Dave, that's interesting because I trawled round the same things - just
from a hobby pov. I was initially attracted to Basic4Android but was put
off by the fact that it just (!) produces Java as 'intercode'; so I
decided to have another (hobbyist) look at Java. I was put off when I
first looked at it some years ago cos' it was too slow, and was too
purist OOP for me. I am taking another look now and so far it seems OK
- I would have thought it was nearer to C# (sqiggly brkt) than Basic is?

Hi guys,
I have looked at all types of android development systems/IDE's over the last
few months as I need to replace our PDA stock take system (C# Microsoft) which
also needs some modifications. The most important reason to change however was
the requirement to show more data than is possible on a small PDA screen.
Most of the IDE's I have looked at such as Eclipse and Titanium are all based
on Java and involve some fairly steep learning/familiarisation times so, even
though I have been using them I haven't really entered into any serious
development. The good news is however, that I have found a product called
Basic4Android that simply blows all others away as it is quick, easy and well
supported and only costs 35 UK Pounds.
In a day and a half I have cloned our PDA system to run on a Galaxy 7" tab and
also an android phone such as the S3 and we will be testing it out during our
Christmas stock take. it really is GOOD and all the libraries are there with a great
support forum and willing developers. Most if all, development is really quick,
especially if you have ever done Visual Basic 6. The language has full OOP support
and loads of libraries to drive the camera, gps etc.. etc. and it is fast as it
generates native Java code from the compiler. It also works with the Eclips system
emulator so you can get a development system up and running quickly without any
hardware.
If anyone needs to generate Android apps quickly then this is the tool to use.
I'll be putting up a blog about it soon. You can download the trial version
which is completely unlocked but you can't use the additional libraries for
attached devices or SQL Lite.
