Yes  you will have no problems using   if  BuildConfig DEBUG         It s not a release version      Unless you are importing the wrong BuildConfig class  Make sure you are referencing your project s BuildConfig class  not from any of your dependency libraries

The simplest  and best long-term solution  is to use BuildConfig DEBUG  This is a boolean value that will be true for a debug build  false otherwise   if  BuildConfig DEBUG         do something for a debug build     There have been reports that this value is not 100  reliable from Eclipse-based builds  though I personally have not encountered a problem  so I cannot say how much of an issue it really is   If you are using Android Studio  or if you are using Gradle from the command line  you can add your own stuff to BuildConfig or otherwise tweak the debug and release build types to help distinguish these situations at runtime   The solution from Illegal Argument is based on the value of the android debuggable flag in the manifest  If that is how you wish to distinguish a  debug  build from a  release  build  then by definition  that s the best solution  However  bear in mind that going forward  the debuggable flag is really an independent concept from what Gradle Android Studio consider a  debug  build to be  Any build type can elect to set the debuggable flag to whatever value that makes sense for that developer and for that build type

Build IS DEBUGGABLE could be all right  It comes from  quot ro debuggable quot

Due to the mixed comments about BuildConfig DEBUG  I used the following to disable crashlytics  and analytics  in debug mode    update  app build gradle  android       compileSdkVersion 25     buildToolsVersion  25 0 1       defaultConfig           applicationId  your awesome app          minSdkVersion 16         targetSdkVersion 25         versionCode 100         versionName  1 0 0          buildConfigField  boolean    ENABLE CRASHLYTICS    true            buildTypes           debug               debuggable true             minifyEnabled false             buildConfigField  boolean    ENABLE CRASHLYTICS    false                    release               debuggable false             minifyEnabled true             proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile  proguard-android txt     proguard-rules pro                      then  in your code you detect the ENABLE CRASHLYTICS flag as follows       if  BuildConfig ENABLE CRASHLYTICS                   enable crashlytics and answers  Crashlytics by default includes Answers          Fabric with this  new Crashlytics             use the same concept in your app and rename ENABLE CRASHLYTICS to anything you want  I like this approach because I can see the flag in the configuration and I can control the flag

Alternatively  you could differentiate using BuildConfig BUILD TYPE   If you re running debug build BuildConfig BUILD TYPE equals  debug    returns true  And for release build BuildConfig BUILD TYPE equals  release    returns true
