Would it be possible to remove the flavors from the libraries and split each flavor into a separate project, and then tie up your dependencies like that? A flavor does seem like it's just a way to have separate projects without having to make separate directories and build scripts, but it also comes with some limitations. I ran into these limitations myself when using multiple flavor dimensions, so I kept separate projects for the main dimension.
My POV is similar to Kiran's. I actually recently converted all of my builds to gradle due to increasing frustration with Eclipse, ADT, and ant. The Android tools team is focusing on Android Studio going forward and this is where the future lies. >From the viewpoint of a team, I would recommend keeping the build system as modern and as simple as possible, even if at the expense of some short term pain, because one day you're going to have new heads looking at that and the more complex it is, the more they won't understand it and the more afraid they'll be to touch it, let alone bring it over into a new build system. I still have some horrible memories of the several thousand-line ant build script we used at one of the places I worked at. :P On Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at 7:42:44 PM UTC-5, Greg Macdonald wrote: > > There seem to be an awful lot of issues yet with Android Studio and we are > considering switching tools to eclipse/ant until AS/gradle is really really > ready for production use.
