Improvements:

• Fix the "incompatible types" warning with the relatively new Json type.
• Json.ToCompactString method.
• Several debugger fixes: crash on startup, missed assignments in some cases, single field objects were not always observable.
• Code editor jumps to a sub when adding an event with the designer, including when the sub already exists.
• LogColor and "jump to line" feature:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• SimpleMediaManager is included as an internal library.
• Updated internal libraries: jCore (9.30), Json (1.21), B4XPreferencesDialog (1.74), BCTextEngine (1.92), XUI Views (2.53), KeyValueStore (2.31), jRandomAccessFile (2.34)
• Bug fixes and other minor improvements.

Great work.
I found smart & useful the following:

• Code editor jumps to a sub when adding an event with the designer, including when the sub already exists.
• LogColor and "jump to line" feature:

Always look forward to a new update:

This warning maybe invalid:

cls_channel_listen - 23: Variable 'record' was not initialized. (warning #11)

The Class:

Sub Class_Globals
    Private record                    As Thread
End Sub

Public Sub Initialize
    record.Initialise("Rec")
End Sub

As you can see I am initialising the record object.

Regards

John.

As you can see I am initialising the record object.

Yes but you are doing it with an s initialiSe and not initialiZe, and anyway it's better to write the object type, may be initialization is not even needed like with primitives

 

[Erel]

This is really not related to this thread, however it happens because the Thread type (which I usually don't recommend to use) is a "wrapper type". Wrapper types are expected to include an Initialize method. Bottom line: ignore it.

 Private record                    As Thread 'ignore

Loving the "jump to line" feature

Loving the "jump to line" feature

Indeed! This is such a huge time saver. I used to prefix every log line so I could find it back in my code. Not needed anymore! ?

Hope to see our wish fulfilled in this B4J version, as I do mostly in B4J for B4XPages project and then make minor changes in B4A

same xx.b4xlib library is in both default and additional library folder

The ide helps a lot by showing messages like, .. Are you missing a library .. .. abc.html is folder but not sync .. .. xyz.png is never used .. Now I wish that ide also informs us that same xx.b4xlib library is in both default and additional library folder. Some b4xlib which were external and...

Please start a new thread and provide more information (does it happen with all projects, what happens in release mode).

How do we log(Map) / Log(List) as there is this warning 7 in the IDE now with 9.30?

Example

Dim user As Map = about.GetData("user")
    Log(user)

ViewLabel - 68: Object converted to String. This is probably a programming mistake. (warning #7)

It is a warning you can still compile and you will see the information of the map
