title: Best Way to Include Debug Code?
body: <p>I am programming Android applications, and the best way here may or may not be the same as Java in general.</p>
  
  <p>I simply want to be able to set a debug flag that will only execute certain portions of code when it's set to true––equiv to C++ setting a preprocessor #define DEBUG and using #ifdef DEBUG.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an accepted or best way to accomplish this in Java?</p>
  
  <p>Right now I'm just going to set a variable in my Application object, but I don't imagine this is the best way.</p>
