Additional controls?

[visioner]

Hi, I'm new in Android and Basic4Android.
Basic4Android bundles controls to design the app. The question is:
Can I add more controls for thirdy parts to the Basic4Android Designer?
I hope you understand, my english is not so good.
Thanks in advance.

I think by controls you mean Libraries, and you can wrap the java into a B4A library (lib), if you know java.

There are several tutorials available for libraries development:
Libraries developers questions - Android Development Forum - Basic4android

With version 2.5 you can also compile your B4A int a library, but i am guessing it is the Java wrapping you are talking about

I hope this helps

"Can I add more controls for thirdy parts to the Basic4Android Designer?"

May be thinking of Third Party Controls - or as Android calls them - Views (in B4A). In Delphi, we had access to many different types; DBcontrols, Image buttons, etc. that usually came in the form of library bundles.

Custom libs and classes in B4A add more controls (views) to jazz up your project, but the designer "Add View" list contains most (if not all) stock controls (say "views" - it took me awhile too) and that's it.

New comer's should start with the beginners guide - since Android is different from what you know now ( it is awesome ). Don't worry, you will "get it". Then the fun begins... - for most - in less than a week.

thread will likely be moved to proper section - Questions.

Hi, thanks for the answer, now...
I want to add a new view in Basic4Android. This new view is presented as an Android library project and it is not a standalone JAR.
How I reference this library in Basic4Android?
Thanks again.

You will need to create a wrapper for this library. Note that the trial version doesn't support libraries.

See the libraries developers forum.
