AndroidResources

fun additionalParameters(params: String): Unit

Adds additional parameters to be passed to aapt.

fun additionalParameters(vararg params: String): Unit

Adds additional parameters to be passed to aapt.

fun noCompress(noCompress: String): Unit

Adds a file extension of Android resources, assets, and Java resources to be stored uncompressed in the APK. Adding an empty extension (i.e., noCompress('')) will disable compression for all Android resources, assets, and Java resources.

fun noCompress(vararg noCompress: String): Unit

Adds file extensions of Android resources, assets, and Java resources to be stored uncompressed in the APK. Adding an empty extension (e.g., noCompress('')) will disable compression for all Android resources, assets, and Java resources.

val additionalParameters: MutableList<String>

List of additional parameters to pass to aapt.

These are passed to every AAPT2 resource link invocation for this module. For application and dynamic-feature modules that includes the link that produces the Android App Bundle, as well as the one that produces the APK, so parameters that remove resources affect the bundle too.

This is the supported way to target a single screen density, now that the screen density support in BaseFlavor.resourceConfigurations is deprecated:

android {
    androidResources {
        additionalParameters += ["--preferred-density", "hdpi"]
    }
}

Note that this also removes the other densities from the bundle, which is rarely intended, since a bundle is normally expected to contain every density so that density-specific APKs can be generated from it.

var failOnMissingConfigEntry: Boolean

Forces aapt to return an error if it fails to find an entry for a configuration.

See aapt --help

var ignoreAssetsPattern: String?

Pattern describing assets to be ignored.

This is ignoreAssetsPatterns joined by ':'.

val ignoreAssetsPatterns: MutableCollection<String>

Patterns describing assets to be ignored.

If empty, defaults to ["!.svn", "!.git", "!.ds_store", "!*.scc", ".*", "<dir>_*", "!CVS", "!thumbs.db", "!picasa.ini", "!*~"]

val noCompress: MutableCollection<String>

File extensions of Android resources, assets, and Java resources to be stored uncompressed in the APK. Adding an empty extension (e.g., setting noCompress '') will disable compression for all Android resources, assets, and Java resources.
