Hi guys,
I asked in the getting-started channel but probably the right place is this one. Any one can help me?
Thanks!

Are you using some android gradle plugin?

[Javier]

Like Android library?

[Stefano Longhi]

no, I never used it because I thought it was only for android app

[Javier]

really it is for android apps/libraries, but without it, you can't use buildConfigField. BTW I think you shouldn't use it if it is a web service

[Stefano Longhi]

in a web service app, what is a good approach to load environment variable in gradle and use after that in the app?

[no]

write the field to a java class

[Javier]

you can read enviroment variables from gradle

[Stefano Longhi]

yes, but I didn’t find a way to use these variables in the project

[Javier]

There is multiple approach, writing them in gradle.properties files, or in your system.

[Javier]

System.getenv("my_env_var")

I am not a backend dev, but maybe this is what you are trying to do https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40659986/maven-profiles-equivalent-of-gradle

[Stefano Longhi]

I think build these variables in the application is better, you have to share these information only during the build pipeline and not in all containers where the app runs

@Javier I look at it, thanks
