Hi Antoine
Your point is valid, in the old days of the N9 Simulator I was able to
write code to detect the simulator vs real device.
But should it be necessary?
Why should we need to detect a difference between an Emulator /
Simulator, and a real device?
Probably because of weaknesses in the Emulator / Simulator.
In my humble opinion, it would be much better if the Emulator was so
good that from an app developer's point of view there is no difference
when running on an Emulator vs a real device.
I know that by it's very nature an Emulator cannot do everything a
real device can (GPS, Sensors, Camera, LED etc. spring to mind), but
the N9 Simulator was a good example of what is possible in this area.
Indeed the only reason that I was forced to write code to detect the
N9 Simulator was due to differences in font sizing.
Therefore I think Jolla's effort is best spent on providing an
emulator that closely matches a real device, and in providing
appropriate plugins / tools to plug the few remaining gaps (e.g a GPS
simulating plugin).

Zitat von "Artem Marchenko" :
You can propagate C++ knowledge to QML, Antoine
For example setContextProperty #ifdef QT_QML_DEBUG

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to know if we're in debug mode or
running in the emulator in QML (something like the #ifdef QT_QML_DEBUG in
c++). I'd like to be able to act differently whether the app is running on
a real device or not.
