStr.toString())

  Pattern pattern;
  if( tskReqStr.contains( "assemble" ))
    pattern = Pattern.compile("assemble(\\w+)(Release|Staging|Debug)")
  else
    pattern = Pattern.compile("generate(\\w+)(Release|Staging|Debug)")
  Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher( tskReqStr )
  if( matcher.find() ) {
    def value = matcher.group(1).toLowerCase()
    return value
  } else {
    return "";
  }
}

Now Inside android tag,

android {  
// android tag starts
 defaultConfig {
  - - - - - - - - 
  - - - - - - - - 
 }
 - - - - - - - - 
 - - - - - - - - 
 
 def flavourName = getCurrentFlavour()
  if (flavourName == "Dev") {
    println("This is Dev")
   } else if (flavourName == "Staging") {
    println("This is Staging")
   } else if (flavourName == "Production") {
    println("This is Production")
   } else {
    println("NA")
   }
// android tag ends
}

Now Sync & Build your project.

How to get the flavor name or build variant from a prebuild task? This is what solved my issue. I added getCurrentFlavor() or getCurrentVariant() (from @Poiana Apuana answer) into my task's dependOn like so:

task getCurrentFlavor() {
	// paste Poiana Apuana's answer
}

// OR
//task getCurrentVariant() {
//	// paste Poiana Apuana's answer
//}

task myTask(type: Copy) {
    dependsOn getCurrentFlavor
    // or dependsOn getCurrentVariant
    println "flavor name is $projectName"
    ...
}
preBuild.dependsOn myTask

Check original problem here.

A combination of aforementioned snippets was needed for me to get this to work.

My full answer to the original question would look like this:

android {
	...
	applicationVariants.all { variant ->
		task "${variant.getName()}CopyJar"(type: Copy) {
			from("build/intermediates/bundles/${variant.getFlavorName()}/release/")
		}
	}
}

This creates a <variant>CopyJar task for each variant, which you can then run manually.

You can make a check of flavours. Suppose your gradle is like

productFlavors {
        test{
            ...
            buildConfigField "String", "VARIANT", "\"test\""
        }
        prod{
            ...
            buildConfigField "String", "VARIANT", "\"prod\""
        }
}

Now by using the below code you can check your flavour.

if (BuildConfig.FLAVOR.equals("test")){
    // do what you need to do for the test version
} else {
    // do what you need to do for the prod version
}
