我们如何根据gradle中的buildType在Android应用程序中强制设置语言环境

Question

I want to use only english language in release build and multiple languages in debug build. I am able to achieve this using ProductFlavour but not with buildType.

productFlavors {
        english {
            resConfigs "en" 
        }
        french {
            resConfigs "en", "fr" 
        }
    }

I'm using resConfig.. but it cant be used under buildTypes. If i try using it under buildTypes, build fails and I'm getting below error:

Gradle DSL does not found: resConfigs()

Any help will be really appreciated

one more question in the same line. I have scenario, where I need to use default values only when QA_BUILD is false. My build.gradle looks like this:

debug { buildConfigField "boolean", "QA_BUILD", "false" } integration { buildConfigField "boolean", "QA_BUILD", "false" } release { buildConfigField "boolean", "QA_BUILD", "true" }

Answer 1

If you want to have only the default (English) values, and you want to control that through the build process you can exclude the localized folders (ie values-fr ) from the release build.
Just put the folders you only want to be compiled for debug in src/debug/...
