Oh okay, I will take the plunge then.

Also found their pdf manual to be a great way to start.

Dave,

Thank you, thank you, thank you telling us about B4A! Trying to create Android apps using Eclipse and Java was driving me up a tree. I've purchase it and am absolutely delighted with it so far.

You remain the best!

Best Regards,
Paul

Dave, thanks for the discound coupon code.

Took the plunge, and just finished installing B4A. As you said, its not as complex as the first impressions suggest.

Now, for the uphill trek...

Regards,

Anand

Dave (M), and Dave (H), thank you guys, for pointing me in the right direction.

After struggling with B4A for some time, I managed to accomplish precisely what I had in mind, and more.

I now have an apk that acts like a numeric keypad for access control.

As what often happens when one learns a new environment, I went overboard with some bells and whistles which were not planned on. (Automatic enabling/disabling of the bluetooth in my Android on app launch, text-to-speech annotations and so on)

I'm sure an expert will still find it very rough at the edges, but it serves my purpose well.



If anybody would like to play around with this (remember, you'll need a bluetooth module to talk to), please pm me.

Again, thanks.

Anand

this Basic4android is indeed a great program. i just got done compiling my first app, and took me a couple of days, with the trial version.

i went ahead and shelled the 49 bucks for the enterprise version (after a 50% coupon).

so, im going to play it forward; heres a 50% coupon code, for the enterprise version; dnjqip

im trying to make an app that will allow me to use an android device as an lcd and keypad, and communicate with a pic18 by use of a bluetooth module.

if anyone has succeeded with this, please advise.
thanks

Haven't done that precisely, but I done similar projects. Android + BT + PIC is a great combination.

I, for one, am as pleased with B4A as I am with PBP.
