ProperDroid is a gradle plugin plus an Android library that simplifies the way to config different variants on your project.

How ProperDroid stores

It gets information from your build.gradle file and writes it to a json file inside your assets folder. You can recover this information very easily later, on runtime.

Download and setup

Add these dependencies to your build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
        classpath 'com.jcminarro:properdroid-plugin:0.1.0'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'com.jcminarro.properdroid'

properdroid {
	properdroidvalues = [
	// ProperDroid Config
	]
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.jcminarro:properdroid:0.1.0'
}

Configure ProperDroid

ProperDroid works with the data located inside properdroid closure. properdroidvalues will have a list of different configurations and one by default, called default. You can use flavor name, build type name or variant name for the rest. Inside each configuration you can add as many key-value pairs as you want. Keep in mind that ProperDroid allows you to use the same key on different configurations and it will be overridden in the following order: default < flavor < buildType < variant

Here is an example with a String value to all variants and another that will be overridden only on release variants:

properdroid {
	properdroidvalues = [
		default: [
			projectName: "ProperDRoid",
			endpoint: "http://endpoint.dev"
		],
		release: [
			endpoint: "http://endpoint.dev"
		]
	]
}

There is an example with more options here

Usage

To use ProperDroid inside your app you need to get an instance of ProperDroid and ask it for the desired key.

ProperDroid properdroid = ProperDroid.with(context);
String projectName = properdroid.getString("projectName");
String endpoint = properdroid.getString("endpoint");

If you use git as your vcs, you should ignore every configuration file generated by ProperDroid, adding this line to your .gitignore file

# Ignore all ProperDroid generated file into your vcs
**/properdroid.json
