Android Gradle error while using environment variables

I am using the below code in my gradle file to fetch a username and password which I have added in the environment variables of my computer.

def uname = System.getenv("USERNAME")
def pwd = System.getenv("PASSWORD")
buildConfigField "String", "USERNAME", uname
buildConfigField "String", "PASSWORD", pwd

It gives me the error shown in screenshot while I try to run the app. This is a screenshot from BuildConfig.java auto generated file. It shows, the username and password is being picked up correctly by gradle, but a syntax error while using it? I am posting the error message screenshot. Is there a problem defining and using variable this way in gradle? Any help to resolve this is much appreciated

The BuildConfig file is missing quotes around those strings. Try this in your build.gradle instead:

buildConfigField "String", "USERNAME", '"' + uname + '"'
buildConfigField "String", "PASSWORD", '"' + pwd + '"'
