Erel,

while Honeycomb introduced new features, it didn't really matter since it was more related to tablets (although still important) but not so important for me personally. Now with ICS, I guess other new features such as views and APIs have been introduced and maybe now it is more important since ICS is a unified and a standard OS-version both for smartphones and tablets.

That said, I noted that for instance setting target as 14 in manifest-file will make many views run with correct ICS-style under ICS and still working on older devices. That is great.

However, there are some new APIs such as the Calendar-api which I believe is new from 4.0. Probably others as well. In this case, I guess we cannot use them in B4A unless one personally make a wrapper-library.

In view of what mentioned above, I am wondering if you with the next releases of B4A, are going to support many of these new APIs and perhaps also other new views in order to let us B4A-developers use all features of ICS in full (or at least the most important ones)?

As always, thanks for your support!
