Hello!
As most noobs in B4A development(and Android development in
general, I'd guess) I have a hard time understanding against which
emulators I should be trying the application the most.
There are quite a few options to choose from and, certainly,
each option matches something specific in an Android phone.
The HVGA display mode, for example, surely matches a specific set of
phones/tablets? And so do the others, I'd say.
Given I am not wrong(which in this case is unlikely, but still
possible), one very interesting thing to have would be an
emulator generation wizard.
Something like this:
Screen 1
---------
Choose the kind of phone/tablet you want to emulate:
Phones
-------
o blablablah series N
o xyz series RTGH
Tablets
-------
o N1
o N2
Emulator Name: |_______________________|
Screen 2
--------
[] Include custom SD card size _________ MiB
[] Include sensors/peripherals
Screen 3(optionally showing only if include sensors is checked)
------------------
Select the sensors here:
[] Accelerometer [] Camera [] Giroscope
[] Space Rocket(whatever)
The list in screen 1 should be expandable so that people
could add their favourites and share them on the Forum.
As I see it, it would be interesting to do and provide
awesome value when the number increases to a certain point.
We noobs could gain a few things from such a wizard:
1) We'd be quicker in setting up emulators for testing
2) We could peek around to understand what emulator
does what phone/tablet
3) Once more experienced, we could submit our own
favourites tweaked based on experience or
completely new ones based on what comes on the market.
What do you think? Would it be worth adding to B4A?

A
