Android Question b4x to eclipse

[ilan]

Can i open my b4a app in eclipse and run it from there? I know i saw a thread that talks about it but could not do it by myself. Got lots of anywhere error in my eclipse project. Can someone explain how to do it please. A client wants the source code in eclipse unless he wont buy it.

Thank you

The Java source code is available under the objects folder. You need to add references to the libraries in the project.

Note that without a B4A license he is not allowed to use the core libraries.

Ok i understand, so it is not possible to sell a source code or can i include a b4a license in the price buy from you a license and sell him the source, is this possible?

If i dont use any libs still need to add references? And how do i add references, sorry for my ignorance i just dont know java and have no experience with eclipse

Thank you

 

[Erel]

If i dont use any libs still need to add references?

Yes. There are always two jars referenced (Core.jar and B4AShared.jar).

can i include a b4a license in the price buy from you a license and sell him the source, is this possible?

Yes, it is possible.

i just dont know java and have no experience with eclipse

Right click on the project - Build Path - Configure - Libraries - Add JARs.

That's a really good question you asked @ilan.
So @Erel I presume that I could in theory do the same as ILan but using Android Studio? Thank you

So @Erel I presume that I could in theory do the same as ILan but using Android Studio?

Yes. It should work with Android Studio as well.

After importing the project and adding the external jars i see about 100 warnings. I guess thats not impotent but when i try to run its the app crashes on the simulator.

Should it run on the simulator? Like it does in b4a?

 

[Peter Simpson]

Did you manage to fix all the warning messages @ilan?

 

[Erel]

Should it run on the simulator? Like it does in b4a?

Yes.

Yes.

well in b4a it works fantastic but in eclipse i got this error:

what could be the reason??

 

[Erel]

Hard to say. Try to create a new Android project in Eclipse and then add your code and the libraries to the new project.

@ilan

Is your 'main' Activity class declared in the manifest - with the necessary launcher intent filter?
