B4J Question cross platform?!

[Random]

Hi,

If I was to write code in the desktop version and then purchase the Android and Apple iOS version.
Can I compile what I have done in the desktop version to Apple and Android?

Or are they completely seperate and therefore everything having to done 3 times?

Thank you for your time.
Best regards.

You can reuse about 80% of the code. Most of the concepts are the same.

It is covered in the guides: https://www.b4x.com/android/documentation.html

Before I discovered B4J, I coded directly on B4A IDE; as code is most reusable, now I usually code directly with B4J and use conditional compilation to set platform B4X specific code

Sounds good.

Going to play with Desktop version for a bit then once I have got to grips with it progress onwards. As a VB6 user. Yet need a certain software to be cross platform.

Thanks Eral and Inakigarm.
Very highly appreciated for your help, advice and time.
Thank you and Best regards.
