Disable Firebase in development mode in Android

Question

I am using Firebase in my android project. Wanted to know how to disable it in development mode. All crashes and usage/events are being logged and messing up with actual analytics.

Any better way to disable this in development mode?

Checkout https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/configure-data-collection?platform=android

<meta-data android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated" android:value="true" /> 

To do this automatically add the following line to manifest:

 <meta-data         android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated"         android:value="@bool/FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_DEACTIVATED"/> 

Set different value of boolean for debug and release in your app/build.gradle

buildTypes {     debug {         resValue("bool", "FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_DEACTIVATED", "true")     }     release {         resValue("bool", "FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_DEACTIVATED", "false")     } }
