I'm adding some components to a library module manifest file. Apparently it is possible to use the ${applicationId}
placeholder even though I have not declared it in the library's build.gradle file. The only place it is declared is in the main module's build.gradle.
So I though if I added a custom placeholder to the main module it would also work.
In short: this seems to work:
Library's AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity android:name="${applicationId}.LibraryActivity" ...>
Main module's build.gradle:
defaultConfig {applicationId "package.name.here"...
But this does not:
Library's AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity android:label="${customPlaceholder} ...>
Main module's build.gradle:
defaultConfig {manifestPlaceholders = [customPlaceholder:"Foo"] ...}
Is there a reason one works but not the other?
Yes! We can do it!
Just add the code to library's build.gradle:
manifestPlaceholders = [
customPlaceholder: '${customPlaceholder}'
]
