Dependencies can be added for a specific product flavor, similar to how they can be added for specific build configurations.
For this example, assume that we have already defined two product flavors called free
and paid
(more on defining flavors here).
We can then add the AdMob dependency for the free
flavor, and the Picasso library for the paid
one like so:
android {
...
productFlavors {
free {
applicationId "com.example.app.free"
versionName "1.0-free"
}
paid {
applicationId "com.example.app.paid"
versionName "1.0-paid"
}
}
}
...
dependencies {
...
// Add AdMob only for free flavor
freeCompile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
freeCompile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.4.0'
freeCompile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
// Add picasso only for paid flavor
paidCompile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
}
...
