How to configure debug and release log level for Retrofit?

I use Retrofit in my Android project. While developing I enable full log output for the RestAdapter as follows:

new RestAdapter.Builder()
    .setLogLevel(RestAdapter.LogLevel.FULL);

When I bake a release the log level is set to RestAdapter.LogLevel.NONE for obvious reasons.

I would like to automatically switch this setting based on the build/folder architecture:

.
├── app
│   └── src
│       ├── debug
│       ├── main
│       └── release

How can I move RestAdapter.LogLevel.FULL into app/src/debug and RestAdapter.LogLevel.NONE into app/src/release ?

A better way to do this is via the build.gradle file as such:

buildTypes {
    debug {
        buildConfigField 'retrofit.RestAdapter.LogLevel', 'RETROFIT_LOG_LEVEL', 'retrofit.RestAdapter.LogLevel.FULL'
    }

    release {
        buildConfigField 'retrofit.RestAdapter.LogLevel', 'RETROFIT_LOG_LEVEL', 'retrofit.RestAdapter.LogLevel.NONE'
    }
}

Then in code do this:

mRestAdapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()
    .setEndpoint("http://something.com")
    .setLogLevel(BuildConfig.RETROFIT_LOG_LEVEL)
    .build();

This way there is no check at runtime, only at compiletime

The easiest way is to use the BuildConfig.DEBUG flag, which is automatically set to true for debug builds and false for release builds.

I do this like so:

RestAdapter adapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()
    .setLogLevel(BuildConfig.DEBUG ? RestAdapter.LogLevel.FULL : RestAdapter.LogLevel.NONE)
