如何使用Android'flavor'strings.xml

Question

I have an app which will have free and paid versions. I can successfully created 'flavors' in the build.gradle and created new folders under 'src'.

I have added a strings.xml to each flavor.

src/flavor1/res/values/strings.xml

src/flavor2/res/values/strings.xml

It is one bool:

<resources>
    <bool name="FullVersion">false</bool>
</resources>

One flavor is true, one is false. I don't have this same 'bool' in my 'strings.xml' under the main folder.

I am trying to reference this in a layout in the main folder to determine if something is enabled or disabled.

Looks like this is what has been confusing me. You're right. It does work however, my enabled shows an error and the preview won't render because of it. It does work though

Answer 1

Use android:enabled="@bool/FullVersion" .

That being said, you might wish to move this resource to a bools.xml file, or at least out of strings.xml , to simplify your translation work.

Answer 2

I found the problem here. I needed to define more information in my 'flavors':

minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1

Everything works now.
