java - NDK support with different Product Flavour

Question

I want different string value from ndk library. as i have two flavor demo and live I want value "hello I am from demo " for demo flavor and for live flavor i want "hello I am from live "

Here is my java file code

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    // Used to load the 'native-lib' library on application startup.
    static {
        System.loadLibrary("native-lib");
    }

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    // Example of a call to a native method
    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.sample_text);
    tv.setText(stringFromJNI());
}

/**
 * A native method that is implemented by the 'native-lib' native library,
 * which is packaged with this application.
 */
public native String stringFromJNI();

}

Here is my cpp file code

#include <jni.h>
#include <string>

extern "C"
JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL
Java_com_de_demo_ndk2_MainActivity_stringFromJNI(
        JNIEnv *env,
        jobject /* this */) {
    std::string hello = "hello I am from  demo";
    return env->NewStringUTF(hello.c_str());
}

this is my build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.de.demo.ndk2"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        flavorDimensions "default"
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        externalNativeBuild {
            cmake {
                cppFlags ""
            }
        }
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    productFlavors {

        demo
                {
                    // applicationId "com.readwhere.whitelabel.test"
                    //applicationId "com.android.rwstaging"
                    applicationId "com.android.demo"
                    versionName "2.1"
                    dimension "default"

                    externalNativeBuild {
                        cmake {

                            targets "native-lib-demo","my-executible-                   demo"

                        }}


                }
        live
                {
                    // applicationId "com.readwhere.whitelabel.test"
                    //applicationId "com.android.rwstaging"
                    applicationId "com.android.live"
                    versionName "2.1"
                    dimension "default"



                }}
    externalNativeBuild {
        cmake {
            path "CMakeLists.txt"
        }
    }
}

I have paste same cpp file in demo folder as well as in main folder but could achieve my task. Any help would be appreciate this are some refrence links

How to set CmakeLists path in product flavor for each Android ABI?

Answer 1

Probably, the minimal code to achieve your goal at compile time is to set cppFLags per flavor:

productFlavors {
  demo {
    applicationId "com.android.demo"
    versionName "2.1"
    dimension "default"

    externalNativeBuild.cmake {
      cppFlags '-DDEMO'
    }
  }
  live {
     applicationId "com.android.live"
     versionName "2.1"
     dimension "default"
    externalNativeBuild.cmake {
      cppFlags '-DLIVE'
    }
  }
}

and in your cpp file

#ifdef DEMO
  std::string hello = "hello I am from demo";
#endif
#ifdef LIVE
  std::string hello = "hello I am from live";
#endif

Or you can use stingify pattern as in this answer.

Naturally, your conditional compilation is not limited to string variation.
