Android Question I need a advice

If you want to develop an app which runs on Android AND IPhone then you can NOT do that with B4A. B4A just make Android Apps, no IPhone.

A possible Solution to build two apps from the same codebase you can use Delphi XE5 + Mobile Addon or C++ XE5 + Mobile Addon from Embarcadero. But be aware of the price. It´s not cheap!

For developing Android apps you´ll not find any better IDE than B4A. But is has no IPhone-Support...

Embarcadero has now the AppMethod that is Delphi for mobile with price way better... But remember that there are pros and cons... you are going to have a real native app, not like b4a, and you will have it for android and iOS, however only works in modern equipments... forget running in everything like b4a does...

And not to forget: Embarcadero Apps are very huge in size. A simple "hello world" android app has nearly 4,5 - 5 MB apk size and almost 20 MB runtime size (apk is packed). For me, this is a no go.

Yes... it is huge compared to b4a for sure. It is because it does not depend on the android, it is fully autocontained. I believe that for simple stuff is a no go. However for complex things, specially when you need to share the source code could be an option.

I am using b4a for some applications succesfully. My app is fast, simple to deliver and small 512kb. However for a new app that I am doing I am going to use Delphi, since it is a business app that need to be shared on PC, iOS, Android and Web with the same core source code there is not other way to generate native full featured applications.

I believe that for sometime we will need to use different IDE according to the needs... Just sharing the experience.. still b4a a great tool...
