Android Studio: Check for a custom build type
What you can use in case you want to go for a custom build type and not a product flavor is:
if (BuildConfig.BUILD_TYPE.contentEquals("admin")) { // Do things related to the admin build type.}
You can look at your BuildConfig file. It is the file you will get after creating a build.
For your question. I think you should use BuildConfig.FLAVOR instead of BuildConfig.BUILD_TYPE. And remember their type are String, so don't need to convert to String with .toString()
Lastly, you should use string compare method. So, your code should be
if (BuildConfig.FLAVOR.contentEquals("admin")) { //Do some admin stuff here.}
Suppose you've
android {buildTypes { release { } debug { } canary { } beta { }}In code, you can check something like
import com.yourpackagename.BuildConfigif (BuildConfig.BUILD_TYPE == "canary") { Log.d("Build Type ","I'm canary") }
