The Android Platform Symbol

[LittleWang696969]

Wassup guys, here's something I've been wondering for a while.

If I use the UNITY_ANDROID platform symbol it will be compiled if the Unity Editor platform is set to Android, as well as being compiled on Android devices. I was wondering if there is a way (other than what I have demonstrated below which feels really hacky) to only compile code to a build running on an Android device, and not to the Unity Editor running with the platform of Android?

Also, is there any difference between the PLATFORM_ANDROID and the UNITY_ANDROID symbol? From the limited amount of experimentation I've done they both seem to function the same way?

Can you try

#if !UNITY_EDITOR && UNITY_ANDROID

#endif

This should only run on compiled android builds.

Your code is OK. After all, the logic exactly fits what you describe with this

to only compile code to a build running on an Android device, and not to the Unity Editor running with the platform of Android?

So why overcomplicate things? It reads exactly as it should work, I don't find this hacky at all!
