This is excellent work @mcqueccu, impressive, nice and simple to use.

One thing though, It's easy enough to check which B4X products are installed on a users PC. In my B4X Template Manager (Which I use on every single new B4X project) I check which products are installed and I only allow those options to be clickable to the end user when selecting the project folder paths on first installation. Using your B4X Project Launcher, I should not be able to select B4i as I do not have B4i installed on my development machine.

Also where you have one com.application.helloworld text box, I suggest you having 2 text boxes. That way new developers to B4X would only need to type in their name/business into the first text box followed by the application name in the second text box, you can then put it all together for them like this com.namebusiness.application. I believe this would make it a lot easier for newbies to learn and understand, but I could be wrong wit my last statement.

I do like your app though, lets hope that it catches on. I use my B4X Template Manager for every new B4A and B4J project that I create as the icon is always sitting ready to use in the notification are of Windows, plus I have plenty of templates to choose from.

Keep up the good work ?

Great job, and really useful. Thanks for sharing.

Just a little error, not sure if it happens just to me, when you deselect B4A and select it again, you 2 slashes between the folders.

Hmm, it's working perfectly fine here too, but then again I've not got B4i where @José J. Aguilar does have it.

I would still have another text box for the application name, but still a great app. Lets hope that new B4X users for the forum start to use this.

You mean your radio buttons are not in that order (B4A - B4I - B4J - B4R)? or is not enabled?
B4i should be disabled (Not Clickable) on your system since you don't have it?

Thank you so much,
Is it possible to keep the folders structure like this post please, because when I enter the name of the app and choose the folder name where I want to create my b4x app, the app create another subfolder inside, and if I click on use separate folder for platforms it continue adding another subfolder.

Remember "As iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens his friend" this is what we are doing here

You are doing a great job

1. You don't need to choose the project path each time you want to create a new project as it will remember your last chosen location. Also, if use separate folder is selected, your created projects are organised and goes to separate folders for B4A, B4J, etc, otherwise all goes into B4X Projects folder, even though those sub folders will be created. You can manually delete them.

2. Also, When you want to choose a path, don't choose B4X Projects folder or any its subfolders it. I think the folder stucture in XUI2D is similar to mine, only that this one has projects attached to the name

3. Even if you choose Existing B4X Projects Folder, the launcher checks - so it wont create another B4X Projects folder, it will only create the sub folders
