Although he may not want to officially use it the community may still want it. Post a link or zip and I'm sure many people will use it

Vader, don't be disappointed and let "us" have a look and see if we like it.
It would be nice to have different choices and sources of help.
Keeping up with all updates will be hard work though, so be sure that you can.

Edit : I've looked at your document and like it. A simple example is something I miss a lot in the docs i've seen.
There's still a lot to do, but I like the structure.
Please go on...

I think this is a great resource, do you plan on keeping it up to date? If so, I would recommend you start a new thread to share this with everyone, that way you can keep it updated in that thread. This is definitely something I will be using while I code.

Begginer's guide v2.40 & source code examples

Hi and thanks for this excellent product!

I'm finally studying the beginner's guide v2.4
I found out that the example programs as described in the pdf file are not exactly the same as in SourceCode.
In particular in OneLayoutStreched in pdf code is:
B4X: 
Sub GetDevicePhysicalSize As Float
Dim lv As LayoutValues
lv = GetDeviceLayoutValues
Return Sqrt(Power(lv.Height / lv.Scale / 160, 2) + Power(lv.Width / lv.Scale
/ 160, 2))
End Sub
and in SourceCode folder code is:
B4X: 
Sub CheckDeviceType
   ' check device type, used to define text sizes
   ' should be completed if necessary
   
   lv = GetDeviceLayoutValues
   
   Select lv.Scale
   Case 2
      DeviceType = "Smartphone 5"
      TextSizeRatio = 1.5
...
...
also TestLayouts has minimal differences.
Maybe older versions in SourceCode directory?

TIA

Hi klaus,

Thanks for your time and effort on the version 2.7 released.

Why can not make the source code available on GIT HUB or Code.google so that other people can contribute to it?

All the code projects supplied with the Beginner's Guide and the User's Guide are example codes to illustrate different subjects.
All Basic4Android users can use them and modify them to their needs.
I don't think it would be really useful to put these onto GIT HUB nor Code.google which are hudge containers.
I'm sure that it is easier to search for a specific code in this forum rather than in much more general and big forums.
That's the reason why the Code Snippets subforum was created.
