How do I retrieve val from gradle.properties and apply it with buildConfigField


Below doesn’t work, I mean BASE_URL is not detected.

buildTypes.forEach {
        it.buildConfigField("String", "BASE_URL", BASE_URL)
        it.buildConfigField("String", "BASE_PLAYER_URL", BASE_PLAYER_URL)
        it.buildConfigField("String", "ACCESS_TOKEN", ACCESS_TOKEN)
    }

gradle.properties

BASE_URL = "url"
BASE_PLAYER_URL = "url"
ACCESS_TOKEN = "token"

Your question isn't clear.

Could you post your gradle.properties?

If you are trying to retrieve properties from the gradle.properties file in your build.gradle.kts you can look here. https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/tree/master/samples/project-properties

@snowe thanks, updated the question

[snowe]

yes, ok, so you are doing what I thought. Kotlin doesn't dynamically add the variables like groovy. Follow the above link and see how they do it.

Yeah, I checked this one but couldn’t make it. Let me give it a try once again. Thanks!

[snowe]

yours would look something like val BASE_URL: String by project though I don't know if it works with all caps variables.

ahh silly me, as it seems, a config was an obstacle, now I’ve fixed it. Thanks for your time!

[snowe]

of course.
