Let me explain.

On your IDE, when you are writing code and you have, for example, changed some code in an Activity and you are connected in Debug mode, then all you need to do is Press Ctrl+S - (you will see the surround border change from red to green when successful) - this will then only update the changed code instead of going through the whole compile process again - a definite time saver.

I usually do this then go one screen or process step back on my connected device and then re-run the "changed" activity.

What I have found (and one of the experts can correct me if I am wrong) is that Ctrl+S does not work on the Main Activity and also it is not a short-cut if you have changed a screen layout - in those cases you need to re-compile !!

I trust this helps !!

I suppose that you are trying the MyFirstProgram from the B4X Getting started booklet.
When you ran the program, I suppose that haven't done anything on the device:
1. On the device, you need to press on the text box

to display the keyboard, enter a result and press the O K button.


This message

means that you can modify the code while the program is running and waiting for user interaction.
If you modify the code, then the program flow is stopped, and after hitting Ctrl + S the program flow is reactivated.
Look at chapter Debugging in the B4X IDE booklet, for more explanations.

EDIT: Others were faster than me:

Ctrl + S works also in the Main Activity.
But, if you need to reload a layout or reinitialize something you can click on

to rerun the program without needing to stop it and rerun it.
