Android Custom Channel Packages

Cloud packaging how to set channel packages

Select project —>Publish->Mobile App - Cloud Packaging，open “Cloud Package” window.

As the picture shows，

HBuilderX provides 7 channels by default (Google, 360, Xiaomi, Huawei, App Bao, vivo, oppo), and more can be found in the manifest.json file [Source Code View] to configure.

When submitting App to Google Play, the channel identifier must be set to google, that is, the google channel in the packaging interface must be selected, otherwise it will not be submitted to the play store

How to custom channels?

The default number of channels is not enough, want more channels? In manifest.json [source code view]， Root node adds channel_list field.

Note that it is the root node.

{
    "channel_list":[
        {
            "id":"",
            "name":""
        }
    ]
}

For example：

{
    "channel_list":[
        {
            "id":"chuizi",
            "name":"Chuizi App Store"
        }，
               {
            "id":"meizu",
            "name":"Meizu App Store"
        }
    ]
}

After configuration, the custom channel will be displayed on the channels parkages, and you need to tick it on when submitting the cloud packaging to take effect.

Configuration of offline packaging

Download the latest SDK, and add the following content to the application node of Androidmanifest.xml in the Android project.

<meta-data android:name="DCLOUD_STREAMAPP_CHANNEL"  android:value="{applicationId}|{appid}|{adid}|{channel}"/>

android:The value value is composed of four fields, separated by the ‘|’ symbol, each field description：

• applicationId package，corresponds to the applicationId in build.gradle in the Android project

• add DCloud’s advertising logo, which can be obtained from dev.dcloud.net.cn after the advertisement is activated. If the advertisement is not activated, the value can be set
• channel，Note: When submitting to Google Play, the channel ID must be set to google
