Config for specific gradle flavor combination

Question

I am wondering if it is possible to supply files or configuration settings for a specific flavor group combination. For example, I have 2 flavor groups, with 2 different flavors each:

Flavor Group: Version

• v2
• v3

Flavor Group: Type

• free
• full

When ordered "Type", "Version" I am able to build 4 different flavors of my app:

• FreeV2
• FreeV3
• FullV2
• FullV3

And my source tree looks like this:

/src
    /free
        /res
    /full
        /res
    /v2
        /java
        /res
        AndroidManifest.xml (features and permissions for v2 flavors)
    /v3
        /java
        /res
        AndroidManifest.xml (features and permissions for v3 flavors)

This is exactly what I want, and works very well for my project. However, I wish I could provide files for a specific flavor group combination. For example, I want to provide different AndroidManifests for FullV3 and FullV2. I don't think this is possible, or? For example:

/src
    /free
        /res
    /full
        /res
    /v2
        /java
        /res
        AndroidManifest.xml (features and permissions for v2 flavors)
    /v3
        /java
        /res
        AndroidManifest.xml (features and permissions for v3 flavors)
    /fullv3
        AndroidManifest.xml (features and permissions for full v3 only!)
    /fullv2
        AndroidManifest.xml (features and permissions for full v2 only!)

I would be nice to be able to do this in the gradle build file as well:

productFlavors {
    free {
        packageName ...
        flavorGroup "type"
    }
    full {
        packageName ...
        flavorGroup "type"
    }
    v2 {
        packageName ...
        flavorGroup "version"
    }
    v3 {
        packageName ...
        flavorGroup "version"
    }
    fullv2 {
        ...  <-- specifically for the full-v2 combination
    }
    fullv3 {
        ...  <-- specifically for the full-v3 combination
    }
}

Note: one solution would be to only have 1 flavor group and define the 4 flavors explicitly:

• freeV2
• freeV3
• fullV2
• fullV3

However, this is not a viable solution for me since I would have to duplicate all the version specific code for the free and full flavors of each version.

This functionality was added in version 0.7.0 of the Android plugin for Gradle

You can now have a variant specific source folder if you have flavors.

• Only for app (not library or test). Name is src/flavorDebug/... or src/flavor1Flavor2Debug/
  • Note the camelcase naming, with lower case for first letter.
• Its components (res, manifest, etc...) have higher priority than components from build type or flavors.
• There is also a "flavor combination" source folder available when more than one flavor dimension is used. For instance src/flavor1Flavor2/
  • Note that this is for all combinations of all dimensions.
  • Its priority is higher than single-flavor sourcesets, but lower than build-types.
