Variant

fun <T : Any?> getExtension(type: Class<T>): T?

Returns an extension object registered via the VariantBuilder.registerExtension API or null if none were registered under the passed type.

@Incubating
fun missingDimensionStrategy(
    dimension: String,
    vararg requestedValues: String
): Unit

Set up a new matching request for a given flavor dimension and value.

val buildConfigFields: MapProperty<String, BuildConfigField<Serializable>>

Variant's BuildConfigField which will be generated in the BuildConfig class.

val components: List<Component>

List containing this variant and all of its nestedComponents

Example:

androidComponents.onVariants(selector().withName("debug")) {
    // components contains the debug variant along with its unitTests, androidTests, and
    // testFixtures (if enabled).
    components.forEach { component ->
        component.runtimeConfiguration
            .resolutionStrategy
            .dependencySubstitution {
                substitute(project(":foo")).using(project(":bar"))
            }
    }
}

val experimentalProperties: MapProperty<String, Any>

Additional per variant experimental properties.

Initialized from com.android.build.api.dsl.CommonExtension.experimentalProperties

Values provided should not be based on a Task execution result, as most of these properties are read during configuration.

val externalNativeBuild: ExternalNativeBuild?

Variant's cmake ExternalNativeBuild, initialized by merging the product flavor values or null if no cmake external build is configured for this variant.

val manifestPlaceholders: MapProperty<String, String>

MapProperty of the variant's manifest placeholders.

Placeholders are organized with a key and a value. The value is a String that will be used as is in the merged manifest.

val maxSdk: Int?

Gets the maximum supported SDK Version for this variant.

val minSdk: AndroidVersion

Gets the minimum supported SDK Version for this variant.

val nestedComponents: List<Component>

List of the components nested in this variant, the returned list will contain:

• UnitTest component if the unit tests for this variant are enabled,

• AndroidTest component if this variant HasDeviceTests and android tests for this variant are enabled,

• TestFixtures component if this variant HasTestFixtures and test fixtures for this variant are enabled.

Use this list to do operations on all nested components of this variant without having to manually check whether the variant has each component.

Example:

androidComponents.onVariants(selector().withName("debug")) {
    // will return unitTests, androidTests, testFixtures for the debug variant (if enabled).
    nestedComponents.forEach { component ->
        component.instrumentation.transformClassesWith(NestedComponentsClassVisitorFactory::class.java,
                                       InstrumentationScope.Project) {}
    }
}

val packaging: Packaging

Variant's packagingOptions, initialized by the corresponding global DSL element.

val proguardFiles: ListProperty<RegularFile>

List of proguard configuration files for this variant. The list is initialized from the corresponding DSL element, and cannot be queried at configuration time. At configuration time, you can only add new elements to the list.

This list will be initialized from com.android.build.api.dsl.VariantDimension#proguardFile for non test related variants and from com.android.build.api.dsl.VariantDimension.testProguardFiles for test related variants.

val targetSdkVersion: AndroidVersion

Gets the target SDK Version for this variant.

val unitTest: UnitTest?

Variant's UnitTest, or null if the unit tests for this variant are disabled.
