You can set or remove breakpoints, that's all. The IDE is generally excellent, but unfortunately it lacks some features that all developers take for granted. (In my original post I complained about having to look up info in PDF-files, but Erel has pointed out that there are in fact online HTML-versions of these guides, so this point does not apply. The video guides are fine for starters, but not for looking up info later on. It makes the documentation appear fragmented. This forum is the main documentation, and I don't find that ideal. However, let's face it, very many developers these days use either Mac or Linux and realizing that B4X is Windows only, will probably turn them off immediately. I am a Linux guy for years, and I regret having to power up Virtualbox to work in B4X.
Virtually all other tools (apart from Apple's, but that's part of why I don't like them) are cross-platform. Others, especially Winni, has already come up with some good points. It cost nothing to us and in the worst case it will have no effect. One action, that was already launched in the past, could be to include in our published apps a message like "Developed with B4X" in the app info or in the splash screen. It will not be easy to Spread the Word, but it's not impossible. One aspect that many people miss is that the final APK generated by B4X is equal to the one generated by ANDROID STUDIO. I am one of them and I preferred B4X because I had already a base compared to JAVA or others. I can agree that JAVA, ANDROID STUDIO, KOTLIN, PYTHON can be, or maybe are, more powerful than B4X environment, meaning that they give you Full Access to all the Weaponry if you are able enough to learn these languages in their depth.ī4X give everyone the chance to obtain something that work in a very short time.Īnd is quite obvious that it's even more easier for people with a minimal VisualBasic knowledge due to it's great similarity in sintax. This is a consequence of the bad opinion that BASIC gained year over year.Īnd too many persons are blind minded: when the word BASIC is contained in a sentence about programming than that sentence does not deserve any attention. As many of You already stated in this discussion it looks that the main disadvantage of B4X environment is it's recalling to BASIC.
