Separating Android.mk file for each flavor

Question

I’m using Android Studio and Gradle.

There are some flavors that having a little differrent views and features.

So, for each flavor, I want to switch Android.mk1 file.

ex)

flavorA -> Android_flavorA.mk
flavorB -> Android_flavorB.mk

but, in externalNativeBuild and ndkBuild block, couldn’t dynamically change a path of Android.mk.

Anybody know about this?

Rather than having separate makefiles you could pass the product flavor to your makefile:

In app/build.gradle:

productFlavors {
    flavor1 {
        externalNativeBuild {
            ndkBuild {
                arguments "PRODUCT_FLAVOR=flavor1"
            }
        }
    }
    # etc...
}

In Android.mk:

ifeq (flavor1,$(PRODUCT_FLAVOR))
    # Do flavor-specific stuff
endif

I suppose the Do flavor-specific stuff-part could be an include if your flavor-specific parts are very large.

I am not seeing the make file ran for each flavor though, my arguments never show up and the make file is only ran for each abi – Nathan Schwermann May 10 '19 at 20:22
