PorFlavor

What it is?

PorFlavor is the plugin for extending the android product flavors. When you use multiple dimensions you can not define unique build config fields or res values per flavor:

android {
    flavorDimensions 'brand', 'version'
    
    productFlavors {
        Brand1 {
            dimension 'brand'
        }
        Brand2 {
            dimension 'brand'
        }
        Brand3 {
            dimension 'brand'
        }
        Store {
            dimension 'version'
        }
        Staging {
            dimension 'version'
        }
    }
}

and you can not define unique field for Brand2Staging flavors. But with porflavor plugin you can!

Getting started

Add porflavor plugin:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven {
      url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
    }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "gradle.plugin.com.nikialeksey:porflavor-gradle-plugin:<latest>"
  }
}

And then apply it:

apply plugin 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.nikialeksey.porflavor'

android {
    flavorDimensions 'brand', 'version'
        
    productFlavors {
        Brand1 {
            dimension 'brand'
        }
        Brand2 {
            dimension 'brand'
        }
        Brand3 {
            dimension 'brand'
        }
        Store {
            dimension 'version'
        }
        Staging {
            dimension 'version'
        }
    }
    
    porflavor {
        Brand1Store {
            buildConfigField "boolean", "fooFeatureEnabled", "false"
            resValue "string", "appName", "App"
        }
        Brand1Staging {
            buildConfigField "boolean", "fooFeatureEnabled", "false"
            resValue "string", "appName", "App Staging"
        }
    }
}
