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][+][-]
  1. {$IF DEFINED(LINUX) and DEFINED(CPUARM)}
  2.   {$DEFINE ANDROID}
  3. {$IFEND}
  4.  

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?
