How to change application colors with Flavors in Android

Question

In my application, I have 2 flavors, and I want to change the application's color (res/color) for each of this flavors!

Please see my code below at build.gradle file :

flavorDimensions "default"
productFlavors {
    app1 {
        applicationId "com.app.myApp1"
        resValue "string", "app_name", "App 1"
        manifestPlaceholders = [
                appIcon: "@drawable/logo_app1"
        ]
    }
    app2 {
        applicationId "com.app.myApp2"
        resValue "string", "app_name", "App 2"
        manifestPlaceholders = [
                appIcon: "@drawable/logo_app2"
        ]
    }
}

I don't know on setting the color.xml for each of this flavors!

How can this be possible?

Did you create a separate as below:

[Project Root]
  -[Module]
    -src
      -main
      -app1
        -res
          -drawable-*
            -logo_app.png
      -app2
        -res
          -drawable-*
            -logo_app.png

If you do it shold work on its own without needing to specify anything in the gradle file.

In your method, not needed change in gradle.build file? android studio how can know set this colors? – Dr Circle Mar 18 '20 at 09:34
You need to create a color folder in each of your flavor and puts the exact same name. For example in your 1rst flavor: `#000000` and in your 2nd flavor : `#FFFFF` – Biscuit Mar 18 '20 at 09:38
