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.
  • Module attributes.
  • Custom build actions - See the attributes tutorial.
  • Native support for Google maps (requires Android 3+).
  • Sign key signatures are displayed in the key dialog.
  • List Permissions button in compilation window - Lists the permissions and the objects that added them.
  • Quotes in string literals - Double quotes in string literals will be treated as a single quote:
    B4X: 
    Log("Hello ""world""") 'Will log: Hello "World"
  • RemovePermission keyword in the manifest editor.
  • DateTime.DateTimeParse keyword - Combination of DateParse and TimeParse.
  • SQL - Asynchronous queries and asynchronous batch inserts.
  • Contacts2.GetContactsAsync - Asynchronously retrieve contacts information.
  • Accessibility library.
  • Bug fixes and other minor improvements.

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!
:icon_clap:

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.

The IDE never connects in Release mode. You can only see this message in debug mode. V2.52 hasn't changed anything related to the debugger.

@mading1309, please start a new thread for this issue.

I have also this problem:

Connected to B4A-Bridge (Wifi)
Ignoring event (too many queued events: CallSubDelayed - UpdateStatus)
sending message to waiting queue (CallSubDelayed - UpdateStatus)
Ignoring event (too many queued events: CallSubDelayed - UpdateStatus)


When I use a more simple project.
I add MSSQL 1.01 library and I try read some data from database.
I use debug mode and I have information from phone application No response without any errors.
What is wrong.
All projects work correctly with libraryes.
When I update version from 2.50 to 2.52 I have only problems.
Maybe library aslo are update ?


Where is the problem ???
Please help.

Now all project can't work correctly.
When I return to version 2.50 also no work.
Maybe library are also change when I change version to 2.52 from 2.50 ?

When I implement application in relase mode and execute application I have information "Application No response".
Where is a problem ?

I use MSSQL library version 1.01 and android 4.0.4

But I use it before Update to 2.52.
In 2.50 version work correct.

But now I install once again version 2.50 and the same code no working.

I create a new code a execute is and i hava the same problem
No response . Debug and release.


The same program many times stop in the few moments.
Are a problem with compiling in debug and release mode.

Maybe B4A Brige should be update . |Now I have 2.07

Maybe some files in system 32 , registry Your application change?

Try cleaning the project once it is reloaded in version 2.50:

Tools menu > Clean Project.

Does that make it work in version 2.50?
