Use GitHub secrets in your Android App

Alright I am gonna get straight to the point.

• Add 'app/src/main/res/values/secrets.xml' and 'app/src/main/res/values/secrets.xml~' in '.gitignore' file.
• Create 'secrets.xml' file in 'app/src/main/res/values' path.
• Add the following code in 'secrets.xml' :

  	<resources>
  	<string name="API_KEY">YOUR_KEY_HERE</string>
  	</resources>

  view raw secrets.xml hosted with ❤ by GitHub
• Add the following code to your 'activity.kt' file:

  val secret = getString(R.string.API_KEY)

  view raw main.kt hosted with ❤ by GitHub
• Add the following code under steps in your workflow file rite before build step:

  	- name: Access Api keys
  	env:
  	apiKey: ${{ secrets.API_KEY }}
  	path: app/src/main/res/values/secrets.xml
  	run: |
  	touch $path
  	echo \<resources\> >> $path
  	echo \<string name=\"API_KEY\"\>$apiKey\</string\> >> $path
  	echo \</resources\> >> $path

  view raw access-secrets-android.yml hosted with ❤ by GitHub
• Finally, add the secret to your GitHub repository with key “API_KEY”.
• That’s it. You are good to go.
