Execute a custom task for all product flavors

[Vaibhav Vishal]

Here is what I am trying to do - 

I have a task which should run before android's `process<flavorName><buildType>Resources` task for which dependency is set as below :

myTask >> {

// use the output of mergeResources task and do something with it before execution of process task

}

tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->

  //if task name matches `process<flavorName><buildType>Resources`

task.dependsOn myTask

}

This works well in case I have only one flavor. But in case of more than one flavor, this happens only for the last flavor which is added.

I want myTask to execute for all the flavors. How can I achieve this ?

Do you create one instance of you task per variant? If not, it will run only once.

No, I did not create multiple instances of task. There is only one instance as shown in my post above.

How to create more than one instance of a task ?

You will have to do something like this:

android {

  applicationVariants.all { v ->

    def myTask = tasks.create("custom" + v.name) << {

       // do stuff

    }

 

    myTask.dependOn v.assemble

    // or myTask.dependOn tasks.getByName("assemble" + v.name.capitalize)

  }

}
