At the last Google I/O conference in May, Google released a complete new
download: Android Studio with everything supposedly included including an IDE
and debugging, intellisence and all.
Best of all – free.

Looks comprehensive and flash – a complete Java IDE.

I guess I was saying if you need to lean Basic4Android why not just learn how
to do what you need to in java... java is quite easy to learn... is pretty much
the Android default language, and the skills you pickup may well prove more
useful than learning Basic4Android... (speaking as someone who has learned
java, but has no idea on Basic4Android so may not be the most informed opinion
:-) )

I suspect that not everyone know or wants to learn Java. Not only that, its
not that straight forward with Java. There are a number of tools around that
mean you DON’T have to learn Java.

Hi,
Why not just do it the 'standard' java way? Free tools and very easy to get
started... access to all the APIs and lots of examples and docs as well as how
to get started tutorials.

That Basic4Android looks really interesting, maybe a silly question, but how
to make an app available to an Android device? As a download obviously, but
not quite sure how this is suppose to work. Thanks

Or wait for Embarcadero to get the Android stuff out.
The FPC stuff is a bit of a faff IMHO to get working.
I have been using a tool call Basic4Android. Don't let the "Basic" part put
you off this is a fantastic tool. It uses a language similar to VB.Net but
compiles down to a proper Java classs etc.
There is a LOT of help available and its really well supported.
Best of all, its only $49US for a 3mth support/upgrade path. But I highly
recommend it.
