colors.xml and multiple module

Question

I have 3 modules (common, app1, app2) in the common module I've a layout that I want to be black in app1 and white in app2.

Layout.xml

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="top"
        android:baselineAligned="false"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:padding="16dp"
        android:background="@color/myColorBackground"
        android:weightSum="4">
...

App1 colors.xml

<ressources>
   <color name="myColorBackground">#fff</color>
</resources>

App2 colors.xml

<ressources>
   <color name="myColorBackground">#000</color>
</resources>

When I try to build the app I got a crash. Is there a solution to use colors like this ?

What's the reason of crash. Please add stack trace – Md. Asaduzzaman Dec 06 '19 at 12:47 — Md. Asaduzzaman, Dec 06 '19 at 12:47

when using Modules you need the add the same file in every flavour Or use Common file in main module and override the specific file in required Module.

I've found a workaround by adding the <color name="myColorBackground"/> in my common module, now everything is working properly
