How to get Running Android Flavor Name in gradle script

Question

This time I have this problem, I am trying to get the current flavor in a gradle script. I have tried the answers given here How to get current flavor in gradle without luck.

I haven seen in some answers that they use

// Get all flavors
android.productFlavors.all { flavor ->
if (flavor.name.equals("flavorName")) {
    // do what you like
}
// ...
}

But also I didn't have any luck with that because i get the following error: > Could not get unknown property 'android' for task

So I don't know how to get the current flavor, any help will be very appreciated thanks!!!

EDIT: What I need to do is to execute a piece of code that is diferent for each flavor, my current idea is to know the selected build variant to do this in a task, but if there is any othe way to do this would be perfect.

Answer 1

I already posted a working solution here, that is:

The following function returns exactly the current flavor name:

def getCurrentFlavor() {
    Gradle gradle = getGradle()
    String  tskReqStr = gradle.getStartParameter().getTaskRequests().toString()

    Pattern pattern;

    if( tskReqStr.contains( "assemble" ) )
        pattern = Pattern.compile("assemble(\\w+)(Release|Debug)")
    else
        pattern = Pattern.compile("generate(\\w+)(Release|Debug)")

    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher( tskReqStr )

    if( matcher.find() )
        return matcher.group(1).toLowerCase()
    else
    {
        println "NO MATCH FOUND"
        return "";
    }
}

You need also

import java.util.regex.Matcher
import java.util.regex.Pattern

at the beginning or your script. In Android Studio this works by compiling with "Make Project" or "Debug App" button.
