I'm very happy to release Basic4android v2.52. This version includes many important new features and improvements. The focus in this update is on large projects.
Performance improvements
Compilation time in debug mode is similar to compilation in release mode.
Many performance and memory related improvements in the IDE. The IDE should be much more responsive (some of the improvements will only be applied after you first save the project with the new version).
New features
Compile to library. This feature allows you to reuse components and break large projects into smaller projects.
All customers who are eligible for a free update should receive a mail with update instructions. Other customers will receive a mail with a discount offer.
Please allow up to 24 hours for the mail to arrive.
I want to thank all the customers who helped with the beta version, and also all the members of this great community!

Edit: Basic4android v2.52 is now available to all users who received version 2.50. You can use the same link as before. This update fixes several IDE issues as well as an issue related to user types in library compilation mode.
Erel, congratulations!
I am so lucky of being here and firmly beleive I am prevlged for receiving such superiour service that's secobd to none.
I am always ready to support b4a witg whatever I can.
keep up the good work.
Hi Erel,
If I create The Thai Calendar in Apk file,I could convert to be Library files(both jar file and Xml file) ,Is right? It look like TwoActivity,but anybody couldn't see source code about Thai Calendar. It is easy way to make library files.
Thanks Erel, I do most development on OsX. I have managed to run some windows-based programs on Mac via Wine emulation. But in the case of B4A that need the SDK, is there a way to compile with the MacOSx SDK or any other way ?
Great.
I bought b4a about 7 days ago and fall in love completely. And already developed my first app for my client which is a big achievement for me. Because with pure java, I was very slow.
Anyway, wish b4a live long And definitely same renewal fee in future
Ok. Didn't remember reading this in original Beta announcement. The documentation doesn't give an example, so does it use the existing DateFormat and TimeFormat to determine the format of the 2 Strings passed? For me this wouldn't be an improvement unless you made a DateTimeFormat(String Date, String Time) that sets different format variables. Currently I read a DateTime string from a database on the handheld and out of MySQL, so I need to set one of the existing Format strings to be Date and Time, so if this uses those two for formatting it won't work.
Also, having this like this really just combined two function calls into one. If we already have Date and Time on their own we can use the existing functions. The problem was when we had Date and Time together in one string and needed to parse it. So, a function like DateTimeParse(String DateTime) was needed. Then just a 3rd Format String like DateTimeFormat(String DateTimeFormat). I'm not saying it is a bad addition or anything since it does eliminate having to concatenate Date and Time and extra parsing, but it still is just used for the case where you have a Date and a Time on their own and not together.
If the existing DateParse did it with a Custom Format, wouldn't you already have the code from it and only need to concatenate the Date and Time Strings the new function has, concatenate the two Format strings into one and process it with the same code that DateParse uses?
What you say is correct. However I think that having a method that parses the two strings together without the need to create a combined format is more intuitive. Anyway both options are now available.
