Android Gradle - Add packageNameSuffix on specific productFlavor

Question

I have a Gradle Android Project with this product Groups and Flavors configuration:

/*
 * Define different flavor groups
 */
flavorGroups 'market', 'version'

/*
 * Defile product flavors
 */
productFlavors {

    amazon {
        flavorGroup 'market'
    }

    google {
        flavorGroup 'market'
    }

    flav1 {
        flavorGroup 'version'
        packageName 'com.company.flav1'
    }

    flav2 {
        flavorGroup 'version'
        packageName 'com.company.flav2'
    }

    flav3 {
        flavorGroup 'version'
        packageName 'com.company.flav3'
    }
}

// .. Other stuff

It works great. All sources and resources are merged correctly. But for specific reasons I need the package suffix to be .amz for the amazon product flavor. How can I achieve that?

I tried this way:

amazon {
    flavorGroup 'market'
    packageNameSuffix '.amz'
}

but gradle throws an exception.

I once had a similar question, it may help: http://stackoverflow.com/q/18606152/2331953 — flx, Dec 06 '13 at 11:55
I read this before @fix. By the way helped me a lot, when I started with this project. But the problem is that I'm not adding any suffix, I need to add one. Preferably somewhere in the debug and release tasks. — Serj Lotutovici, Dec 06 '13 at 12:25

This is not possible at the moment. packageNameSuffix is strictly a property of Build Type.

I'd like to offer a way to customize the ProductFlavor's values for a given variant (ie a given combination of all flavor dimensions and of build type) but it's not possible at the moment.

Instead of a new dimension of flavor, you could do a "amzRelease" buildtype that extends the existing release buildtype and add a suffix.

If your current "amazon" flavor does more (configure versionCode/Name/etc...), it won't work though. You could then use both your amazon flavor and a amzRelease build type. It'll create a lot more variants than you need but it'd work until we have some better.

Thanks Xavier for your feedback. We decided to stick with same package name. This was required for our API to understand which users are accessing it, so I added a secret param as an workaround. Will be waiting for the plugin update. Your doing a great job, thanks. – Serj Lotutovici Dec 07 '13 at 13:07
i wanted to add - this is also required for our scenario. if there is any progress on this, it would be great. – Andreas Petersson Feb 24 '14 at 15:39

You could use a variant of the solution I've written about here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26585241/4177090

In short, you can find the combined variants using variantFilter and then update the appliciationId from there:

android.variantFilter { variant ->
    def flavorString = ""
    def flavors = variant.getFlavors()
    for (int i = 0; i < flavors.size(); i++) {
        flavorString += flavors[i].name;
    }
    if(flavorString.contains("amazon")) {
        variant.getDefaultConfig().applicationId variant.getDefaultConfig().applicationId + ".amz"
    }
}

This is not working atm because `applicationId` is read-only. – Franco May 14 '18 at 04:17

Working solution for gradle 1.0.0+:

android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    def flavorName = variant.getVariantData().getVariantConfiguration().getFlavorName()
    def mergedFlavour = variant.getVariantData().getVariantConfiguration().getMergedFlavor();

    if (flavorName.toLowerCase().contains("amazon")) {
        mergedFlavour.setApplicationId(mergedFlavour.getApplicationId() + ".amz")
    }
}
