Android Studio gradle buildConfigField setup

Question

I was looking through and open source application here and saw this line of code in this file:

buildConfigField "String", "DRIBBBLE_CLIENT_ID", "\"${dribbble_client_id}\""

How does something like this work, mainly where or what is ${dribble_client_id} stored or defined?

Thanks

@user7790438: That question and answers cover the syntax of `buildConfigField`, not where `dribble_client_id` comes from. — CommonsWare, Apr 15 '17 at 23:26

That could be defined in any of the gradle.properties files:

In the module root
In the project root
In the Gradle home (e.g., ~/.gradle on Linux and macOS)

There's also a syntax for using environment variables to inject values like that, but that approach didn't use to work with Android Studio, and I am not aware that it now does. It would work for command-line builds (e.g., CI servers).

I think that there is a command-line switch approach as well for defining properties like these.

Personally, I use gradle.properties.

Looking at gradle.properties file that seems to be the case in the app I mentioned. Thanks! — rycirese, Apr 15 '17 at 23:29
