Android Question B4A and B4i compatibility

[Jeff Mahoney]

I own an older version of B4A that I played with a couple years ago. I'm getting back into my programming passion.

I'd like to know how compatible the B4A and B4i compilers are to each other. Meaning, if I want to write a single application, how much work would I expect to go through each time I made any changes to one or the other? Can I simply copy the code into the other compiler and be done?

Thanks for your time.

Jeff

Thank you eurojam. I thought it might have been discussed, so I tried a couple search strings in vain. Once I get into my project, I'll come back and seek more experiences for converting.

Did you have a look at the B4i Beginner's Guide?
Chapter 11 Differences B4i <> B4A may help you.
Be aware that B4A and B4i are different operating systems with their specificities.
Common basic operations, no user interface, are the same.
You may have a look at the SQLiteLight examples in my signature they exist for B4A and B4i.
