Android Gradle flavor to have less language support than Main

Question

I want to have 3 product flavors, and one of them will have less language support than Main. For example, only support /values-fr. Is there a filter function in Gradle? Thanks.

Answer 1

From Android Gradle Build System, since version 0.7.0:

• New option on product Flavor (and defaultConfig) allow filtering of resources through the -c option of aapt
  • You can pass single value (resConfig) or multiple values (resConfigs) through the DSL.
  • All values from the default config and flavors get combined and passed to aapt.
  • See "basic" sample.

In the "basic" sample:

defaultConfig {
    ...
    resConfig "en"
    resConfigs "nodpi", "hdpi"
}

So, try the following to achieve what you asked for:

productFlavors {
    ...
    frOnly {
        resConfig "fr"
    }
    ...
}

Note that you might also want to include *dpi, port, land, etc.. as well
