Android Remote Config Library

A cool alternative for Google firebase remote-config library! Remote config the variables, appearance and the behavior of your app without publishing an app update. The library is based on Google Volley library.

Library retrieves the JSON file from https://github.com/gayanvoice/android-remote-config-library/blob/master/remote-config.json. To configure the data in the JSON file, you can fork the library and change the data in the JSON file.
