Setting versionNameSuffix in gradle buildType dynamically

Question

The main issue is that I would like to add a versionNameSuffix to one of my buildTypes depending on the flavor that is being compiled.

I have to flavors, original and free and one buildtype beta. So I would like to do something like this:

beta {
    //...
    versionNameSuffix " [BETA " + betaVersion() + "] "
}

And betaVersion() should depend on the flavor that is being compiled, it should just return a different integer for each of them.

Answer 1

I found a way of doing this looking at the gradle StartParameter():

def betaVersion() {
    Gradle gradle = getGradle()
    String  tskReqStr = gradle.getStartParameter().getTaskRequests().toString()

    if(tskReqStr.contains("Free"))
        return 1;
    else if(tskReqStr.contains("Original"))
        return 3;
}
