Exclude specific sub-modules from product build

Question

Okay, so I have different product flavors and I have different submodules. Right to implement submodule, I do this:

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation project(path: ':A-Android')
    implementation project(path: ':B-Android')
    implementation project(path: ':C-Android')
}

Is it possible to implement, for instance, submodule :A-Android only for specific product flavor? How?

Answer 1

Yes, can configure dependencies only for specific flavor. Here an excerpt from Declare dependencies documentation :

Declare dependencies

You can configure a dependency for a specific build variant or testing source set by prefixing the name of the build variant or testing source set before the Implementation keyword, as shown in the following example.

dependencies {
    // Adds the local "mylibrary" module as a dependency to the "free" flavor.
    freeImplementation project(":mylibrary")

    // Adds a remote binary dependency only for local tests.
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'

    // Adds a remote binary dependency only for the instrumented test APK.
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
}

For more information, see Add build dependencies.

So, if you have two flavors something like production and development flavor, then you can add the dependencies like this:

dependencies {
    productionImplementation project(path: ':A-Android')
    DevelopmentImplementation project(path: ':B-Android')

    ..
}
