The Android code generator for your assets, fonts, colors, … — Get rid of all String-based APIs.

Using asset path string directly is not safe.

❌ Bad What would happen if you made a typo?

Glide.with(this)
            .load(Uri.parse("file:///android_asset/images/flower.png"))
            .into(imageView)


// The following assertion was thrown resolving an image codec:
// Unable to load asset: assets/images/flower.png

⭕️ Good We want to use it safely.

Glide.with(this)
            .load(Uri.parse(BuildAssetManager.IMAGES_FLOWER))
            .into(imageView)
