Question

I have an android application with different flavours.What I mean by flavours is that they differ only in their application name,icon and a url that webview in the application uses.

What I have now:
Application 1 with app_name1 and icon1:
{
Code…
myWebview.loadUrl(url1);
code..
}
Application 2 with app_name2 and icon2:
{
SameCode…
myWebview.loadUrl(url2)
Samecode..
}

What I would like to have :

Application(pick the application name and icon from build parameter):
{
Code ..
myWebview.loadUrl(pick the url from build parameter)
Code..
}

Is this possible?
This would be so good to have as I am manually copying any change that i do in either of the projects to the other and I am scared about how I would handle more than 2 “flavours”.

You probably want to take a look at Library Projects. See for instance this blog post:

Library Projects allow you to share some whole parts of your applications, resources included.
The main and immediate use is to create several versions of the same application.
