Override xml values with own local values

[mueller-ma]

Whenever I need to pruge the app data, I have to fill local url, user, password and remote url, user, password in order to have the app working. My idea was to have a file, which is ignored by git, that contains these information. Gradle will use these information to replace the default values.

This will be also usefull for google mapview api key.

Good idea. What about a QR code with the settings?
Users could create/view QR code on myopenhab.org with local and remote settings and print them (just like with the Fritz!Box) if they like.

Downside would be that the app then needs

• Camera permission (not critical anymore since this is nowadays a on-demand permission)
• QR parser and data handling

Good idea. The app could use an external app to scan and parse the code. Can you open a new issue for that as it differs from this requested feature?

Acutally this is quite dangerous as someone builds an apk and may share their password. So I'm closing this for now.
