<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best of all – free.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>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 :-) )
