Other B4J v7.0 BETA is available for download

[Erel]

I'm happy to release B4J v7.00 BETA. This version includes a new type of libraries named b4x libraries. b4x libraries are made of B4X code modules, general files, layout files and a manifest file. b4x libraries can be cross platform and also have other advantages over the standard compiled libraries.

Improvements:

• b4x libraries: [new feature] b4x library - a new type of library
• Auto-backups: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/new-feature-auto-backups.100010
  
  
  
  
  
• Support for compiling libraries with Java 11.
• Debugger improvements:
  - Fix for issue where resumable sub could show the wrong value for a global variable.
  - Fix for issue where the error message points to the wrong module.
• Other bug fixes and minor improvements.

Thank you for your help!!!

Is jump to line code from the log is implemented on b4J too?

No. B4Js LOG is implemented in a different way than on Android.

That's true. I do plan to bring this feature to B4J however it requires a bit more work.

The main reason for this release is for B4J to support the new b4x libs. The next version of B4i with support for these libs will probably be released next month.

Just downloaded, I'm testing it.

First test is to use the new b4xlib file type, so I copied AnotherDatePicker.b4xlib in the additional libraries folder.

I can add the CV by Designer and run the project, but then:

Unable to find part of the path: ...

If I move the lib to the Internal libraries folder it works.

You are saving the project under Program Files. This is a restricted folder. Try it with the project saved somewhere else.

No, it is in a sub folder of Documents.

BTW... take a look
------------------------------------

tedious and long-running bug.

Now I created a sub folder directly in Documents and a new b4j project there and it works.
Before it was in a... long path (but anyway in Documents).

Now, don't ask me why, both projects work

(Obviously I moved again the library from Internal to Additional)

The 'Dim' keyword is important enough for its description to be above all other windows...

hahahahaha! Best bug explanation EVER!

 

[Erel]

Truth is that this issue is in a third party SDK that the IDE uses. I can make changes but I was waiting for them to fix it. I will check it again.

Beta #2 is released. Please give it a try.

I'm working on a ABMaterial project that is hosted on a Linux VM with Open JDK 11. Tests with the beta 2 are fine!!
