Gradle for Beginners (Build Types, Product Flavors, Build Variants, Source Sets)

[@HiImMatthewN]

You sir is a gift from heaven for us Intermediate developers.

[@disgruntled_llama]

Why is it that ever time I go searching for an explanation of something in Android development I always seem to end up on this channel? Thanks for all of this information, Philipp! Danke Schoen!

[@mikec4220]

Hoooray! Finally ! This is soo important to learn as early as possible in your dev career and many of us fail to do so! Thanks a lot Philipp

[@Alchemist10241]

you're right, I've postponed learning Gradle till this video and I've suffered the consequences

[@dariusfathi5520]

After years of android development, finally I'm going to understand product flavors! Great work Thanks

[@trendystatuses161]

Just what I needed, thank you

[@devenderchaturvedi9903]

Best Gradle video ever. I'm desperately waiting for the next part in this series. Also, If we don't want to have 2 apks for free and paid features, instead we want to have it in one apk, and unlock paid feature modules on subscription basis. How to manage this use case? Please make a video on this. There's literally no video on it.

[@stephensiapno7361]

If that is your usecase, then you don't need to create a buildFlavor. You just need to create a different module to separate the concern for free and paid features.

[@devenderchaturvedi9903]

@@stephensiapno7361 Thanks. Sure I'll try the multi-modular approach.

[@haykmkrtchyan7093]

@@devenderchaturvedi9903 If it's one apk and it's in app subscription, just use the billing library with multi module I guess

[@Ahmed_Ataullah]

This is the best intro to Gradle

[@adcmjbe]

You do have a way of making complex concepts "almost" simple ;) Thanks for another great video ...

[@adeltarek9114]

I didn't watched it yet But of course I LIKED IT Because You decided to talk about something has a lack of resources, I appreciate it ❤️

[@shabari13]

Thank you for doing this..For a Gradle beginner, this is such a good start

[@dreablin]

Thanks, I faced with Flavors just 2 weeks ago on a new job :) It may be not 100% clear from this video, but you can use different res folders as well. Waiting for the next part!

[@TheChustek]

OP explanation Philipp, Good Job!

[@muhammadirvan8655]

Great explanation for beginner, its complicated sometime for new comers who learn Android Apps to know what is Gradle actually. thank you Philipp

[@PhilippLackner]

You're very welcome!

[@luke7551]

Gradle is most confusing thing when I start to learn Android development. Thank you so much for such useful content. I hope you will making tutorials on working with rich text formatting on typing.

[@masoudfallahpour3650]

Just a small correction. At 2:29 you say "package name" when highlighting the "applicationId" in the IDE. Package name is not the same thing as application ID.

[@amirhosseinparhizgar4528]

Nice one! waiting for next video on gradle. thank you Philipp

[@jamief123]

Thanks for this. Gradle is a bit of a mystery to me and I never really understood what it was doing.

[@PhilippLackner]

Hope it helped!

[@udaiti6784]

For Android instrumentation test with release build, what build configuration does gradle use? Specifically what proguard file does it use?

[@pandukaful]

Thank you for creating this video, it is so helpful mate.

[@augustocera574]

Thank you for this video Philipp!

[@axw-ei3fn]

This videos tutorials is very helpful to me .

[@CivoMT]

Great and easy to understand as always! Philip could you make a video with explanation of MVI architecture? Or Even some application with usage of this architecture? More and more companies are asking for MVI as it suit pretty well with jetpack compose. I think lot of people would appreciate it. Thank y :-)!

[@thishandleistaken.]

Great Idea, also I would like to see series or maybe a 3hour long video of him making a real app from absolute scratch (with setting up gradle, manifest file, all the implementations) and show the process of uploading it into play store

[@kkp559]

Did you read about Elmslie from vivid money? It’s good library to understand mvi flow

[@dawidtyburek]

This is an amazing MVI talk imho kzbin.info/www/bejne/homliZZ-hsp3gqc

[@TiagoDvl]

As always: super helpful! I would love to have more insights on how do you know what folder to choose from that long list when you type "test" or "testDebug".

[@PhilippLackner]

It's really just about deciding which build variant you have specific behavior or specific resources for and then picking the folder for that build variant. Usually, you either select the /java folder or /res folder depending on what differs for that variant. If you write tests for it, you of course choose the test or androidTest source set depending on the type of tests.

[@samsammaniamantap]

Thanks Phil, sekarang saya lebih mengerti tentang Flavors

thanks for sharing great knowledge sir. sir i created an app for multiple people from the same source with different name, themes, server and google's .json configuration file. the problem is when i update one i need to update others too. is there a why to create multiple apps from the same source with different name, themes, server and google's .json configuration file from one project with different source sets. thanks.

[@rapidretrovenue563]

does gradle HAVE to be in C drive? I need to move it to D, would that be possible? If so, how do I point to the directory? Thanks in advance everyone!

[@MrNDQuattro]

Thanks for the vid. Why would we need apks with different minSdk? Anyway we need to handle API check logic in code if we use new features.

[@PhilippLackner]

If a whole feature is only for a certain min sdk, you don't want to include all that code in an app which can't even use that feature

[@alihosseinnezhad2957]

Interesting. Thanks Philip 😊.

[@rafaelparanhos7435]

Is there a way to config a flavor with plugin com.android.application and other flavor with com.android.library. If so, how to config it?

[@alannelson4001]

Two questions: 1.) How do we define from where the implementations SDKs are pulled from? I know it's usually from maven repository but is it defined in the gradle someplace? 2.) Does anyone have any good resources for establishing a "bypassLogin" build that would have all mock data provided for all API responses?

[@niroshanrathnayake7002]

Really helpful. Good one. Thank You

[@TerryboyVictor]

On the Minimum SDK part, how do you then upload to the store targeting difference SDK if you can only upload one apk/bundle ? Or by building it packages both and on installing on individual device, it will target the device API and choose appropriately ?

[@erasmonepomuceno1983]

[@oxitroy]

I guess i'm missing something about products flavor and having one app that can have different minsdk ; If you have one product flavor with minSdk 21 and one with minSdk 18, when the app is released on store will it be available to phone with sdk 18 ? Even with product flavor you are forced to release 2 app with different minsdk, dont you? Great video as always

[@PhilippLackner]

yes, but you still have one code base instead of two

[@varshabhatia5487]

Nice video. Thank you. I have a question: For example in my project I have 4 variants/ product flavours. I have one file which is already created in main folder but I want to use the same file with extra code for different product flavours. So is that possible via source set? I tried it but it won’t work. Example: I have xyz class in main folder. I cretaed 4 product flavours in build.gradle. Now I want to use the same xyz file with some extra code. I tried to copy and pasted the same file into newly created sourceset folder with some extra connection. But it won’t work that way.

[@anandbehera1969]

Helpful Content.. Thanks

[@haykmkrtchyan7093]

Great tutorial. Just one more question. If we have some flavours, do we use source sets to implement the flavour specific functionality? Like one source set for the free app and one source set for the paid one?

[@amineayachi335]

what a great video thanks

[@chanikafernando4928]

Thank you for the cool video. I just encountered an issue after uograde to kotlin 1.6.10. i have fragments with tablayout and viewpager fragments. When i go to another screen and come back, it is not loading viewpager fragments. This happened after upgrading kotlin to 1.6.10. Do you have any idea why? Could you please help?

bro please help me my gradle wrapper build fails

[@footballCartoon91]

i want to learn MVVM but i dont understand the code you wrote in the build.gradle (project) .. because it involves buildscript object and allprojects object.. in my project it only contains plugins object..so that s why i am here

[@rubinho388]

in recent android studio versions the items in the gradle are displayed a little bit differently from olders version. If you want to add buildScript to your project level gradle just add it above the plugins block
