B4i (iOS) - Updates thread

[Erel]

Anyway what made you finally create B4i, what changed, I'm just being nosey?

I realized that I can now provide a good solution. The solution which is based on the 2nd version of the rapid debugger (introduced in v3.50) allows you to test applications without going through a full compilation cycle each time.
In the last year B4J was introduced which also pushed me towards a cross platform solution.

Erel, do you have a timetable in mind as to when RDC might be implemented in B4I?

Thanks for all of your exceptional work!

Erel, do you have a timetable in mind as to when RDC might be implemented in B4I?

Yes. It is already implemented.
(see the list of modules here: http://www.b4x.com/b4i/documentation.html)

Applause!

@Erel -
With the RDC, does that mean I can connect to MySQL, etc, etc, without the need to pay for database access? (Xojo requires you to purchase a database license to connect to MySQL, so that's my question.)

 

[Erel]

RDC allows you to connect to any database that supports JDBC (all reasonable databases do). RDC is a small http server that acts as a middleman between the clients and the database server.

Remote Database Connector (RDC) - Connect to any remote DB

Wondering about printing. Will that be available ?

 

[Erel]

Currently there isn't such a library. It will probably be added in the future.

[Erel]

Yes. See this tutorial:

Hi Erel,

You are doing a great job. This is just what I was waiting for! Needed to move my apps to iOS platform. Now I can do it at last.
Thanks for your outstanding work! Lots of people appreciate it!

What about TTS (Text To Speech) Library ? in version 1.0 or later?

It is now implemented.

Erel,

Can you provide the B4i-BRIDGE.IPA? For user have your iPhones jailbreaked, to make easy the installation...

Thanks

 

[Erel]

B4i-Bridge is created when you build it from the IDE. The easiest way to install it is from Safari Mobile.

 

[paragkini]

I believe that the first version will be released during November.

It's November....
