I use this in my processing sketch to determine in which mode I'm running i.e. where I'm running it.
enum Mode {
java, android
}
Mode getMode() {
return System.getProperty("java.runtime.name").equals("Android Runtime") ? Mode.android : Mode.java;
}
if (getMode() == Mode.java){
// do something
// eg: do something that android can't handle
} else {
// do android stuff
// eg: scale the sketch by 2 to improve visibility
}
