android - It is possible to get a .aar with a Product flavor -

i work on big project @ work, have been herited 3 months ago. @ moment project structure :

• engine : library entire code (all java classes) extern libraries
• app : android project wrapper have 2 declinaisons-flavor of app (different name , icon commercial purpose). engine lib integrated app.

additionnaly, build engine .aar 1 client use library without app wrapper.

my big problem : last developepr of project dont know gradle , android structure, strange res added twice in engine , app/ build script / extern lib added twice...

so, before work on new major version, want refator build system , simplify ! in best world, want delete lib project, add engine code app, have 1 project app , use power of flavors managing specifics parts.

if have flavors :

• one
• two
• lib

it possible use flavor "lib" .aar ?

if have solution simplify or resolve problem, im over. in advance :)

having, has described it, single application module outputs both .aar , .apk not possible afaik, module has library or application, not both. (i.e. in build.gradle : apply plugin: 'com.android.application' or 'com.android.library').

my guess here (android studio 1.5.1) :

• a single android studio project,
• two modules, 1 library module , 1 application module (file -> new... -> new module... -> 1 "android library" , 1 "phone or tablet module")
• in app module, 2 flavors branding.
• integrate library module app module dependency (in app build.graddle dependencies section : compile project(path : ':yourlibrarymodule'))

your ressources can either stored either in library (usable in lib , app without duplication), in app in main flavor (usable in 2 flavors without duplication) or in 2 flavors.

therefore, can produce .aar building library module, , 2 .apk building app module.
