I'm happy to release Basic4android v1.3.
This version includes a new tool named B4A-Bridge which allows you to connect your device to the IDE over the local network.
Unlike ADB, this tool doesn't require any special drivers and should be supported by all devices.
See the
B4A-Bridge tutorial.
The IDE was updated with a new set of icons and other small improvements (including better support for copying LogCat to the clipboard).
Other new features:
- Select blocks can be nested.
- Ceil keyword added.
- Edit: WebView PageFinished event added.
- Phone library was updated:
- PackageManager object - Allows you to retrieve information about the installed applications.
- LogCat object - Read the logs from the phone.
- Phone.GetResourceDrawable - Fetch Android internal drawables.
- Phone.GetSettings - Get various settings values.
The most updated official libraries are included in the installation.
