Version 1.1 was released today.
All licensed users should receive an email with upgrade instructions. It can take up to 24 hours.
The new version contains many bug fixes and many new features.
Since the release of version 1.0 there were many new libraries. This version includes all the new and updated official libraries.
Major new features (not including new features added previously with the new libraries):
- Select Case block.
- New views: WebView and ProgressBar. WebView is a really powerful view. It uses the internal browser engine to display html. You can use it to display online pages or offline pages.
- Internal support for handling results from external activities (onActivityResult).
- Using the above feature, two new objects: VoiceRecognition and ContentChooser. Both are included in the Phone library.
- Designer color dialog changed and it now includes a text description.
- Support for installing applications to the SD card. This is available in Projects - Can Install To External Storage. This feature is only relevant for Android 2.2 and above. It will be ignored when installing to other versions.
- Button_Down and Button_Up events added.
- Option to override AndroidManifest.xml created by Basic4android. This is done by changing the file located under Objects folder to read-only.
Edit: Users who previously updated any official library by putting it in the "additional libraries path" should do one of the following:
- Delete all the official libraries from the additional libraries path.
- Copy all files from the internal libraries folder to the additional libraries folder. The internal folder is usually located in: C:\Program Files\Anywhere Software\Basic4android\Libraries
Otherwise the old libraries will be used.
