Different resurse for builds

How can I configure gradle.build to build two different android apk. First one to debug or test with first type of resurse folder (for example, with strings.xml) and second one with other strings.xml for release (for example, with real urls)?

This is solved by build flavors.

This is one of many blog posts on the Internet about this: http://tulipemoutarde.be/2013/10/06/gradle-build-variants-for-your-android-project.html

thanks, that is what i need, i red about it, but i dont understand how it use in past, but how can I build

definite flavors only?

Set up some flavors, then run ‘gradle tasks’ you’ll see ‘assemble’ tasks (and others) for each flavor.

thanx

oh, one more tiny question, I have two builds, but when I tried to change AndroidManifest.xml for staging version I got an error that gradle can’t merge this file, does it mean that I can’t change AndroidManifest.xml?

Some things can be merged and some can’t. I suggest running the build with the ‘-s’ flag to get more information about what is going wrong.

The plugin cannot merge classes. I suspect you have the same class duplicated in different flavor and build type source directories.
