Android Tutorial [B4X] B4A, B4i, B4J and B4r API documentation - B4X Object Browser

[Erel]

Do you have any plan to extend B4X Object Browser to read the brand new .b4xlibs?

This is not so simple as there is no XML file for these libs. I need to see how to make it easier to extract the documentation from the code modules.

Wow. Yes, that's a deal breaker.

I have a modified design in mind, so maybe we could work the changes in together?

The XML is not going to change. I plan to create a small B4J tool that extracts XML from b4xlibs.

If I knew the details, then maybe I could perform the extraction natively?

b4xlibs are made of non-compiled source code. Extracting the information requires parsing the source code. They are zip files. Open them with 7zip and you will see the content.

Right. So, I would need to show the source code, and probably "extract" out any public methods for the developer to see?

Yes

Yes

That's not so bad. The change I was looking at was going to be the integration of a code-editor, which fits into this requirement very well.

Hi Vader! Thanks for this great tool.
Im short sighted so I want to make a feature request. Can you add options to choose the font size?

Keep up the good work!

I should really restart this development effort. I'm currently unemployed, so I have lots of time, but at the same time, I'm also wanting to put effort into getting a job.

With .Net Core 3.0, Windows Forms will be High DPI enabled, which should help with font size issues. When it is released later this year, I should re-write the Browser.

Oh! Sorry to hear that. I Hope you find a job soon. You seems to be a good coder.

Is this available from another download location? The links to logonengine.com won't resolve.

My apologies - I mis-configured a DNS setting, and the site is currently unavailable. If you try again tomorrow (or even in a few hours?) it should be ok.

For now you can use: http://vaderconsulting.com/AutoUpdate/B4aBrowser/setup.exe

[EDIT]... either link (i.e. the original or the above one) will now work

@Erel, please close this thread for edits. 23 pages is a bit much.
