Boolean properties in gradle.properties file is read as string

Question

I am new to gradle. I have a boolean property in gradle.properties file. When I tried to access it, the property is set as string. The string property always seemed to be evaluated as true when the string is not null and not empty.

My gradle.properties looks like this

enableGradleApp=false 

and my settings.gradle looks like

if (enableGradleApp) { println 'Enabled core' } 

The message 'Enabled Core' is always gets printed.

Need some help please

I had the same problem, but I just converted it to boolean like this:

if (enableGradleApp.toBoolean()) {   .... }
