This update includes many improvements:
- Localizable IDE. Currently available in 21 languages.

- Resize / InitializeResize / LoadBitmapResize - Similar to LoadBitampSample but better. Allow setting the image to a specific size while optionally maintaining the aspect ratio and the bitmap scale.

B4X:'load a background image while maintaining its aspect ratio. Dim bd As BitmapDrawable = Activity.SetBackgroundImage(LoadBitmapResize(File.DirAssets, "bg.png", Activity.Width, Activity.Height, True)) bd.Gravity = Gravity.CENTER - New ResumableSub type. Makes it simpler to return values from resumable subs and to wait for resumable subs to complete.
