[android-developers] Re: Android preprocessor, //#ifdef...

On some development systems a C preprocessor has been hijacked to
preprocess Java code. It's not standard, though.

You can use final constants in Java to select pieces of code. Eg, "if
(MY_CONSTANT) { ... }" where MY_CONSTANT is a "final" boolean value.
The Java compiler is defined to compile these on or off at compile
time, eliminating any runtime checks. However, the code in a
"deactivated" if leg still needs to be legal Java with variables that
exist, etc.
