在android eclipse中使用一个代码构建两个不同的apk

Question

I am still working with Eclipse to develop android applications. Now there is a situation where I am supposed to build 2 different applications (You can consider as free and non-free version apk) using same app-code. I have got thousands of links regarding build.gradle and application package-name and others on google, but I don't how to build/use it in Eclipse.

Another question I have is how to point to 2 different images based on different application.?

Answer 1

If you want to release two different build (paid and free). You need to change the package name. Just goto the manifest file. For example: for free version

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.android.free">

and similarly for paid version

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.android.paid">

Alternatively, I will recommend you to use In app purchase feature and release only build

Answer 2

Try this.. Is there any way to integrate Eclipse with Gradle in Android project? .. There is no simple answer for this question.. Either you use eclipse with gradle and set two flavours with different in your build.gradle

productFlavors {
    free {
        applicationId 'your.package.name.free'
    }
    paid {
        applicationId 'your.package.name.paid'
    }
}

or else just copy your project twice and change package name. If you want to upload both your apps in play store then you need two different package names.
