Other Basic4android v3.00 is released!

Erel · Oct 13, 2013

Hi all!

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.

Improvements:

Rapid Debugger - Powerful debugger, hot code swapping, quick deployment and more.
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.
Spinner.DropDownTextColor property.
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 who are eligible for a free upgrade should receive an email with a download link. It can take a few hours for the mail to arrive.

I want to thank the beta testers for their help with this release. The rapid debugger is a very complicated solution. It would not have been possible without your help.

Hello @Erel.
Thank you for all your hard work, as your hard work makes developing on Android devices easier for us.
Btw, are you plugged directly into the Matrix, do you just see green code scrolling down your monitors

Nice work...

True. But I'm not allowed to tell.

Could you write more about this item?

In previous versions if you tried to send many background requests at once (>~80) some of the requests might have failed due to several reasons. Especially when you sent the Http requests to the same host. With v3.0 you can send hundreds or thousands of requests at once and they will be properly executed (without breaking the web server).

Debug legacy, Release and reléase obfuscated runs ok.
I think the problem is config.txt

what can i do?

Thanks in advance

Erel · Oct 15, 2013

It is better to post it in a new thread. Can you upload your project (file - export as zip)? Or send it to (erel@basic4ppc.com)?

I'm a Delphi user from Delphi 2 up (currently XE2 Enterprise). XE5 with Android support is a release i had long waited for. Three weeks ago i had testet the new release. One source with visual design for Android and iOS. And it works, really.
But it has two drawbacks.
The first: Delphi uses the NDK and creates native code (no java). The created apps doesn't run on all cpu types, only on ARM 7.
The second is a fatal one (imho): Delphi includes the complete FireMonkey Runtime in the apk. Even a simple "Hello world" apk has a size of 4,8 MB. But the apk is compressed and once installed it needs 20 MB.

After this test, i bought B4A

Thank you for you review. I have seen the web seminar Embarcadero made a few weeks ago and I was unsure about the compatibility of delphi native code. Of course, databases limited to 100 Mbytes (if you don't pay 400 € more) and filesizes as you remark (my best B4A apk only have 300 kBytes) makes delphi a bad choice... I prefer B4A, at last for the next two years

gwapong · Oct 15, 2013

hello erel...i did not receive an email for the link for this update...

metheoneandonly · Oct 15, 2013

Congratulations, Erel!

Am I eligible for a free upgrade?

Erel · Oct 16, 2013

Please contact support@basic4ppc.com if you didn't receive the upgrade mail (or the discount offer mail).

metheoneandonly · Oct 17, 2013

Just sent e-mail and now I'm waiting... With a hope for a free upgrade...

Erel · Oct 17, 2013

If you haven't received an answer then our mail was probably blocked by your server. In that case please contact me with a private conversation.

metheoneandonly · Oct 17, 2013

I just checked my e-mails and e-mail arrived. Now a question: how long is this offer valid? I'm definitely planning to buy, but can't buy in a moment. I will get my paycheck in first few days of november, so will it be valid then? Also I've tried to click the PayPal link you provided to me, but it says "Error detected: PayPal cannot process this transaction because of a problem with the seller's website. Please contact the seller directly to resolve this problem.". What's wrong?

Erel · Oct 17, 2013

The offer should be valid for at least one month.

The link is a long link. In many cases it arrives broken into two lines. You should manually copy the last part of the link from the second line.
