Beta V0.91 is online

[Erel]

This version includes many bug fixes and many improvements.
These are the highlights:
- GPS library is ready.
- RandomAccessFile library was added. This library allows you to open files in random access mode and also to work with raw bytes.
- MediaPlayer object was added to the core libray.
- File.WriteList / WriteMap / ReadList / ReadMap methods added which are very convenient for storing data.
- SeekBar view added.
- ScrollView was finalized.
- Option to limit your application to a specific orientation.
- NumberFormat methods.
- LoadBitmapSample - Sub-samples large images as needed and saves a lot of memory.
- StateListDrawable was finalized.

I'm probably missing the obvious but how do you get an instance of GpsSatellite?

 

[Erel]

Just writing a tutorial now... You will have to wait about 5 to 10 minutes.

Forgot to mention two new important keywords that were added:
- Exit: exits the most inner loop.
- Continue: breaks the current iteration and continues with the next one.
Example:

'Iterate over an array, skip the thirteen element and stop if you find an element larger than 100.
Sub S1 (values() As Int)
 For i = 0 To values.Length - 1
   If i = 12 Then Continue
   If values(i) > 100 then Exit
   'do something important with this value.
Next
End Sub

I miss a drawpoligon method (empty and filled) in canvas. Will you add it ?

 

[Erel]

Check Canvas.DrawPath.

Cant download the 0.91!?

Hi Erel, I have 2 issues
1st, I can't download the 0.91 version, teither the passord or the user is diferent?
2nd, since the help is still disabled, how do I check wich version I have installed?

 

[Erel]

The user name and password didn't change. Make sure that you are not copying any extra spaces.
For now you can only see the version when you install the application.

Still getting atleast the minor version of the installed IDE, would be somewhat usefull
