You can run a release APK on the emulator (and you should be for testing any configurations you don't have a device for before publishing your app). And running on a device IS NOT the same as running in release. You can (and should) run a debug APK on a real device while you're developing it.

The easiest and most straightforward way to check for "debug mode" is the debuggable attribute in your manifest that has been mentioned about 50 times now, which Bob posted a link to so you can check it at run time. All you have to do is check for that one flag. That's it. You should be running in debug mode (i.e., "debuggable=true") about 99% of the time. When you're ready to publish your app, it takes about 1 SECOND to switch that flag to "false" before you rebuild your app for a release version. This is so easy and happens so infrequently, that it really, truly IS NOT WORTH THE EFFORT you're spending trying to find some clever trick to determine this automatically. THAT'S IT. Why is that so flipping complicated to understand? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
