Where should I save configuration data for Android backend

Question

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have little experience developing applications. I am developing my own application that makes an ajax call for my backend (public API). My question is: Where should I save the configuration for ajax call? At the moment, I created my own static class called ConfigData, and in my application I call this class as

ConfigData.apiUrl

And in my ConfigData class I have

public static String apiUrl= "www.mysite.com/public/api";

But is there a better method?

Answer 1

One possible way is to use buildConfigFieldin the build.gradle file

productFlavors {
    development {
        ....
        buildConfigField "String", "API_URL", "\"www.mysite.com/public/api\""
    }
}

Then you can access it through BuildConfig.API_URLin code
