We are using Jenkins to make our builds. We would like to switch boolean value in release build. Is it possible? Maybe it's better option to do this?

In C you could just define a value by passing -D and you call gcc -DUSE_ASD=1 asd.c

#ifdef USE_ASD
int debug = 0;
#else
int debug = 1;
#endif

This is not a problem anymore. With update of Android platform tools this type of flag was added.

You don't generally do this sort of thing in Java. You would more usually do something like establish a system property to control debug state.

static final boolean DEBUG = !Boolean.valueOf(System.getProperty("use.asd"));

And then set it on the command line when running Jenkins; I don't know the details of how to edit Jenkins's runtime but it amounts to adding -Duse.asd=true to the java command.

  • But in Java You pass it runtime whereas in C it is set during compile time. Additionally we can't pass those arguments to JVM since we are using Dalvik VM and Android application package file (APK). – pixel Nov 18 '11 at 10:41
  • Yeah that's indeed a difference. There isn't a preprocessor in Java, really. You could use an Ant task to copy a template .java file, replacing some token with a true or false, and then compile -- faking a preprocessor with an Ant copy task? – Sean Owen Nov 18 '11 at 11:09

In Java, you can ask the compiler to generate debug tables using the -g option. For a release you might actually want a -g:none. This can be controlled either -
