I've got a project, structured like this:
project/ | |---src/ |---flavorA2/ | | | |---java/ | | |---com.abc.flavorA.mk2 | | |-----classA.java | | |-----classB.java | |---res/ | |---AndroidManifest.xml | |---main | |---java/ | | |---com.abc.flavorA | | |-----classA.java | | |-----classB.java | | |-----classC.java | | |-----classD.java | |---res/ | | |---drawable/ | | |---layout/ | | |---values/ | | | |---AndroidManifest.xml | |---flavorA flavorA will use the source and assets from main completely while flavorA2 has some small changes in classA and classB and the package name is also changed to com.abc.flavorA.mk2.
I had the build.gradle file like this:
... buildTypes { release { runProguard false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt' } } productFlavors { flavorA2 { packageName "com.abc.flavorA.mk2" versionCode 2 versionName "1.0.1" } flavorA { packageName "com.abc.flavorA" } } ... I run the code by selecting the build variant to flavorA2. However the running results shows that the gradle still choose the classes (classA and classB) from main instead of using the changed version inside flavorA2.
Am I missing something here?

123 let's go Simply put, a product flavor is a variant of your app. It is very useful when you want to create multiple versions of your app. This means you can generate different versions or variants of your app using a single codebase.
A flavorDimension is something like a flavor category and every combination of a flavor from each dimension will produce a variant. In your case, you must define one flavorDimension named "type" and another dimension named "organization".
Since you have the classes under 2 different packages, these are totally different classes. So the classes aren't replacing each other.
With flavors, you can't override class files. So, one way to accomplish what you want is move these classes out of main, and into flavorA.
So you would have something like this:
project/ | |---src/ |---flavorA2/ | | | |---java/ | | |---com.abc | | |-----classA.java | | |-----classB.java | |---res/ | |---AndroidManifest.xml | |---main/ | |---java/ | | |---com.abc.flavorA | | |-----classC.java | | |-----classD.java | |---res/ | | |---drawable/ | | |---layout/ | | |---values/ | | | |---AndroidManifest.xml | |---flavorA/ | |---java/ | | |---com.abc | | |-----classA.java | | |-----classB.java This way, whenever you pick a flavor, only one version of ClassA and ClassB will be visible.
