I would like to conditionally include a regular B4A library, say FusedLocationProvider, so that I can omit it in builds that do not require it but include it when needed.
Erel suggested that it would involve using
#If FLP
#AdditionalJar: FusedLocationProvider
#End if
So I omitted FusedLocationProvider from the list of libraries, hoping that would work.
However if I do that then this statement fails to compile:
#If FLP
Dim FLP1 As FusedLocationProvider
#End If
B4A version 4.30
Parsing code. Error
Error parsing program.

Are you missing a library reference?

Dim FLP1 As FusedLocationProvider
So not quite so simple as I hoped. However I've heard that there might be a solution
hopefully not too complicated!
It seems like what is needed is a conditional deletion of a jar/library file at compile time, so that the editor still recognises the elements of an included library but then they are removed before compilation.
