How to Set Different Applicationid for Each Flavor Combination Using Flavordimensions

How to set different applicationId for each flavor combination using flavorDimensions?

I finally managed to solve this. I think the solution is elegant (although the actual code could most likely be written a lot nicer by someone with groovy knowledge).

Solution for setting a specific applicationId for each combined flavor:

flavorDimensions "price", "dataset"

productFlavors {
    free { flavorDimension "price" }
    paid { flavorDimension "price" }
    dataset1 { flavorDimension "dataset" }
    dataset2 { flavorDimension "dataset" }
}

android.variantFilter { variant ->
    def flavorString = ""
    def flavors = variant.getFlavors()
    for (int i = 0; i < flavors.size(); i++) {
        flavorString += flavors[i].name;
    }
    if(flavorString.equalsIgnoreCase("freeDataset1")) {
        variant.getDefaultConfig().applicationId "com.beansys.freeappdataset1"
    }
    if(flavorString.equalsIgnoreCase("freeDataset2")) {
        variant.getDefaultConfig().applicationId "com.beansys.freedataset2"
    }
    if(flavorString.equalsIgnoreCase("paidDataset1")) {
        variant.getDefaultConfig().applicationId "com.beansys.dataset1paid"
    }
    if(flavorString.equalsIgnoreCase("paidDataset2")) {
        variant.getDefaultConfig().applicationId "com.beansys.mypaiddataset2"
    }
}

How to set different applicationId for each flavor combination using flavorDimensions when using Gradle Kotlin-DSL?

Google added the variants API with the Android Gradle Plugin 7.0.0. With it we can alter the applicationId.

android {
    flavorDimensions.addAll(listOf("price", "dataset"))

    productFlavors {
        create("free") { dimension = "price" }
        create("pro") { dimension = "price" }
        create("dataset1") { dimension = "dataset" }
        create("dataset2") { dimension = "dataset" }
    }
}

androidComponents {
    onVariants { variant ->
        val applicationId = when(variant.flavorName) {
            "freeDataset1" -> "com.beansys.freeappdataset1"
            "freeDataset2" -> "com.beansys.freedataset2"
            "proDataset1" -> "com.beansys.dataset1paid"
            "proDataset2" -> "com.beansys.mypaiddataset2"
            else -> throw(IllegalStateException("Whats your flavor? ${variant.flavorName}!"))
        }
        variant.applicationId.set(applicationId)
    }
}

Note that it is probably better to use a task to determine the applicationId.

Setting the applicationId in gradle for a combined product flavor

Use it

android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    def mergedFlavor = variant.mergedFlavor
    switch (variant.flavorName) {
        case "freeUs":
            mergedFlavor.setApplicationId("com.application.id.freeUs")
            break
        case "freeDe":
            mergedFlavor.setApplicationId("com.application.id.freeDe")
            break

    }
}
