There are statistics about this format. It was used by about 68% of web sites at the beginning of 2012. Less than 52% in November of this year. And the trend is obvious since a few years. It's probably really difficult nowadays to find a professional still using it. Anyway, I don't say it's a bad format, it's just something that we shouldn't continue to use because it's not suited for our modern devices and the advantage of size is too weak compared to the disadvantage of limited colors. Your application is an extreme but interesting case.

That's still a ton of sites using it, no where near the amount you'd drop support for.

My app being an extreme case is irrelevant. Google shouldn't go out of their way to screw devs over like that.
They're making the fragmentation problem worse on purpose

This is probably the case.

You can try the attached core jar file.
It should fix the DrawText issue.

Copy core.jar to Basic4android internal libraries folder.

Thanks Erel, you've solved my problem with Kitkat 4.4.

Hi!
I've got B4A 2.71 installed and the same problem with drawing hollow text.
Updating the core.jar file doesn't work. The App crashes right after starting. Do i have to update B4A, too?

My nexus 5 fails with the cctvClient program, on this sub from CameraExClass:
B4X: 
PublicSub CommitParameters
r.target = nativeCam
r.RunMethod4("setParameters", ArrayAsObject(parameters), ArrayAsString("android.hardware.Camera$Parameters"))
End Sub

It fails when this line is not commented:
B4X: 
camEx.SetPreviewSize(640,480)
I tried almost all the supported preview sizes that are in the log list.
When commented everything else works fine.

I'll appreciate if someone else with nexus 5 can check this with any camera app using cameraEx, to see if it is something general or specific to my device.
