Can I exclude regional resources (e.g. values-fr) when building a particular Android Product Flavor with gradle

Question

Say I have this directory structure:

app
--src
   |--main
   |   |--java
   |   |--res
   |       |--drawable
   |       |--values
   |       |--values-fr
           


        

Answer 1

The final working solution is to include a language - in this case, only German (de):

productFlavors {
    flavour3 {
        resConfigs 'de' // include '-de' resources, along with default 'values'
    }
}

As a reference, you can also check the list of country codes from ICU here.

Answer 2

You can exclude those folders by using this snippet:

sourceSets {
  flavor3 {
    main {
      resources {
        srcDir 'res'
        exclude '**/values-fr/**'
      }
    }
  }
}
