Question

So I’m trying to store some configuration values such as serviceUrl in a file, instead of hard-coding it in my code?

• Where is the proper place to store this information?
• Does android have some sort of configuration manager, or am I suppose to write my own config class that reads needed info from a file?

I ended up using java.util.properties along with AssetManager in andorid to read a properties file from assets directory.

AssetManager: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/AssetManager.html

Properties: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/properties.html
