abiFilters is set in android build.gradle defaultConfig block.

I'd like to exclude x86 from release buildType, but can't find an easy way to do it

Here is the build.gradle:

defaultConfig {

    ndk {

        abiFilters "armeabi", "x86"

        moduleName "cipher_v1"

        cFlags "-DRELEASE=1"

        if (rootProject.ext.has("testCrack")) {

            cFlags += " -DTEST_CRACK"

        }

        if (project.ext.has("authKey") && project.ext.has("androidId")) {

            cFlags += "-DAUTH_KEY=\"" + project.ext.authKey + "\""

            "-DANDROID_ID=\"" + project.ext.androidId + "\""

        }

    }

}



buildTypes {

   release {

        ndk {

            abiFilters "armeabi"

        }

    }

}

Here is what I get:

unzip -l base-release.aar|grep cipher

17752  02-01-1980 00:00   jni/armeabi/libcipher_v1.so

17640  02-01-1980 00:00   jni/x86/libcipher_v1.so

Here is what I really want:

unzip -l base-release.aar|grep cipher

17752  02-01-1980 00:00   jni/armeabi/libcipher_v1.so

I'd like to keep a full abiFilters in the defautlConfig block

And specify ones in certain buildType

EDIT 1:

Yes, removing the defaultConfig and setting abiFilters in both debug & release block would work. But my question is how to utilize the defaultConfig

android {

    buildTypes {

        debug {

            ndk {

                abiFilters "armeabi", "x86"

            }

        }

        release {

            ndk {

                abiFilters "armeabi"

            }

        }

    }

}

productFlavors also would support dimension abi.

Feeding a command line option, e.g. "no_x86"

1. 
   

   Add below to your app/build.gradle

   
   
   

   defaultConfig {
   
       ndk {
   
   
   
           ...
   
           if (project.hasProperty("no_x86")) {
   
               abiFilters "armeabi"
   
           } else {
   
               abiFilters "armeabi", "x86"
   
           }
   
   
   
           ...
   
       }
   
   }
   
   

   
   


2. 
   

   Use below command to generate the APKs without x86 ABI by feeding option no_x86 to the command.

   
   
   

   ./gradlew assemble -Pno_x86
   
   

   
   
   

   but don't feed option no_x86 to the command if you want to build APKs with x86 abi. As the defaultConfig is to keep a full abiFilters per your requirement.

   
   
   

   For certain buildType, you can invoke the corresponding build command by feeding or not feeding the -Pno_x86 property. E.g. ./gradlew assembleRelease -Pno_x86

Thanks to Martin, I found a workable solution from this:

when defaultConfig would only have armeabi configured and build-type debug would then add x86, this might work out

I realize that adding wanted abi to debug is a workaround for removing unwanted abi for release

Works For Me

defaultConfig {

    ndk {

      //abiFilters "armeabi", "x86"

        abiFilters "armeabi"

    }

}



buildTypes {

    debug {

        ndk {

          //abiFilters "armeabi", "x86"

            abiFilters "x86"

        }

    }

    release {

        //ndk {

        //    abiFilters "armeabi"

        //}

   }

}
