Android Question Economizing Code

[Carthalion]

This is a subjective question, but how critical is economizing code in Basic4Android? I ask because my history is developing .Net sites and there it is important to consider loading time as well as how long it takes code to fire. It think that response time is a combination of Internet speed and the clock speed of the computer as well as the server processing speed.

I believe a big difference is that the .Net program has to load in a browser and the Android phone app gets installed once and is already there ready to run. With this in mind, how concerned should I be? I use thousands of lines of code and some that cycle several hundred times to calculate a math problem.

Again, I know that this is a subjective question, but I am new to B4A (a great program by the way) and I would appreciate some feedback on this.

Thank you,

Carthalion

The code size will not affect the program performance. However you should avoid repeating code and especially avoid combining data and code as it will make your project less maintainable.

In .Net, blank lines and comments increase file size. Does this impact file size in B4A?

I'm pretty sure that it is not true.

Does this impact file size in B4A?

No.
