Not sure what's wrong with your configuration but about your need, I would do it differently.

In the gradle build file you can use the buildConfig keyword to add a specific line to the BuildConfig.java generated class.

So you could add do something like that in your build.gradle :

    release {
        buildConfig "public static final String USE_REPORTING = true;"
    }
    debug {

        buildConfig "public static final String USE_REPORTING = false;"
    }

And so have only one PlayerEnvConfig with

public static final boolean USE_REPORTING = BuildConfig.USE_REPORTING;

Or even no more PlayerEnvConfig and use directly the BuildConfig class.
