ConfigJson

A gradle plugin for getting java constant from JSON config files for Android.

This plugin generates java config from json files and then in the java code these configs can be used as just any other public static final fields, with all the benifits of having static analysis and compilation.

Usage

1. Add the following to your build.gradle

   buildscript {
      ...
      dependencies {
         classpath 'com.aamirabro:configjsonplugin:0.9.3'
      }
   }
   
   // in app.gradle file
   apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
   apply plugin: 'com.aamirabro.configjson'

   alternatively, you can use the new plugin syntax for gradle 2.1+

   plugins {
      id "com.aamirabro.configjson" version "0.9.3"
   }

2. Create json config files and tell ConfigJson to use them

   In app folder create config.json

    {
      "SOME_KEY" : "default value"
    }

   Config json support getting Config from multiple files, config_debug.json

    {
      "SOME_KEY" : "default value"
    }

3. Upadte gradle file use those config files

   ext.configJsonFiles = ['config.json']
   ext.configJsonPackage = 'com.your.package' // this is where the ConfigJson.Java file will be generated.
   android {
   ...
     buildTypes {
       ext.configJsonFiles = ['config_debug.json']
     }

4. Use config just as any other constant field

    class MainActivity extends Activity {
      @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          Log.i("config", ConfigJson.SOME_KEY);
      }
    }
