Hi all,
Is there an special definition (IFDEF) for Android platform?
Thanks.

Nope, because FreePascal doesn't support Android officially... So the
only one solution is something like this(but this is a bad idea):
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i {$IF
DEFINED(LINUX) and DEFINED(CPUARM)}  {$DEFINE ANDROID}{$IFEND} 
or just using define ANDROID manually when you compile your project.

Since the LPI needs to be different anyway for Android, just add
-dANDROID in the Android LPI. The example project does that.

@Andru: I dont think it is a bad idea, if the source needs to be
compiled under Windows,Linux,Mac,Android ...etc. I just read the
screen metrics of the Android device, so that doesnt necessary for the
other platforms.

@Felipe: But that information only supports if the application runs
only on Android platform.

Why? The example project runs in any operating system.

So you mean, -dAndroid option doesnt inhibit the compilation for the
other platforms as a result What does 'Defines the symbol' mean?
