Apr 17, 2011 Replies: 46 Just curious as to which device(s) other than the emulator are you using for testing your application. Phone or tablet? Which brand/model/where purchased,etc.? I used a borrowed Cricket android phone and experienced first hand how difficult it might be for a user to get to the buttons or enter data. It gave me good insight on things I had not thought about while designing on the emulator. Jim Schuchert Click to expand...

XverhelstX Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 17, 2011 #2 I use the Xperia X10 and Xperia PLAY. I actually got the Xperia PLAY (running android 2.3) yesterday, and I was quite amazed. The phone works extremely fast. For the designer, I use the emulator to place the things on the screen and execute them on my phones. XverhelstX

I Inman Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 17, 2011 #3 I have a Nexus One, Optimus One and Nook Color for tablet. Test my apps in all three. These devices cover all major screen resolutions. I just need a QVGA device like Galaxy Mini or Wildfire.

agraham Expert Licensed User Longtime User Apr 17, 2011 #4 I have an Eken M001 7" 600 x 800 x 1 Chinese tablet which is dead slow but not as bad as the emulator and was cheap as £60 from Ebay. It has a resistive screen. An Orange San Francisco (ZTE Blade) 480 x 800 x 1.5 phone which was also astonishingly cheap considering the spec (capacitive touch OLED screen) at £99 direct from Orange. I believe later ones were de-specced and now use an LCD screen. And a Motorola Xoom 800 x 1280 x 1 tablet which was not cheap at initially £500 then later reduced to £480 pre-ordered before launch from PC World.

G GabrielM Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 17, 2011 #6 Testing on a Samsung i5700 Spica . All tested B4A code so far is running smooth and fast. I am very satisfied with B4A overall and with the sustained support on the B4A forum. Big thanks for B4A developers and B4A community. :icon_clap:

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 17, 2011 #9 I recommend you to use a real device for the actual development. The emulator is very good for working the designer but is annoyingly slow during deployments.

T Tom Christman Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 17, 2011 #10 I use an Augen Gentouch, a Witstech a81, and a Viewsonic GTablet for development (lowest to highest speed) with noticeable performance differences. Basic4android is by far the best overall development system I have used (these include Corona, Android Simple(a defunct basic-like system from Google), and AppInventor, (along with dabbling in Eclipse with Java). I am also amazed at the wealth of developers who share their valuable time assisting newbies and veterans alike on the forums of Anywhere Software! And the inimitable founder who has time and patience for all! Thanks to all of you.:sign0060:
