Using BuildConfig.FLAVOR with android databinding

Question

I have used below code in my layout file to change two different view visibility according to flavor type of the application. I haven't seen any problems with debug build but i believe there is an issue with release build because I have been reported that both views are visible on the test release. Any idea why would this happen?

                    <Switch
                        android:id="@+id/configuration_main_network_switch"
                        style="@style/networkSelector"
                        android:visibility="@{BuildConfig.FLAVOR.equals(`xxxx`) ? View.GONE : View.VISIBLE}"
                        android:text="@{configurationMainNetworkSwitch.checked ? @string/network_configuration_main_wifi_enabled_button : @string/network_configuration_main_wifi_disabled_button}" />

                    <TextView
                        android:id="@+id/configuration_main_network_switch_gone"
                        style="@style/networkSelector"
                        android:visibility="@{BuildConfig.FLAVOR.equals(`xxxx`) ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE}"
                        android:text="@string/network_configuration_main_wifi_enabled_button"/>

Answer 1

Import the required data-types first:

<data>
    <import type="com.acme.BuildConfig"/>
    <import type="android.view.View"/>
</data>

Then they can be referenced in data-binding statements:

android:visibility="@{ BuildConfig.DEBUG ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE }"

I can also get the product flavor:

android:text="@{ BuildConfig.FLAVOR }"

Maybe the string being compared to doesn't match?
