How to get the build variant at runtime in Android Studio?

Issue

I'd like to get the build variant during runtime, is this possible without any extra config or code?

Solution

Look at the generated BuildConfig class.

public final class BuildConfig {
  public static final boolean DEBUG = Boolean.parseBoolean("true");
  public static final String APPLICATION_ID = "com.example.app";
  public static final String BUILD_TYPE = "debug";
  public static final String FLAVOR = "";
  public static final int VERSION_CODE = 1;
  public static final String VERSION_NAME = "";
}
