You can use if-else constructs, as the compiler will leave out any
never reached peaces of code.
Define a var to check against:
public static final boolean FREE_VERSION = false;
and when you want to check:
if (FREE_VERSION) {
// This code won't end up in the final binary
} else {
// Only this will be there...
}
