Android Question Updating an old project

[beccoblu]

Hello sirs

I am a developer, but I am quite a newbie in the B4A world.

I inherited an old B4A project from a colleague of mine: he gave me a package containing the B4A environment, the source code, the libraries. the B4A version is 8.50. and the project uses the old HTTP library.

what steps shall I follow in order to update the code to the latest releases? If I convert every HTTP function call to its corresponding OkHttp call, the code is supposed to work seamlessly in the new environment?

thank you in advance

Probably yes, though it is highly recommended to use OkHttpUtils2. It makes http calls much simpler.

Most of the implementations based on Http or OkHttp directly are imperfect.

An other advice of Erel is to develop cross platform with B4XPages, use as much as you can B4X solutions, and use the forum search function to find solutions of the same challenges that others have already faced.
