Different code in different build variant

Question

I have two build variants in my app, one is an standard app edition and the second one is a customization app.

productFlavors {
        customConfig {
            minSdkVersion 14
            applicationId 'es.com.custom'
            targetSdkVersion 22
            versionCode 3
            versionName '3.0.0'
        }
        standard {
            minSdkVersion 14
            applicationId 'es.com.standard'
            targetSdkVersion 22
            versionCode 3
            versionName '3.0.0'
        }

For the customization I have to implement new features, but just for the customization, so those new features will be not available on the standard version. I am not sure what i have to do.

1.- Two classes , one with the standard requirements and one with the custom requirements
2.- In the standard class do something like:

  if (getPackageName()==customConfig )
    // do the custom things
    else
    //do the standard things

Build variants are the result of Gradle using a specific set of rules to combine settings, code, and resources configured in your build types and product flavors. Although you do not configure build variants directly, you do configure the build types and product flavors that form them.

 if(BuildConfig.Flavor.equals("customConfig")) 
    {

    }
  else
   {

   }

You must create source directories for each flavor. So you will be able to maintain a separate file for the specific flavor.

You can do this in one simple way. You should have a folder named "standard" right now in your project. Just create another folder named "customConfig" (Or it might have been created once the gradle synchronizes) in the same folder where the "standard" folder is.

In your "customConfig" create another folder called "res" (Again you might have it already). Then create another folder "values". In "values" folder you can create your value file. Name the file 'values.xml' and return back to your project. You "values.xml" file should be like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
     <string name="custom_app_id">es.com.custom</string>s
</resources>

Now in your code you can check which variable environment you are in:

 if (getPackageName().equals(getString(R.string.custom_app_id)))// for custom
// do the custom things
else
//do the standard things

Hope this help!
