Build multiple (test/prod) versions of Android APKs in Eclipse

Question

I\'m looking to optimize generating of slightly different APKs of the same Android app, the only difference being the http API server it\'s using (dev/staging/prod).

Its not really what you want:

private static Boolean isSignedWithDebugKey = null;
    protected boolean signedWithDebug() {
        if(isSignedWithDebugKey == null) {
            PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
            try {
                PackageInfo pi = pm.getPackageInfo(getPackageName(), 0);
                isSignedWithDebugKey = (pi.applicationInfo.flags & ApplicationInfo.FLAG_DEBUGGABLE) != 0;
            }
            catch(NameNotFoundException nnfe) {
                nnfe.printStackTrace();
                isSignedWithDebugKey = false;
            }
        }

        return isSignedWithDebugKey;
    }

You could then hit a dev/staging server if the app is signed with a debug key, and production with a release certificate.
