Roku Developer Program

[sjb64]

Instead of, but similar to, the printon setting, I use this and it works ok for me...

In my startup code...

m.Timer=CreateObject("roTimeSpan")
m.Timer.Mark()
m.Development = CreateObject("roAppInfo").IsDev()

And a routine in my global routines

Sub Trace(Value as string)
    if m.Development=true print (stri(m.Timer.TotalMilliseconds())+": "+Value)
End Sub

Then I can call it anytime and it prints if in dev, the drawback is if I do a complex function to generate the value, it still runs in production, but the one area I do that I surrounded with the same m.Development check.

Well done, good sir!
I think i'll ugh, borrow that for my code. There is actually already a timer somewhere - a bit obscure but i found it - in ifAppManager.

'main() init section. keep singletons handy
m.roAppManager = createObject("roAppManager")
m.roAppInfo = createObject("roAppInfo")
m.isSideLoaded = roAppInfo.isDev()
...

function trace(this, that = ""):
    if m.isSideLoaded then 
        print m.roAppManager.getUptime(); ": "; this; that
    end if
end function

An advantage of using semicolon separator instead of string concat is that `this` can now be any type (e.g. array, dictionary) and let print handle the printing
