Detecting Debug at Compile-Time

Often I find if want to exclude code if the application is not compiled with debugging enabled.  This can be achieved with the flag "BuildConfig.DEBUG"

if (BuildConfig.DEBUG)
{
    // do something in debug only
    Log.d(TAG, "Text");
}

Prevent the keyboard popping up on starting an activity

This works by making the parent layout for the activity focusable. So the child elements don't automatically get the focus, the parent does.
Add the following to the parent layout for the activity

android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Lock the screen orientation

In the manifest file, set the following for each activity that you need the orientation locked

android:screenOrientation="portrait"
