Good suggestions, Peli. Thanks. For now I had decided to "wrap" the OpenIntents code segments in dedicated open and close tags as in
/* // <xOpenIntents> import org.openintents.OpenIntents; import org.openintents.hardware.SensorManagerSimulator; import org.openintents.hardware.Sensors; import org.openintents.provider.Hardware; */ // </xOpenIntents> such that a global editor substitution of /* // <xOpenIntents> by / **/ // <xOpenIntents> and */ // </xOpenIntents> by /**/ // </ xOpenIntents> (and vice versa) will activate or deactivate all OpenIntents code segments. This scales to any number of OpenIntents code segments without adding effort (for five code segments one might still argue that it is overkill to do this via global substitution, but I prefer it). I never trust a compiler to really remove logically unused branches, so for me this is the next-best-thing for lack of a precompiler, but perhaps I am paranoid. Or was it pAndroid? :-) On Sep 10, 8:23 am, Peli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thank you for the great feedback! > > In the mean-time I've updated the documentation > here:http://code.google.com/p/openintents/wiki/SensorSimulator > > Yes, a Java Precompiler would indeed come handy in cases like this. > Maybe you can reduce the number of places where you have to comment > out code to a single place, by putting all relevant code into methods > of a single class, and in the five places in your code use if-else > with a final boolean.
