如何在 Gradle 中的 buildType 中设置版本名称

Question

I could set versioncode and versionname in flavors, but I like to set them in my build type. Is this possible in any way ?

defaultConfig {
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1"
}
buildTypes {
    specialversion {
        versionCode 2      // <--- Doesn't work.
        versionName "2"    // <--- Doesn't work.
    }
}

Answer 1

Here is a complete list of field, that can be modified in buildType . As you might see, there aren't fields, that you need. You might at best use versionNameSuffix .

This should be put inside productFlavors :

defaultConfig {
    productFlavors {
        specialversion {
            versionCode 2      // <--- Doesn't work.
            versionName "2"    // <--- Doesn't work.
        }
    }
}

I solved it the following way. Probably not recommended, but in my case its a good solution.

I replaced values in the AndroidManifest.xml with the use of manifestPlaceholders in my buildvariants

   buildTypes {
demo {
...
            manifestPlaceholders = [iconpath: "@drawable/icon", versionCode:"161", versionName:"2.37"]
        }
   }

and my AndroidManifest.xml has the following :

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="xxx"
    android:versionCode="${versionCode}"
    android:versionName="${versionName}"
    android:installLocation="auto">
