You can create a properties file, put in under your app's folder and add it to .gitignore:
Example of content of a properties file called passwords.properties:
password1=123456
password2=qwerty
Under the plugin declaration in your build.gradle file, import the properties file and load it into a Properties object.
def passwordsPropertiesFile = rootProject.file("app/passwords.properties")
def passwordsProperties = new Properties()
passwordsProperties.load(new FileInputStream(passwordsPropertiesFile))
And in order to get a value use it inside your gradle file use:
passwordsProperties['password1']
If you need the values inside your application code, you can add the values to the BuildConfig either under the defaultConfig:
defaultConfig {
applicationId "some.app.id"
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 30
...
buildConfigField "String", "PASSWORD1", passwordsProperties['password1']
}
Or add it for a specific build type by setting the BuildConfig variable under buildTypes section:
buildTypes {
debug {
buildConfigField "String", "PASSWORD1", passwordsProperties['debug_password1']
}
prod {
buildConfigField "String", "PASSWORD1", passwordsProperties['prod_password1']
}
}
To use the value in your application code use:
BuildConfig.PASSWORD1
