Part 7: Advanced Configuration and Tips

7.1 Custom build variants

  1. Product Flavors：

android {
    flavorDimensions "environment", "version"
    productFlavors {
        free {
            dimension "version"
            applicationIdSuffix ".free"
        }
        paid {
            dimension "version"
            applicationIdSuffix ".paid"
        }
        dev {
            dimension "environment"
            applicationIdSuffix ".dev"
        }
        prod {
            dimension "environment"
        }
    }
}

  • This will generate combination variants such as: devFree, devPaid, prodFree, prodPaid

  • Variable specific resources：

    • Create a specific source set directory:
src/
├── dev/
│   ├── java/
│   ├── res/
│   └── 
├── prod/
│   ├── java/
│   ├── res/
│   └── 
└── main/  # Shared resources

Variable specific dependencies：

dependencies {
    devImplementation ':leakcanary-android:2.7'
    prodImplementation ':leakcanary-android-no-op:2.7'
}

  • run:./gradlew assembleRelease appDistributionUploadRelease

7.3 Advanced debugging skills

  • ADB Advanced Commands：
  • View specific application logs:
adb logcat -s MyAppTag
  • Simulate key press events:
adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_HOME

Screenshot:

adb exec-out screencap -p >

  1. Android Profiler：

    • CPU Profiler: Analyze thread activity and method tracking
    • Memory Profiler: Detect memory leaks and allocations
    • Network Profiler: Monitor network requests
    • Energy Profiler: Analyze power consumption

  2. Layout Inspector：

    • “Tools"→"Layout Inspector”
    • View view hierarchy in real time
    • Check view properties and resources

7.4 Multi-environment configuration management

  1. Using BuildConfigField：

android {
    buildTypes {
        debug {
            buildConfigField "String", "API_URL", '"/api"'
        }
        release {
            buildConfigField "String", "API_URL", '""'
        }
    }
}

  • Accessed in the code:BuildConfig.API_URL

  • Resource placeholder：

android {
    defaultConfig {
        manifestPlaceholders = [appName: "MyApp"]
        resValue "string", "app_name", "MyApp"
    }
    productFlavors {
        free {
            resValue "string", "app_name", "MyApp Free"
        }
        paid {
            resValue "string", "app_name", "MyApp Pro"
        }
    }
}

External configuration file：

  • Createdocument
  • Read at build time:
def config = new Properties()
file("").withInputStream { (it) }
android {
    defaultConfig {
        buildConfigField "String", "API_KEY", ("")
    }
}
