lint error caused by google-services.json

[tgillon]

Hi,

I added all the required dependencies to my project in order to work with   com.google.gms.google-services.

As I understand the following file: google-services.json is supposed to add some entries to values.xml:  

default_web_client_id

gcm_defaultSenderId.....

I get lint error while trying to build the project about this values , that they appear to be unused.

Is there a way to prevent the json file from adding these values?

Thanks,

Tali

Hey Tali,

There is not currently a way to disable the creation of certain resources by the google-services plugin.  If this is a big blocker for you, you can read the documentation here to see how the plugin works and maybe modify the JSON file to stop this, but I don't think it will be worth the effort.

Hi,

How come I get a lint error for : unused resource?

Am I supposed to use the values in the generated xml file?

Is there anyone else who got this lint error?

Thanks,
Tali

The google-services plugin takes the json file and creates a set of string resources that you may need in your app (database URL, api key, etc).  However at the time when those resources are created there's no way to know which of them you will actually use in your app, so that's why you're getting some errors about unused resources.

I personally have not gotten this error, which might mean that you have stricter lint settings than I do.
