DEBUG variable in Eclipse

In case you missed cool feature of ADT v.17

“Added a feature that allows you to run some code only in debug mode. Builds now generate a class called BuildConfig containing a DEBUG constant that is automatically set according to your build type. You can check the (BuildConfig.DEBUG) constant in your code to run debug-only functions such as outputting debug logs.”

Can help a lot:) Everybody forgets to disable debug in release at least one time in life.

    And it doesn’t work (at least, for me), unless you disable “build automatically”.

    It works perfectly when you use Eclipse for debug (just run with debug certificate) and “ant release” for production. Your case seems like a bug. Is it reproducible in ADT v.20? submit bug at http://tools.android.com/
