Were happy to announce the release of Basic4ppc Version 3.0!
Basic4ppc is a VB like development environment which allows programming on the desktop or directly on the handled device, costing only 29$ US
With V. 3.0 you can compile your applications to an executable file (EXE) with no runtimes needed, and distribute cool applications you make royalty free! :shock:
This version also allows you to build database applications easily.
You can read what our users think about Basic4ppc in: http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/basic4ppc/messages/506
Or see the enlightening review by "ppcgems": http://ppcgems.blogspot.com/2006/03/basic4ppc.html
As much as we know, Basic4ppc is the most affordable solution for Windows Mobile application development.

Enjoy!
Hello all,
This post is in regard to the Google Android Challenge put out by Google to create/develop new software for the Google Android shell. If you haven't had a chance to read about it, it's basically a new OS created by Google to run on any type of PDAesque cellular phone. The challenge issued is then to develop new software for this OS (written in Java) so that when it is released it will have software available for it.
My question to all of you is what software would you like to see developed for this new OS? The reason I am asking for ideas is because I am a CS undergraduate student working in a research group to create one of these programs. Ergo, I figured asking you guys what you'd like to see created would be the best way to get ideas that will make sense and benefit the community.
Any ideas you submit here may be used in the creation of new software--if you require idea copyrights that can be worked out.
Thank you all in advance,
Jake

Hello Jake,
We'll I'm a Java programmer too, not thinking of entering the challenge though. Had a quick look at the SDK for Android and it does'nt seem like pure java, more like a hybrid of C and Java does'nt it?
Since I have'nt had a thorough look at it, I'd like to ask you a few questions regarding the freedom to program on the platform.
Since it does'nt use the "normal" JVM but googles Davlik where theres no byte code but script code, does it allow better interaction with the hardware, and is it faster? Also can you implement equallizers and other effects in a media based application, which of course was not possible on J2ME. I was thinking on a All-round mediaplayer for Android, something like Rockbox which maybe found at www.rockbox.org which is a linux based program used on iPods etc.. but has been ported to Linux based EZX phones.

Akshay
Hello.
Do you know a site or thread which has basic instructions about making a "hello world" app for PPC? Just to get me started.
What tools do you guys use? (doesn't matter if they are free or not)
How do you export/publish it as a .CAB?
Thanks.
PS. I searched and didn't find a thread like this and I don't want to use somebody else's thread.
Are you familiar with programming?
I use Visual Studio 2005 to create my apps. It has the ability to create a *.cab file as well
Visual Studio 2005 is not free.
You can find tons of info at the MSDN.
You can also use some library simplifying access to pocketPC by taking care of all necessary OS calls. Xflib looks good, especially if you want to code games, there are also some examples provided with lib download, and sources for most games hosted on their site are available. Might be a good place to start if you'd like to avoid learning winAPI and get right down to coding the actual app Another good thing is that it uses open source ceGCC compiler, so MS Visual C isn't needed. Also, you won't really need to make CABS to distribute programs coded this way, since they consist of one single exe file.
Go to www.xflib.net for downloads and install instructions.
And if you're a total beginner when it comes to programming, I'd try scripting out first. Have a look at mortscript (good because of it's multi-platform usage) or AutoIt (for windows desktop)
Thanks for the answears so far .
I'm not a programming noob, but not profesional. I've done some apps and games. I plan to start with easy things first as a coin toss app... it comes quite handy... or perhaps a handy stuff thing, inclusing the coin toss, unit converting (there are many), dices, chronometer, etc. All with stadistics and many options, like a random mode and a rigged mode ;D for dice and coin toss...
Then move on to something greater, who knows.
For something like that I suppose visual studio is best. I'll try both anyway. Any advise?
By the way is there an emulator like toolkit for J2me? Something a friend can download to run it without a programming software (or a phone).
Thanks again.
Edit: I believe I found an emulator, at least for XFlib (found there).
Device emulators
visual studio has its own device emulators you just have to download the proper SDK's like WM6 sdk or WM5 sdk to be more device specific, it's supports emulator debuging and device debuging but apps made with VS tend to slower and more memory hungry than apps implemented in C. But for me it's the easiest way to app development.
can you post the emulators link or better yet the whole thing itself here if its small enuff? im also working in xflib and would be much easier to use a standalone emulator rather than the one with vs2008. thanks
My background: I dabble in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and mySQL. I've had a go at ASP/VB before too and I've created some pretty large PHP and mySQL applications in the past. But I'm no expert, I've just used what I've needed.
I'm looking to get into making some simple apps for Android and as a result I've bought these books:
Sam's Teach Yourself Java in 24hrs - I've almost read all of it and it all makes sense to me. It was quite easy since much of the syntax is the same as JavaScript's. The only thing I've had to get my head around is classes and object hierarchies, but it wasn't too bad. I stopped at the GUI programming bit since I'll be using XML for Android anyway.
Sam's Teach Yourself Android App Developement in 24hrs.
Hello, Android.
Both of these just don't hold your hand enough. For example, in the Sam's Android book in hour 7 you get told to retrieve an instance of a TextView control in the onCreate() method of the QuizSplashActivity but it doesn't tell you how you do this. The downloadable code came as a shock with a whole new class in the QuizSplashActivity.java, not the way I'd have approached it at all.
So what I'm saying, I guess, is that both these books aren't simple enough for me.
Has anyone got any recommendations for books? I don't like learning from the web, I've read a lot at the google resources and I need a book to take me on a linear journey of what I need.
I'm not sure about learning java, however once you get your head around the object orientated stuff it isn't that bad. I don't know of any great books but The Java Tutorials has good info.
Once your familiar with java then take a look at developer.android.com for making android applications. And remember, google is your friend.
Hope it helps
Hi all,
I wanted just to bring to the attention of all "newbies" like me on the Android application development, that now it's possible to develop really good apps in a very short time.
I think it could be a very good start point for starting developing Android apps.
I learned about this environment by chance, just performing some google searches for starting collecting info on Android development (Eclipse, ADT, etc.etc.), just when I started to be highly bored with Java.
The good news is that "no Java" language knownledge is required since all the application develepment is done using the BASIC
For furter info about this wonderful IDE (with integrated Debugger) you can refer to the following website : www[.]basic4ppc[.]com
Well....what else to say....have a good Android app development !
If you decide, after having used the trial version, to purchase a license you can use the discount code "bhzepr" to have it with 50% off
(Important: to use the discount code you have to select the PLIMUS purchase link and insert then it in the proper field)
Using it you can have the Enterprise version at half price.
Have fun !
