Where is BuildConfig.DEBUG?

Answer 1

I've just checked. It is generated here (in all your projects):

gen/package_name/BuildConfig.java

And contains the following:

/** Automatically generated file. DO NOT MODIFY */
package package_name;

public final class BuildConfig {
    public final static boolean DEBUG = true;
}

Answer 2

IntelliJ apparently doesn't support generation of this file. I use IntelliJ to edit my code but ant to compile it, and the BuildConfig stuff is being generated for me. So you could either wait for IntelliJ to produce an update which generates BuildConfig or switch to ant for compilation.

Answer 3

IntelliJ doesn't generate the BuildConfig java and class files.

I assume this function is provided by the ADT plugin for Eclipse, and isn't a part of the SDK tools/common build stuff.
