Changing .BuildConfig package

Question

Is there a way to dynamically change the package of the generated file .BuildConfig?

I want to use build.gradle file to use the applicationId and change the package name between different builds.

Thanks

Btw what do you want to achieve? – Dramatization

I am building an app with dynamic package name and need programatically to find the BuildConfiguration file. I don't want to use flavours with different package names, only the package of the generated file to be under the dynamic applicationId (or any other flags needed) – Carafe

Answer 1

I had also ApplicationId or Package declared in AndroidManifest.xml

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" package="xxx">

Replacing xxx fixed my problem.

Answer 2

The applicationId field just changes the packagename in the manifest. All classes will be still in the original package.

Answer 3

Change code in: Build.gradle (module):

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.xxxxx.yyyy" <-----!!!
    minSdkVersion ?
    targetSdkVersion ?
    versionCode ?
    versionName ?
    multiDexEnabled true
}

After sync, APPLICATION_ID from BuildConfig has updated.

If you have problems with installation in emulator. Go to AVD Manager, and make STOP and Cold Boot Now.

If you want to change only for different builds, for example, release and debug, then add the following code to the build.gradle file:

buildTypes {
    debug {
        applicationIdSuffix '.dev'
    }
}

And this gives us when building will change and in the BuildConfig file.
