Android Compile Time directive

I have an android application with different flavours.What I mean by flavours is that they differ only in their application name,icon and a url that webview in the application uses.

What I have now: Application 1 with app_name1 and icon1: { Code... myWebview.loadUrl(url1); code.. } Application 2 with app_name2 and icon2: { SameCode... myWebview.loadUrl(url2) Samecode.. }

What I would like to have :

Application(pick the application name and icon from build parameter): { Code .. my开发者_如何学JAVAWebview.loadUrl(pick the url from build parameter) Code.. }

Is this possible? This would be so good to have as I am manually copying any change that i do in either of the projects to the other and I am scared about how I would handle more than 2 "flavours".

You probably want to take a look at Library Projects. See for instance this blog post:

Library Projects allow you to share some whole parts of your applications, resources included. The main and immediate use is to create several versions of the same application.

You should in any case be using resources to refer to these things. So e.g

<application android:label="@string:app_name" android:icon="@drawable:icon">

in your AndroidManifest.xml, and

String rl = getString(R.string.url);

in your code.

Then you simply have to swap in the right res/values/strings.xml and res/drawable/icon.png, and change the name of your final apk.
