Other B4J v9.00 is available for download

[Erel]

I'm happy to release B4J v9.00.
Download link: https://www.b4x.com/b4j.html

Improvements:

• IDE performance - several cases where the typing speed became slow were fixed. The speed difference in those cases is significant.
• #PackagerProperty can be used multiple times with the same key.
• Internal packager supports packaging non-ui apps (windows only for now). The size of a zipped non-ui package is around 14mb.
• File.DirData / XUI.DefaultFolder on Mac point to ~/Library/Application Support/[AppName] where AppName is the value set with XUI.SetDataFolder. This is similar to the behavior in Windows.
  It is required when running packed apps.
• b4xlibs - manifest file supports an Extra field. The value is a single line json string. For now it is used in B4J to add #PackagerProperty attributes automatically. It will be used for other features in the future. See XLUtils.b4xlib for an example.
• Fixed several cases where javafx.web module was required even when not using WebView.
• Add existing modules dialog - option to copy module(s) to parent folder.
• New "before packager" custom build action step.
• Other bug fixes and minor improvements.

jPOI
jPOI v5.01 is included as an internal library. There are some minor API changes. It is recommended to use the new version and especially for new projects, use XLUtils.
You should reference XLUtils even if using jPOI directly: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/129969/#content
The old version is available here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...t-excel-xls-and-xlsx-workbooks.57392/#content

Kudos Erel for all the good works. I can even sense B4A update not more than 2 weeks away

mmmmh sorry but the link in for 8.90

 

[Erel]

The link is correct. Your browser is probably returning a cached version of the file. Use a different one.

Hello
I get this error with the new version
it seems that it doesn't take into account the set path
I attach image

 

[moore_it]

put in C:\Program Files (x86)\Anywhere Software\B4J\Libraries - the .jar requested
search in google sqlite-jdbc.3.31.1.jar and download it if you don't have

 

[klaus]

The file shipped with B4J is sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2.jar.
You may update your code to use this one.

 

[Dey]

Thanks for the reply
the set path is not
C:\Program Files (x86)\Software via the Internet\B4J\libraries\sqlite-jdbc-3.31.1.jar
is
C:\B4J\Librerie aggiuntive
it seems it doesn't take into account the Paths configuartion

 

[tchart]

Thank you Erel!

 

[klaus]

I suppose that in your code you refer to sqlite-jdbc.3.31.1.jar.
You should change it to sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2.jar !

#AdditionalJar: sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2

 

[tchart]

The file shipped with B4J is sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2.jar.
You may update your code to use this one.

Should probably move to a new thread but FYI sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2 is from 2010...

 

[klaus]

sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2 is the file shipped with B4J.
Maybe you could add the sqlite-jdbc.3.31.1.jar file in the Additional Files folder.

 

[Erel]

Please start a new thread for this. It has nothing to do with the new version.

Hello to all the Anywhere Software Staff!
Thanks for all your hard work.
I wonder why there is difference in the libraries tab, concerning the installed version and the online version showing minor releases.
Am I missing something?

 

[klaus]

Thank you for reporting this.
And sorry, I had forgotten to update the Libraries list when I last updated the xChart b4xlib.
I have just updated it.

 

[Erel]

Fixed.
