Android Question Greetings

Hi everyone!

I just installed B4A. Firstly, I'd like to thank you all for this amazing tool and community. Let me start with two questions:

1. Many years ago I developed simple game using Basic4ppc. Is there any way to compile it with older version to try it using old pocketPC (or simply Windows)? Syntax is different now and It'll be neccessary to rewrite it for Android devices, I'd like to test it just for fun: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/bubblebreaker.2174/

2. I'm looking for a solution of "kiosk like" modification - app wchich allows users only to start selected apps and do nothing else with a device. Similar to https://www.42gears.com/products/surelock/ (may be much simplier), which prevents user even from opening settings or using camera from the homescreen. Is B4A currently capable of developing such a tool, or should I look for a different solution?

Thank you very much!

Stan

Not sure that I understand. B4A cannot be used to create Pocket PC applications. You need to use Basic4ppc.

In 99% of the cases B4A can do whatever Android can do. Kiosk applications are not trivial in Android.

Check the kiosk tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/search?query=Kiosk
