Question

I am able to get the correct api_key.txt on debug builds because that is a buildType . However I am unable to get this working with the productFlavor amazon .

I've tried doing this in my build.gradle file which compiles but it will not actually reference the correct file at run time:

sourceSets {
amazon {
  assets.srcDirs = ['app/src/amazon/assets']
}

Here is my folder structure:

How can I reference api_key.txt in the amazon/assets folder when my product flavor is amazon ?

All help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Answer 1

Based on this https://developer.android.com/studio/build/build-variants document you want this type of hierarchy structure of your application. Remove assets.srcDirs from all build flavours and you can try with this kind of structure.

buildTypes {
  release {
    // ... the usual stuff here
  }
  releaseAlt {
    // .. the usual stuff here too like signing config etc...
  }
}

file hierarchy You should have like :

project/
- app/
 - src/
  - main/
   - assets/
    - logo.png // Generic assets go here
   - java/
   - res/
   - ...

  - flavor1/
   - assets/
    - logo.png // Specific assets for all the flavor1 Variants

  - release/
   - assets/
    - logo.png // Specific assets for all the releaseAlt Variants.

  - flavor1Release/
   - assets/
    - logo.png // very specific assets for the flavor1ReleaseAlt Variant
- SDK/

I think you should write "src/amazon/assets" instead of "app/src/amazon/assets".

sourceSets {
amazon {
  assets.srcDirs = ['/src/amazon/assets']
}
