<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 :-) )<div>
