Other B4A v13.3 is available for download

[Erel]

I'm happy to release a new version of B4A. This update adds a new #Macro attribute, for the declaration of IDEs macros, as well as other new features and improvements:

• #Macro attribute. Defined in B4XMainPage or Main modules. Format: <type>, <name>, <link>. Type can be Title or After Save. More to come in the future. Link is based on the comment link feature: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/119897/#content
  Examples:
  
  #Macro: Title, B4XOrderedMap Doc, https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-b4xorderedmap-get-first-item-nth-item-and-last-item.118642/
  #Macro: Title, B4XPages Export, ide://run?File=%B4X%\Zipper.jar&Args=Project.zip
  'open Objects folder after saving project:
  #Macro: After Save, open objects folder, ide://run?File=%WINDIR%\explorer.exe&Args=%PROJECT%\Objects
  
  
• New command line options for the IDE:
  -INI=<ini file path> - allows running the IDE with an alternative INI file. Note that that standard INI file is stored under: C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Anywhere Software\b4xV5.ini
  -INI_<property key here>=<property value>
  Example:
  
  "c:\Program files\Anywhere Software\b4a\b4a.exe" -INI_CodeTheme=Dark "-INI_TitleNotEmpty=This is the second IDE: $FILE_NAME$"
• New TitleEmpty and TitleNotEmpty INI keys. Can be used to customize the main window title. Support three replacement variables: $PRODUCT$ - B4A/B4J..., $FILE_NAME$ - project name, $FILE_PATH$ - project path.
• New internal keywords: Initialized and NotInitialized:
  
  If Map1 <> Null And Map1.IsInitialized Then ... 'boring
  If Initialized(Map1) Then ... 'less boring
• B4XCollections: new helper methods: EmptyList, EmptyMap, MergeMaps, MergeLists, CreateList, CopyOnWriteMap and CopyOnWriteList.
• Updated internal libraries: XUI Views v2.66, B4XCollections v1.15, Core v13.2.
• Other bug fixes and minor improvements.

This means we can have multiple versions of the IDE on one computer without manually switching b4xV5.ini ?

Yes.

Is the recommended SKD still 34?

 

[teddybear]

Is the recommended SKD still 34?

The command line tools and required resources have not been updated , it should still be sdk34.

 

[AmirPYTHON]

After install I have Version 13.10 installed instead of 13.30
(I have followed all instructions ans updated SDK)
What I made wrong ?

you use last version of SDK?

 

[Erel]

Is the recommended SKD still 34?

Yes.

 

[Serge Bertet]

you use last version of SDK?

I just tried to install v13.30 directly from v13.00 it was impossible.
After installing first v13.10 I am now able to install the latest v13.30, it's disturbing when you don't know.

Please start a new thread and provide more information. It is most likely not related to the update.

Hi,

I downloaded B4A from: https://www.b4x.com/android/files/B4A.exe

I am on Windows 10 22H2 and received this when attempting to run the installer:

The installer is signed:

Thanks.

 

[teddybear]

Click More info and then run anyway

This is expected

click on MORE INFO and use the method to run it from there

 

[basic4mace]

I know how to work around it, just never had this problem with a B4A installer before.

Thanks.

The purpose of Initialized is to replace these two conditions into one. Is there a link explaining how to use it?
Sample ( 2 if comment. 1 if added -> ok?)

If Initialized(ControlActivo) Then
    'If ControlActivo.IsInitialized Then
    '    If ControlActivo <> Null Then
            modB4A.FocoTotaXUI(ControlActivo)
            If modB4A.v_CBarras <> "" Then
                ControlActivo.Text = modB4A.v_CBarras
                modB4A.v_CBarras  = ""
            End If
    '    End If
    'End If
end if

 

[Erel]

Yes. It checks whether the variable is not null and is initialized (if there is an Initialize method).
