Basic4android v2.00 is now available. This upgrade is probably the most significant upgrade since v1.00.

The major new feature is support for class modules. With support for classes Basic4android now allows you to write both procedural code and object oriented code.
Object oriented code makes it easier to write and maintain large projects.

Basic4android v2.00 improvements:

- Classes

- Public and Private access modifiers

- Built-in documentation

- Better handling of tasks in the internal thread pool

- CallSubDelayed keywords - These keywords significantly simplify the interaction between services and activities.

- Building process improved and it now supports libraries with embedded resources (such as PayPal, Zooz, Samsung Pen and others).

- Bug fixes and other minor improvements.

Note that B4A.xml was modified in this version. The highlighting styles section was not modified.
The Reflection library was updated to support the new version internal changes.

V2.02 is now available. You should use the same link as the link to v2.00.
This version fixes several issues related to CallSub and CallSubDelayed keywords.

Great job Erel, from someone that had very little knowledge of classes and oop I thought that it may be a nice feature.

Having had the chance to play with it for a while, I'm wondering how we managed without it.

It makes a great product even better!

I might even be able to tame my spaghetti code :)

I am not sure, but it could be related to java 1.6. try jdk1.7

Installed JDK1.7 but it is just the same problem.

Then I don't know buddy...I remember I got this, in one of my project, but that wasn't because of the v2.0 upgrade, it was because I didn't copy the library files properly. fingers crossed, hopefully someone will be able to help you out.

Hi,

Just received the v2.00 upgrade link, luckily i saw this forum thread before installing it. Has anyone found a fix yet for the problem highlighted here?? Cant wait to try it but i cant afford to have errors almost finished a current project.

BTW:

thanks

hey everyone, is screenshot capture not working any more?
here is my code
B4X: 
Sub TakeScreenshot (Activity As Activity)
   Log("TakeScreenshot activated")
      ' Take a screenshot.
   
      Dim Obj1, Obj2 As Reflector
      Dim bmp As Bitmap
      Dim c As Canvas
      Dim now, i As Long
      Dim dt As String
      DateTime.DateFormat = "yyMMddHHmmss"
      now = DateTime.now
      dt = DateTime.date(now) ' e.g.: "110812150355" is Aug.12, 2011, 3:03:55 p.m.
      Obj1.Target = Obj1.GetActivityBA
      Obj1.Target = Obj1.GetField("vg")
     bmp.InitializeMutable(Activity.Width, Activity.Height)
      c.Initialize2(bmp)
      Dim args(1) As Object
      Dim types(1) As String
      Obj2.Target = c
      Obj2.Target = Obj2.GetField("canvas")
      args(0) = Obj2.Target
      types(0) = "android.graphics.Canvas"
      Obj1.RunMethod4("draw", args, types)
      Dim Out As OutputStream
      Out = File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal, dt & ".png", False)
      bmp.WriteToStream(Out, 100, "PNG")
      Out.close
   ToastMessageShow("Screenshot Captured", False)
End Sub

and here is the error i get
