Basic4android v2.30 BETA is released!

[Erel]

I'm happy to release v2.30 BETA. This version gives access to the new UI Cloud service.

This service will make it much simpler to test how your user interface scales on different types of devices.

New features:

• Basic4android UI Cloud
• Designer script supports conditions (If blocks)
• Designer script - ActivitySize keyword - returns the approximate size of the activity measured in inches
• 7" tablet default layout values changed to match the Nexus 7 values
• AutoScale scales Spinner text size
• GPS library - NMEA event

This is a beta version. Make sure to backup your projects before opening them with this version.
All users who are eligible for a free upgrade should receive an email in the next 24 hours with a link to the beta version. Note that the stable version is expected to be released next week.

This version will show as v2.26 in the about box.

Please report any network issues you encounter when sending the UI.

Great!

Dear Erel,
What a wonderful gift for Diwali !
Wishing you and our B4A family a happy and prosperous Diwali!

Really nice feature. Much easier than messing around with emulator windows like this:

VBoxManage setextradata "android23" "CustomVideoMode2" "720x1280x16"
VBoxManage startvm android23
adb connect 10.3.2.109

Device (de)selection defaults would be nice.
This will save me time and layout bugs. ty!

Works Great! Nice Job!

Some odd findings...
I am using AutoScaleExample2 provided. The DS code seems simple enough ....

The scroll view on my Nexus 7 doesn't match the UI image.

My tab extends the SV 10dips above the top border of the ToolBox Panel - whereas the UI image doesn't seem too - in portrait view.

All the "tablet" models exhibit this behavior, in portrait view.

'Variant specific script: 320x480,scale=1

'Center the Labels horizonally to the middle of the screen

lblTitle.HorizontalCenter = 50%x
lblSubTitle.HorizontalCenter = 50%x

'Center the ToolBox Panel horizonally to the middle of the screen

pnlToolBox.HorizontalCenter = 50%x

'Set the bottom ToolBox Panel border to the bottom screen border

pnlToolBox.Bottom = 100%y

'Center the ScrollView horizonally to the middle of the screen

scvTest.HorizontalCenter = 50%x

'The Scrollview fills the space between 'the bottom border of the SubTitle Label and 10dips above the top border of the ToolBox Panel

scvTest.SetTopAndBottom(lblSubTitle.Bottom, pnlToolBox.Top - 10dip)

Harris, please start a new thread for this issue and also upload the project and is possible a screen shot demonstrating the problem.

 

[Erel]

About the beta version, please report any network issues you encounter when sending the UI.

Hi Erel,

I have this error when sending a layout to the cloud, only at the office. At home it works well. Probably the firewall of the entreprise is blocking it. I only report it, this is not a big issue since actually we always use the same resolution.

I just wanted to make sure but after downloading the new version the about says version 2.26 and not 2.30 (not that it matters to me I just want to make sure I have the right version) and yes I downloaded it from the link provided in the email.

so far I have had no issues and like the new features

As the title says it's a BETA version, but the version number of 2.26.
You should have read Erels first post more carefuly: This version will show as v2.26 in the about box.

Best regards.

 

[dougc]

your right, sorry about that
