Other B4A v6.30 has been released!

Erel · Sep 21, 2016

I'm happy to release B4A v6.30.

There are many IDE related improvements in this update.

The docking and layout features are based on a new and improved framework. Floating code editors behave as regular windows.
Documentation tool tips while hovering over code elements:
Copy links in the tool tips that allow copying code examples.
Support for bookmarks:
New themes.
URLs in comments and strings are ctrl-clickable.
Class and module level documentation (taken from Process_Globals or Class_Globals subs).
Quick search shows a list of recent searches.
Designer uses the multiline text editor for text properties.
Unused libraries warning.
Debugger related improvements.
Custom views support "nullable colors". The default value of such fields looks like:

This is an important feature as in many cases it is better not to set any color and use the system default.
Rect.Width and Height properties.
Service_TaskRemoved event added to the Starter service. This event is raised when the user closes the app from the recent apps list. This is an Android 4+ event.
FloatLabeledEditText - Text and hint colors can be set in the designer.
Regex.Replace / Replace2 - Regular expression replacement.
(Java) The Tag property is set when calling CustomView.replaceBaseWithView2 (replaceBaseWithView is deprecated).
_onkeydown and _onkeyup inline Java hooks.
Other bug fixes and minor improvements.

Note that the debug key has been replaced. If you are using B4A-Bridge then you will need to uninstall the existing developed app before deploying the new one (required once).

Users who are eligible for a free upgrade will receive an email with installation instructions.
Other users will receive an email with a discount offer.

when hovering over the B4A icon in taskbar, there is no captions - windows titles

Because there is no windows title - there is a single Tab with the "title"

Ops, Erel's comment was shown after I wrote mine (anyway, I think it is right)

Hi, i think that there are problems while looping over a cursor with sqllite.... it is slow slow slow.
someone has encountered the same problem?

Unlikely that it is related to the new version. Try to clean the project (Ctrl + P) and run again. For further discussion please start a new thread.

wow... i'm in now
just back from holidays and i got this lovely update.
erel is a lovely guy

RafaelC · Oct 3, 2016

Maybe this is just a silly question: I had installed B4A version 6.0 and everything worked fine. I just downloaded 6.30 and now all my example projects show the following error:

I downloaded 6.3 and installed on top of 6.0. Is that Ok? If so, what am I missing?
Thanks

Rafael

RafaelC · Oct 4, 2016

Further to my previous question, can you explain the meaning of “Note that the debug key has been replaced”. I have uninstalled the previous app (developed with V6.0) form my phone but that has not solved the problem.

Erel · Oct 4, 2016

Are you using B4A-Bridge or USB debug mode?

I don't think that this error is related to the updated debug key.

Tool --> Clean Project ??

RafaelC · Oct 4, 2016

Marco: No. It didn't work. Thks anyway
Erel: Tried to unload app, unload b4a_bridge 2.14 and substitute if with 2.13 (which, by the way, showa "2.12" on the screen). None of these worked. As I see others have had the same problem, I am starting a new thread

techknight · Oct 4, 2016

The only nitpick thing I have to say, is it reset ALL of my GUI settings and I did not like that one bit. kinda my petpeeve. dont mess with my settings please!!

Other than that, it works perfectly fine as normal.

As the new version is based on a different layout framework it was not possible to preserve the layout settings. I completely agree with the importance of respecting the developers customizations.

juan manuel luzuriaga · Oct 4, 2016

thank you, great work

techknight · Oct 5, 2016

Why the framework change? Did the old one have bugs that weren't fixed, or became unsupported? Just curious.

Erel · Oct 6, 2016

The new framework is more powerful. For example floating windows are implemented as regular windows. There are also other small changes like animated hints that help with modifying the layout.

It replaced the old framework which is no longer being updated.

Thanks again for adding the Bookmark feature - my productivity is so much better!

BobsYourUncle · Nov 21, 2016

Is it possible to install B4A versions side by side? So have both B4A 5 and B4A 6 installed on the same PC? (So I can test migrate my Apps from B4a 5 to 6 to ensure no problems introduced). Thanks!

Erel · Nov 21, 2016

Yes. Install it in a different folder.

You can comment classes and modules, not only routines.
