I recently merged 4 similar but independent apps into one gradle project and setup gradle to use build variants for deploying each one independently. Because I've merged these projects that were previously independed, I needed to rename some packages, including the package for the launcher activity. In order to preserve the launcher links for my current user base, I wanted to use an activity-alias to point the old launcher links to the new launcher activity. So far so good. However, since I have multiple build variants, I need several different aliases to link back to the new launch activity. I looked into gradle's new manifest merging solution and looked into using placeholders for the alias name, however, when I drop the placeholder under the alias, it refuses to aknowledge the right package.
Below is the activity-alias from my manifest and the gradle build file. I need to find a way to insert the package name for each build variant into the alias for each build I do. com.stuart.android.main is the common package among all flavors and is the location of the new launch activity. Any help is appreciated! *Manifest* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; package="com.stuart.android.main" android:installLocation="auto"> <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:allowBackup="true" android:theme="@style/appTheme"> <activity-alias android:name=".SelectModeActivity" android:targetActivity="com.stuart.android.main .SelectModeActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity-alias> </application> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="19"/> </manifest> *build.gradle* productFlavors { flavor1 { packageName "com.stuart.android.flavor1" } flavor2 { packageName "com.stuart.android.flavor1" } flavor3 { packageName "com.stuart.android.flavor1" } flavor4 { packageName "com.stuart.android.flavor1" } } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "adt-dev" group.
