Is there any step-by-step documentaton for B4a other than the "documentation.html" which I find difficult to follow? For example, the ListView tutorial has this line of code:
Bitmap1.Initialize(File.DirAssets, "button.gif")
When I try to compile, I get a file not found error. In trying to figure out what the line is doing, I skipped 4 tutorials ahead to "Working with files", but I still can't figure out where the gif file is supposed to be and/or if I'm supposed to already have it.
I don't see any docs on the libraries, but I see a lot of them listed. Where do I got to learn more about them?
I've downloaded several user-contributed apps and can't get any of them to compile, nor can I find in the documentation what the problem is. I posted a question about the medical pills app with an error message I get, but haven't received a response yet.
I don't understand how I'm supposed to learn B4a at this rate, or how other people have managed to learn it. (I've programmed in VB for 25 years, BTW.)
