Is it possible to use some external reference or variable in build.gradle files?
I have several build.gradle files in my app source files, including the one for module app , module base , module player , etc. (it depends on the structure of your code and the names of your packages).
Inside of each of these files is the following or similar structure:
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 23
targetSdkVersion 28
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0.001"
}
Is there any way I can code this the way that I don't have to change these values in every file? Is it possible to use some external reference or variable and that way I can edit my versionCode , versionName , etc. just on one place?
In your Project gradle
ext {
minSdkVersion = 14
targetSdkVersion = 26
compileSdkVersion = 26
buildToolsVersion = '26.0.2'
// App dependencies
supportLibraryVersion = '26.1.0'
mockitoVersion = '1.10.19'
roomVersion = "1.0.0"
}
In your App gradle
android {
compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion rootProject.ext.minSdkVersion
targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion
.
.
}
}
dependencies {
// App's dependencies, including test
compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:$rootProject.supportLibraryVersion"
}
You can define variables in top level build.gradle
file and then reference these variables in each module's build.gradle
- that way youll be changing them only once in one file.
to give you an example,this is top level file https://github.com/Ejstn/android-starter/blob/master/build.gradle and this one is module level file: https://github.com/Ejstn/android-starter/blob/master/app/build.gradle
You can also declare whole dependency as variable like in this google's app: https://github.com/google/santa-tracker-android/blob/master/build.gradle
Go to File/Project structure/app/flavors then you can get versionCode, versionName, etc then change them what you want and it effects all of your Files.
Yes it is.
In your project-level Gradle config (the one in the root of your project, outside any module folders), you can define variables under the buildscript
block:
ext.thisVersionCode = 1
ext.thisVersionName = "1.0.001"
Then you should be able to reference them from your module-level configs:
defaultConfig {
versionCode = rootProject.ext.thisVersionCode
versionName = rootProject.ext.thisVersionName
}
