Another related option would be to have two copies of the layout containing the MapView, one with the debug key and one with the production key, and use isDebug() to choose which one to load. You could even only maintain one copy and modify your build process to generate the other one on each compile. The advantage here is in minimizing the amount of layout-related Java code, which can get icky for dealing with landscape vs. portrait, multiple screen sizes, etc. What would be cool, but doesn't exist AFAIK, is a resource set qualifier for debug mode. The you could have values-debug/strings.xml with the debug key and values/strings.xml with the production key, and just reference the string resource in the layout file. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
