Gradle build won't find the apikey.properties file in root folder-CodePudding

I am trying to add a apikey.properties file with some client id and secrets in order to fetch a token.

Problem I run into after tring the example given by Victory in this thread: Where to keep the OAuth client credentials on Android

I run into this issue when trying to build:

Build file 'C:\app root\app\build.gradle' line: 7

A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> C:\app root\apikey.properties (The system cannot find the file specified)

build.gradle(:app):

...
def apikeyPropertiesFile = rootProject.file("apikey.properties")
def apikeyProperties = new Properties()
apikeyProperties.load(new FileInputStream(apikeyPropertiesFile))
...

...
 // should correspond to key/value pairs inside the file
        buildConfigField("String", "scope", apikeyProperties['scope'])
        buildConfigField("String", "client_id", apikeyProperties['client_id'])
        buildConfigField("String", "client_secret", apikeyProperties['client_secret'])
        buildConfigField("String", "grant_type", apikeyProperties['grant_type'])
...

apikey.properties file:

scope=xxx
client_id=xxx
client_secret=xxx
grant_type=xxx

Not sure what I am doing wrong here, any help appreciated !

Try this.

gradle file..

    Properties properties = new Properties()
    if (rootProject.file("apikey.properties").exists()) {
        properties.load(rootProject.file("apikey.properties").newDataInputStream())
    }
    def mapsApiKey = properties.getProperty("MAPS_API_KEY")
     defaultConfig {
 buildConfigField("String", "MAPS_API_KEY", "\"$mapsApiKey\"")
}

apikey.properties..
