ext variables with flavor doesn't work with multiple dimension

Question

I have the same structure as the code below and I want to put prefix to the applicationId and suffix without dots and use the applicationId value at the end within the gradle file.

I don't want to use applicationIdSuffix because it add dots automatically and I can't get it's value on gradle neither the complete applicationId.

flavorDimensions "type", "version"

productFlavors.all {
       ext.appIdPrefix = "com.example"
       ext.appId = ""
       ext.appIdSuffix = ""
    }

productFlavors {

        flavor1 {
            dimension "type"
            appId = ".flavor1"
        }

       full {
            dimension "version"
            appIdSuffix = "Full"
        }
}

productFlavors.all  {
     applicationId appIdPrefix + appId + appIdSuffix
}

Now when I run my app with "flavor1full" the applicationId is "com.exmaple.flavor1" only and doesn't get the value of appIdSuffix

How I can solve that ?

Answer 1

Instead of changing app ID for each flavor, try to iterate over applicationVariants:

applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    def flavors = variant.productFlavors
    variant.mergedFlavor.applicationId = flavors[0].appId + flavors[1].appIdSuffix ;
}

This will iterate through every combination of flavors twice because of the two build types. See also Multi-Dimension Flavor ApplicationId

Also note a typo in your question: appIdSuffix "Full" should be appIdSuffix="Full"
