Android Studio build configurations

Question

I'm wondering how to create different build configurations, having different constants for debug and release builds using Android Studio (things like, server addresses, API keys,…).

This really doesn't look like a duplicate of the indicated question. — cja, Dec 04 '13 at 12:13

Edit the build.gradle file in your module and add any of the following to your android{} container.

    signingConfigs {
        release {
            storeFile file("path relative to the root of the project")
            storePassword "PASSWORD!"
            keyAlias "projectname"
            keyPassword "PASSWORD!"
        }
    }


    buildTypes {
        debug {
            versionNameSuffix "-DEBUG"
            packageNameSuffix ".debug"
        }
        release {
            debuggable false
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release
        }
        debugRelease.initWith(buildTypes.release)
        debugRelease {
            debuggable true
            packageNameSuffix '.debugrelease'
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release
        }
    }

}

This adds 3 build types (release, debugRelease and debug)

both release and debugRelease use the same keys and debugRelease is a copy of Release.

It was not exactly what I was looking for, but it was enough to point me in the right direction. — Tiago Fael Matos, Jul 12 '13 at 01:27
