Wish B4A for Tablet Android

[Javier Donayre]

I find it very convenient to have a version of B4A that runs on an Android tablet. This way we would not need to have a PC or LapTop for the development of Android-applications.

It is not possible. B4A is based on Microsoft .Net Framework. It is not available on Android

+ it needs the java SDK and the Android SDK, also not available on Android.

You could use a VM running B4A on windows on something like AWS or Azure, then run it when you need it and RDP to it. Costs money, but gets what you want.

Would be nice to just be able to edit and syntax check my code.

Use to do this with a standard editor but since (I think bra 7.x) you cant edit a b4x with anything but the ide.

I don't see why you couldn't edit .b4a and .bas files with the Quoda editor on a device. The annual Premium cost is dirt-cheap and well worth it.

Quoda supports VB syntax highlighting which is close enough to B4X to be useful. The IDE Tools -> B4A Bridge -> File Explorer facility makes copying the files too and from a device very easy.

Interesting. But I have found if you edit the basic files it is ok. But if I edit and change a b4a file with and outside editor the ide will no longer open the project

I found this interesting Android app: RadBuilder

It is targeted for those who wants to build business app.

It is a product of Longtion (http://www.longtion.com/).

But it seems they have removed the Android version currently.

There is nothing special about the b4a files. You can edit them with a text editor. Maybe the editor used the wrong end of line characters (should be \r\n).

It's not in the store but it is available to download for sideloading.
