I've implemented google login and published App on Play Store. But after app published on play store Google Login doesn't work and I found solution for this problem i.e. copy SHA-1 key from Play Console and replace Google Api SHA-1 key with it. And after that app working fine but above mentioned Security Alert message is appears.

The problem is how you declare and you the API key inside your code. It's not advisable to use it as plain text hard-coded in Java code, however you could store it in strings.xml resources.

Assuming that you store in it that way:

<string name="api_key">Your key</string>

Then in Java code get it like:

context.getResources().getString(R.string.api_key)
