I have a project tree (a Solution in terms of Visual Studio) with some Executable and AAR library modules.

I need to get something like this in their build.gradle files..

buildTypes {
    release {
        //if not exist :- create extra folder in standard or customised output folder 
        //with the name 'Release'
        //say builder to put the release build version into this folder with
        //names ModuleName.aar or .apk
    }
    debug {
        //if not exist :- create extra folder in standard or customised output folder
        //with name 'Debug'
        //say builder to put the debug build version into this folder with
        //names ModuleName.aar or .apk
    }
}

I've spent 2 days looking for a documentation how to do that.. I found just fragmentary parts of some specific settings, which ain't interesting now.

Actually, I want to get the same behaiviour of the compiler and builder as it's in Visual Studio

ProjectBuildDir\Debug\ModuleName.aar

ProjectBuildDir\Release\ModuleName.aar

Please, if you know, this would be very good to share that knowledge..
Otherwise.. I think I'll spend whole week without success.. or refer to full documentation of how to program gradle build code.

UPD: I've seen such kinds of solution, but it makes my project structure unreadable by AS. It denies to sync project with its gradle.. it hides Tool window "Build variants".. it hangs on AS itself.. :) Maybe it happens because it's applied to Module (AAR library)? I don't know.. I just also unable to compile and build the release version :) I can see debug but whem I change variamt in that Tool Window in front of the AAR-Module name - then run Rebuild (Clean and Sync..) - there is no any realease in the output folder. And I can't find the description of this meta language.. I use the AAR as Android UserControl library - extended View.. because it's handy to develop it as separate module.. simply faster.. I am the Android-kid, but MicroSoft-man :) need to see the logic of the project meta data language..
