Mixing
how do i make Activity intentFilter action dynamic from strings.xml
I'm using different product flavours, and opening an Activity through intentFilter whose action is predefined as shown below.
<activity android:name=".MyActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.package.name.MyAction"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>For opening this activity I'm using :
Intent intent = new Intent("com.package.name.MyAction");
startActivity(intent);
Now, if my device have both product flavour apk, a chooser is coming for some device to open which activity app, for some devices it show a error no app found to perform the action.
As soon as I uninstall one app, and keep only one app in my device everything works fine.
One solution I thought to overcome is, to make the action constant as Intent intent = new Intent("com.package.name.MyAction"); dynamic. But I'm not sure how can I do this.
context.startActivity(intent);
Im AndroidManifest, it should be something as:
<action android:name="com.package.name.MyAction"+getString(R.string.product_name)/>This is the part where I'm unable to get the string in AndroidMaifest.
For opening the activity I have done:
Intent intent = new Intent("com.package.name.MyAction"+getString(R.string.product_name));
startActivity(intent);
Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

Just curious to know, why can't you maintain separatemanifestfiles for each flavors?

In your build.gradle (app), config your flavors like this:
productFlavors {
first {
// ...
manifestPlaceholders = [action: "com.package.name.ActionA"]
}
second {
// ...
manifestPlaceholders = [action: "com.package.name.ActionB"]
}
}
Then place the value of placeholder in AndroidManifest.xml file:
<activity android:name=".MyActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="${action}"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
In order to get the placeholder to open the activity, just get it through BuildConfig:
String yourAction = BuildConfig.action;
// start your intent here

@nhp this really helped thanks, However I find @kavin link more useful, so I have used that, since in my flavour I was already using applicationId, so instead adding aactionfield, I used thatapplicationId. Thanks @kavin and @nhp appreciated your help.
