B4J Question B4J Libraries and B4A Libraries

[holdemadvantage]

I haven't read tutorial but i have to ask if libraries we can use in B4J are the same we used in B4A

Thanks

The currently preinstalled libraries are:

ByteConverter is not preinstalled but it can also be used. Any library that doesn't reference an Android specific API can be used.

From the above list, the APIs are mostly identical to the similar B4A libraries. jSQL API is slightly different.

jRandomAccessFile currently doesn't support the WriteEncrypredObject / ReadEncryptedObject methods.

I try to add customlistview module but there is a warning message. I think we need to translate a lot of libs before converting our B4a project into B4J but unfortunately i'm not able. I think i will wait your and other users work and i hope this will be possible in a near future

Any example with use of webview?

 

[Erel]

WebView is currently not available. It will be added.

Is UsbSerial compatible with B4J?

 

[Erel]

No. However it shouldn't be too difficult to create a similar library for B4J.

All of the requests in this thread are now supported (with the release of beta 5, later today).

CustomListView: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/posts/204648/

WebView is supported.

UsbSerial: jSerial library - http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/jserial-library.34762/

Is there a B4J library tutorial available?
Like what about core lib features: b4shared.jar (should still be referenced?)
for AbsObjectWrapper, ViewWrapper, etc?
And what about creating the xml?

Or is this exactly (compiling) the same like Basic4Android but without referencing to any Android API?

jCore.jar seems to be the essential b4j library to reference.
Then if you're working with UI elements, you might also need to reference jFX.jar.

Those seem to be the main one or two b4j libraries to reference.

You can use the same doclet to create the xml file. You can also use jSLC which is included with SLC to build the jar / xml.
