// flutter_env_native
+Project flutter_env_native = project(':flutter_env_native')
+apply from: "${flutter_env_native.projectDir}/envConfig.gradle"

Usage in android manifest file #

📂 android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

DO NOT OMIT ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CHANGES

defaultConfig {
        // TODO: Specify your own unique Application ID (https://developer.android.com/studio/build/application-id.html).
        applicationId = "tech.mastersam.flutter_env_example"
        // You can update the following values to match your application needs.
        // For more information, see: https://docs.flutter.dev/deployment/android#reviewing-the-gradle-build-configuration.
        minSdk = flutter.minSdkVersion
        targetSdk = flutter.targetSdkVersion
        versionCode = flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
        versionName = flutterVersionName

+       resValue "string", "app_name", APP_NAME ?: 'default_name'
    }

The above create a string resource with variable app_name set to the value of APP_NAME

<application
        android:label="flutter_env_example"
+       android:name="@string/app_name"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">

The above sets the android:name to the value of app_name in the string resource. The same applies for other .xml files.
