Debug Messages in Release?

[Vircop]

Hello,

i switched to Release (The Dropdown List next to the run button) and Run it.
Then it installs to the device (i'm using my android phone) and it starts. Then i see all Log Messages from Debug. How do i create a "proper" release?

Log messages are not from 'debug'. The debugger is a different thing from Log.
Anyway, to remove the Logs you need to remove all of your Log statements.

Another way to do it is to use a switch for enabling/disabling logging. Ofcourse you have to replace all Log statements with vLog. for e.g.

Sub vLog(s as String)
      Dim enable_log as Boolean
      enable_log = True
      If enable_log = True then
         Log(s)
      End If
End Sub

Thanks. Somehow i have the feeling it's still installing the Debug Version instead of the Release. It's very slow...

End Sub

This code is useless.

I know.
Unless you turn enable_log = false
It will turn off all your logging.

then why not do away with the flag and just comment out the log?

If you prefer to. Your way would be more quicker (one keystroke )

Dimming the flag outside of the sub would have a point. One could choose from a 'settings' panel whether logging is to be performed or not.

That's what I do in a larger project where I use process global vars to enable various debug options.
This code was only an example.

I can agree with that. Having a global "Release" flag would allow to to disable anything you did not want running in the release from one location.

There are also Log calls being made by the generated code from B4A side. You can see it in the Java code generated by B4A. The only way I can think of removing ALL log messages would be to edit them out of the generated java, and compile that code. Please correct me if I am wrong as its been a while since I looked at this specifically.

All applications send log messages.
