The Firebase API for RemoteConfig has several methods for assigning config values by namespace, eg (setDefaults(R.xml.rc_defaults, "Namespace")). I've got this to work in terms of separating config values by namespace on Android, but how to do I set those values by namespace on the Firebase Console for remote updating?

Where is the Namespace assigned?

I experienced the same problem with you. So, I asked google Firebase team.

Here's the reply mail.

Hi there, Sorry for the late reply. Currently we don't have any custom namespace feature available. However, we are aware of the use case and we are actively working on it but I can't share any timelines at the moment.

Keep an eye out on our release notes for any further updates.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks

I hope this answer is little helpful to you :)

I work on Firebase Remote Config team.

As Safa mentioned, Namespaces were only designed for internal usage & are not meant for setting user assigned values. We have begun the process of deprecating the namespace usage from the SDK. Hence I would request not to use them in production code.

We are working on introducing namespaces via another mechanism. Will update this thread once that's ready.

Thanks!

Namespaces are intended for introducing future Google services that leverage Remote Config to provide a feature. They are not meant for setting user assigned values.

  • This seems to be in conflict with the statement from the Firebase team as noted by the answer from @WoorazilBoy. Can you verify where you got this information? – JCricket Jul 16 '16 at 01:58

    Not quite sure where @WoorazilBoy got his information but I assure you that what I am saying here is correct. We will make sure that this is reflected in our documentation soon. – Safa Alai Jul 16 '16 at 06:22
  • Ok, it sounds as if you are part of the Firebase team(?), but I couldn't verify that. If this gets updated in the documents, let me know and I'll change this to the accepted answer. Until then, @WoorazilBoy's reference seems to be an e-mail from the Firebase team. – JCricket Jul 17 '16 at 21:40
  • Yes. I'm part of the team. We'll get the docs updated soon and I will respond here. – Safa Alai Jul 18 '16 at 03:21
  • Hey @SafaAlai, just curious where are we at on this? – Scott Wood Apr 23 '19 at 13:59
  • @ScottWood .. see answer by Mayank Jain for update. (I'm no longer working on Firebase). – Safa Alai Apr 29 '19 at 16:56
