detecting the current build type of a project programmatically

Question

My Android project is using gradle build:

signingConfigs {
        debug {
            ...
        }

        release {
           ...
        }
    }

buildTypes {
        debug {
            ...
        }
        release {
          ...
        }
 }

I am wondering is there a way to detect the current build type in Java code of Android project? How to achieve this?

Answer 1

There are BuildConfig class in your project that contains app id, build type, flavors and other.
