remove logging from release apk file using gradle

Question

I am trying to remove logging from the release apk file. I followed the advice of using BuildConfig.DEBUG variable, which will be true for debug builds and false otherwise.

In a Constants file, I have:

public static final LOG_ENABLED = BuildConfig.DEBUG;

And then I check the variable before logging.

if(Constants.LOG_ENABLED){
   // print Log
}

Then, in the gradle build file, I have added android

{ buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled true shrinkResources true } } } . I then ran gradle assembleRelease, but the logging still remains inside the apk file?

Can someone kindly show me the error of my ways?

很抱歉参加晚会，但是：

• 现在通常我会选择this solution

• 在您的代码段中，我认为您可能必须明确使用boolean类型：
  

  public static final boolean LOG_ENABLED = BuildConfig.DEBUG;

使其正常工作，如以下其他答案：[1]，[2]

• 历史上BuildConfig.DEBUG;受known issues-也受with libraries-的影响，例如here都可以找到Eclipse和Android Studio的解决方案

希望有帮助
