Thank you so much for your efforts to create Basic4Android.

Hi, I am new with B4Android, I was also using B4PPC but time changed and Win Mobile became useless now, because of its deficiencies...

I am in love with Android now. But creating aplications with Eclipse and Java was terrifying for me. I tried so many times to Learn Java and create some simple Android applications but every time I encounter with my ignorance. Then I quit up with that angle and gravitate to B4A.I am not new in app development. I am familiar with PHP, JavaScript, VBasic.

Today i wrote my first and very simple aplication which actually works with my smart phone.

Now because of I am very new with B4A i am trying to learn about it.
I tried Forum but it seems very unorganized.
I tried Wiki but it seems it is in very early state.
I tried PDF guide but couldn't find enough information about Syntax of B4A for beginners.
And i couldn't find any educational video on the net about b4a except Hello World.
(Sorry...)

When i make searches about my questions i encounter with B4PPC threads.
Isn't it necessary to split B4PPC from B4Android Forum?

And my suggestion...
Is it possible to create a wiki page which inludes simple code snippets and contains a list of "HOW TO" questions for beginners .Like How to show current touch point in a Label ; How to split sting values char by char ; How to add an animated rectangle on a view; How to draw something with your finger on the screen, etc...

Thanks a lot...

Did you take a look at the tutorial? they are themed and very complete....You have the animation tutorial wich shows a step by step tuturial on how to animate views...and a lot more tutorials...
And of course, part of the fun of learning is the search for relevant results...

You should use the search box in the top right corner. It will only return Basic4android related results.

I agree. I had problems like you. I didn't know where to start. If you type correct search term, you'll get what you'll need. There are lots of Erel's tutorials, but

contains a list of "HOW TO" questions for beginners

wouldn't be bad idea, if there wouldn't be these tutorials already.

I tried Forum but it seems very unorganized.

You might use Basic4android Updates and Questions category, where you can feel free to ask questions, which won't be left unanswered, yet it will be good if you will check up witch 'Search' before.

Good luck.

There is a beginners thread somewhere with hints and tips...

I strongly recommend downloading B4A HelpViewer which allows you to search for various topics. It is really great at finding code snippets too.

JP,
I agree. The web search interface should have a Next/Previous buttons to retrieve more than just 15 results. The B4A HelpViewer should have similar buttons because it is limited to only 10 results. If the # of returned values could be changed, that would be great too, but buttons are needed.
