cordova - Building combined armv7/x86 apk after Crosswalk integration in an Ionic project

Question

I have added Crosswalk to my ionic project. When i do ionic build android it outputs two separate APK files, one for armv7 and one for x86.

However i want one single apk file bundling two architectures together.

I tried setting BUILD_MULTIPLE_APKS = false but it's still building two separate apks.

There is a post here saying :

Took me a minute but you can get the single build file by commenting out the cdvBuildMultipleApks=true line in the platforms/android/gradle.properties

Cheers

But i don't have any gradle.properties file in my platforms/android/ folder, i have a project.properties file and there is no cdvBuildMultipleApks=true line in it to comment out.

I tried to manually create a gradle.properties file and putting cdvBuildMultipleApks=false in there but still two outputs.

Any ideas how to achieve this?

Update:

My Cordova version is 5.1.1

Solution:

What did work for me as suggested by @mudasserajaz and here, was to :

1. Create a file named build-extras.gradle inside my /platform/android/ directory.
2. put ext.cdvBuildMultipleApks=false inside it.
3. ionic build android --release then and Voila, it worked.

@mudasserajaz suggested the same thing except variable name is cdvBuildMultipleApks=false so in case it didn't work out for you, don't forget the ext

Answer 1

Well I just changed my config.xml following property to false and it combined the build apk.

from

<preference name="xwalkMultipleApk" value="true"/>

to

<preference name="xwalkMultipleApk" value="false"/>
