如何使用相同的源代码但使用不同的资源构建不同的APK

Question

Mainly this is for branding. I hope to use different set of images and drawable resources for different clients.

What I hope to achieve is that when at build phase, I could select which resources pack I need to use, but leave the source code untouched.

I know I could just create multiple projects by copy and paste, or I could create one project but change the res folder everytime I build it. What I need help is that is there a more funcional way to achieve this task?'

Thank you!

Answer 1

Already done:

Use a project as a library, with all the drawables (default).

Create a project that uses this library with its own package name and app name. Add to it the same drawables (names) but branded (different content). These drawables will override those of the library!

Remember to add activities and all application components and permissions to the new manifest.

为此，您需要创建另一个Android项目，并使用ant将所有必需的资源复制到该项目并构建apk文件。

Try gradle with flavours and build type. You can achieve different set of apk in one build. Checkout http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Build-Variants
