Hello all,
I'm just at a new clients warehouse production facility 112 miles away from my home, I've been installing a new Android based product mixing app that I created using B4A, as per usual the storage solution is an MySQL database. I also supplied the client with a nice new Dell PowerEdge T330 server just to run the database which I set up as RAID 1, everything is running grrrrrrrrrreat.
I keep remembering a post in chit chat a few years ago about how B4A can't really be use for professional work for real paying clients and that people want us developers to use Eclipse cough cough cough. I remember saying back then that B4A can obviously be used for professional Android solutions especially as this community has fabulous support and most things (excluding 3D games) can easily be developed and should be developed in B4A if a developer is more comfortable using B4A over Eclipse or Android Studio.
Anyway back to the subject an hand. This particular solution is breaking my own installation record, this solution will be installed on at least 42 10" tablets, a boring job that I have to do, luckily somebody else is installing my Windows software solution onto their PC's and laptops which also share the same MySQL database.
Below is a photo of my laptop, my external monitor and B4A running tests onsite at the clients location. Once the app was passed and accepted by the director and the team of chemists, I uploaded it to Dropbox and install the app onto all 42 tablets.
I would just like to say thanks to all the library wrappers (and not yo yo yo rappers y'all), to the whole community at large for helping everybody on here with answering questions in their hours of need.
Luckily I don't really ask too many questions on here anymore, the most commonly asked questions have basically all been answered and can be found with just a quick search and a few clicks of my left mouse button. I've developed a number of different bespoke apps for clients, most of which are either driven by MySQL or SQLite synchronised to MySQL for on the move mobile solutions.
This post is just to say to all the developers on here that have said in the past that you can't really use B4A for professional development for paying clients and MUST use Eclipse or Android Studio, I say "tell that to my extremely happy clients".
Anyway thanks to B4A and this community, I ALWAYS DELIVER what my clients are looking for on time and on budget (on budget depends on app changes during development). Thanks to B4A I turn my clients Android app dreams into reality for business use.
Enjoy...
