Can we detect at runtime if the app is either running in release, rapid or legacy debug mode?

I mean, without making use of conditional symbols in Build Configurations or other flags which have to be set by the user


--EDIT--

I was too fast asking, just found THIS. So the only remaining question how to detect if it is running in rapid or legacy debug mode

Thanks both

About the second part of my question, in case it may interest someone, this seems to solve it (I don't know if may change in the future)

  • BA.debugMode==false --> release
  • BA.debugMode==true && BA.shellMode==false --> legacy debugger
  • BA.debugMode==true && BA.shellMode==true --> rapid debugger.

It will not change.

If you are pedantic then you should use BA.isShellModeRuntimeCheck(ba).
Otherwise your check will return the wrong result when called from a B4A compiled library (the compiled classes are always in release mode).

Thanks.

So, to kill my problem (some hours ago I thought it was clear to me but now I am confused), please can you confirm these sentences?

If I call "ba.raiseEvent( this, .... )" from inside my lib in another thread, and I am using

1. release mode --> the B4A sub will be executed synchronously, using the same thread as the calling sub?
2. rapid debug mode --> if the caller is running in the UI thread and I have put @RaisesSynchronousEvents , the B4A sub will be executed synchronously?
3. rapid debug mode --> if the caller is running in its own non-UI thread, the B4A Sub will be executed asynchronously in the UI thread?

Hallo DonManfred,

hast Du ein Beispiel für Deinen Vorschlag?
You dont need special build configurations.

#if debug as conditionalsymbol should do the trick.
or #if release
Click to expand...

ich möchte in Debug Fall meine Datenbank extern speichern, sonst intern:

B4X: 
# if debug
    Dim DBFileDir As String : DBFileDir = File.DirDefaultExternal
# if release  
    Dim DBFileDir As String : DBFileDir = File.DirInternal

Das # if debug liefert gleich einen "Fehler beim Parsen des Attributs: #if debug"

Wie mache ich das?
