I'm new in Flutter and I'm looking for something similar to generated BuildConfig class I know from classic Android development.
I'm using Gradle to generated some of the constants I need in my code.
I could find 2 BuildConfig files in my project, one in project/build/app/generated/source/buildConfig/projectName/BuildConfig.java and other one in library called shared_preferences-0.2.5/android/build/intermediates/classes/debug.io.flutter.plugins.sharedpreferences/BuildConfig.java.
I was able to write down a constant in first of BuildConfig, problem is, I cannot refer to it from my code.
What am I missing or doing wrong?
Flutter is not Android. BuildConfig has nothing to do with dart code.
So far, there's no such thing in flutter. What we currently do instead is having a different main.dart depending on the build mode.
For that you'll simply do flutter build apk --release -t lib/main.release.dart which will define lib/main.release.dart as your entry point to the application.
This way, you can instantiate a custom InheritedWidget that pass down configurations with different values depending on your build target.
