Is here anyway to access gradle ext properties in java code?

Question

This is project level gradle.build file:

 buildscript {
    ext {
        server_test = 'http://192.618..'
        server_main = "https://68.5..."
        another_value = "test"
    }

    ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.41'

....
....

I'm using these values in my app level gradle.build file.

Is there ay way to access these variables in my Java Project files also!.

What are you trying to access, be specific? There are plenty of things that can be accessed in different ways — Lakhwinder Singh, Jul 17 '19 at 06:54
It works, but not what I ask for, I'm asking in relation with my previou question .https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57004407/is-it-possible-to-pass-java-string-constants-to-gradle-file — pz64_, Jul 17 '19 at 06:58

using buildConfigFields in gradle (app level, not root level), you can :)

buildConfigField "String", "variable_name", "variable_value"

as a complete example :

  productFlavors {

    dev {
        dimension "your_dimension_name"

buildConfigField "String", "SERVER_TEST", "\"http://192.618..\""
buildConfigField "String", "SERVER_MAIN", "\"https://68.5...\""
buildConfigField "String", "ANOTHER_VALUE", "test"

    }

you can then access these variables throughout your project by using :

      BuildConfig.SERVER_TEST

Have a look at this link for a more complete answer if this didn't help :

if you are trying to explicitly access gradle extensions in java code, the answer is no: it's not possible, see this : Android - Read build.gradle properties inside class, and also see this Is it possible to declare a variable in Gradle usable in Java?
