Hi all!

The first beta version of Basic4android v3.00 is released.

The main new feature in this version is the rapid debugger: Rapid Debugger
The rapid debugger makes it much easier and quicker to test and debug your code.

Other improvements:
  • Better support for large number of background tasks. This update (together with an update to the Http library) allows you to send hundreds of requests at once.
  • B4A-Bridge - Last 5 IP addresses are stored. F2 connects to the last one. Some other small improvements in the connection process.
  • For loop performance improvement.
  • Activity / Panel.GetAllViewsRecursive. Provides a simple way to iterate over all views.
  • Color picker. Right click in the code editor to show it.
  • List.SortTypeCaseInsensitive method.
  • PhoneSms.Send2 - send sms without notifications.
  • Screenshots tool - Copy to clipboard.
  • Compilation window closes automatically when it loses focus.
  • Bug fixes and other minor improvements (including the fix for Android 4.3 back key issue and the IDE scrolling issue).
Customers (with an enterprise license) who are eligible for a free upgrade should receive an email with a download link.

The rapid debugger feature is the most complicated improvement since B4A v1.00. This is a beta version. It is more than likely that you will encounter issues with it...
Please post any issue in a new thread in the questions forum tagged with the Beta prefix.

v3.00 BETA #6 is now available in the same link. It fixes the issues discussed in the forum.

You can install this version together with other versions of Basic4android.

Thank you all for your help!
:)

Thanks Erel, It is possible to release the application code changes while this compilation window goes to background ? Sometimes I have to wait 1-2 minutes to change the code compilation on emulator.

List1 = StringUtils1.LoadCSV(sciezkaI , "s.sza", SP)

B4A-Bridge - Last 5 IP addresses are stored. F2 connects to the last one. Some other small improvements in the connection process.
Click to expand...

I have noticed logging issues with Android versions greater than 4? I have a Samsung 7" and S4 both of which do not display logs for some reason.
I must use my Infuse or Samsung 10.1" for development.

Also I had to ditch my computer with Windows 8 completely and revert back to my laptop running windows 7. B4A-Bridge simply would not connect. Even after re-installing Windows. After a few days it would not find the IP and stop connecting.

Not sure if this is a Windows issue or B4A-Bridge issue.
You did mention this was related to .net connectivity in a post I made.

Obviously I have been able to work around this but...

I would realy like to ge back to my computer. It is faster. :)
