Basic4android v2.00 is released!

Erel · Jun 19, 2012

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.

There are two possible locations for libraries. One is internal, in the location that Basic4android is installed and the other is configured under Tools - Configure Paths. In one of them you will find older version of these files.

please help !!

Sorry nw11 my answer was related to another issue. Not the one you encountered.

CallSub now throws an error if the target sub doesn't exist. This makes sense at it is most likely a programming error.

You can use SubExists to check if a sub exists (in case you don't know).

Can you upload your project (or send it to: erel@basic4ppc.com)?

Users who bought the enterprise version in the last two years and users who bought the standard version in the last two months should receive an email with upgrade instructions.

Other users should receive an email with an upgrade offer.

It can take up to 24 hours for the mail to arrive. If you didn't receive it then please contact support@basic4ppc.com.

Very usefull!!!!:sign0098:

I'd be more impressed if someone would answer my damn questions.

How do you know if the OS has scaled your text, how do you prevent it - how do you read what size the OS wants to render your text at...

Erel · Jun 19, 2012

I'm sorry but this is not the place to ask this question. Also a question with the title Erel... will not get answered (at least not by myself). This discussion is about v2.00. Unrelated posts will be deleted.

Informatix · Jun 19, 2012

:sign0098:
It's a huge improvement.

hackhack · Jun 19, 2012

Does 2.0 handle this?

Well, ignoring people is very rude. Thus the subject title, however I'll delete it if i can.
(And I couldn't - but you feel free)

bluedude · Jun 19, 2012

Trying to get the Zooz stuff running again in combination with UI (anim) components but during compilation I get the following error:

jarsigner: unable to sign jar: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: res/drawable-hdpi/btn_code_lock_default.png

There is no duplicate entry of that file.

Any ideas?

Erel · Jun 19, 2012

@hackhack, I didn't ignore your first question. My answer is that I'm not familiar with any API that allows you to treat this case. I tried searching for such and didn't find. As this is a custom behavior of HTC Sense it is possible that there is no such API.
When I don't know the answer I usually do not answer.

@bluedude, you should delete all the Zooz resource files from the res folder. They will be copied from the jar file.

It is better to start new threads for such questions.

eligible to free upgrade

Hi Erel

I purchased Basic4android - - Standard Version with 2 years of Extended Download Warranty. Won't I be able to upgrade for free?

Erel · Jun 19, 2012

Please contact support@basic4ppc.com.

ondesic · Jun 19, 2012

First off, wonderful job. Classes are a hit! One question. Does this version allow the user to input an alias for the keystore? (crossing my finger and praying)

slydog43 · Jun 19, 2012

Thanks

Thanks for another great upgrade, Can't believe people are complaining about things. Erel has always giving top notch support and B4A is one of the BEST products I have ever used and I go back to PDP-11's.

On another subject:
it seems code modules that consist of nothing more than comments are not accepted by the compiler anymore. It throws an error that sub process_global is missing. This certainly is very clean, but misusing a code module for an open item list or references, all as comments, was very easy to handle.
Can we get that back?

Thanks
Andy

Erel · Jun 19, 2012

You will need to add an empty Sub Process_Globals. I believe that it changed in v1.8.

Penko · Jun 19, 2012

Great upgrade Erel, thank you very much.

Apart from classes, the embedded resources feature was a must and you did it.

Unfortunately, I found a way to Google Play Merchant Account and wouldn't need it for ZooZ anymore but it's so great.

JoanRPM · Jun 19, 2012

Thanks Erel.
Now we have to begin to study "classes".
I hope it is as powerful as they say.
Greetings.
