Basic4android v3.00 Becomes First Native Android Development Tool to Support Hot Code Swapping
New Rapid Debugger Tool Enables Instant App Deployment and Hot Code Swapping for Enhanced Developer Productivity
YODFAT, Israel, October 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Anywhere Software, a leading provider of developers' tools for the Android platform,
today announced the release of a major upgrade to its Basic4android
[http://www.basic4ppc.com/index.html ] development platform. The highlight of this new
version (v3.00) is a new Rapid Debugger tool that supports enhanced productivity features,
such as hot code swapping, that are not available in any other native Android development
platform.
The Rapid Debugger tool was designed to increase developers' productivity by
drastically shortening the "write code, then test result" cycle. Using standard debuggers,
it often takes 20-30 seconds (and sometimes even longer) to compile and run an app on a
mobile device. With this new tool, developers can activate rapid debugging mode and see
the results of their code changes in less than two seconds. Over the course of a
development project, this can save hours in wasted development time.
Another key feature enabled by the Rapid Debugger is hot code swapping. This allows
developers to modify the code while the app is running and view the results "on the fly",
without the need to close the app, compile the code and re-run the app. Hot code swapping
helps to streamline the coding process and saves significant time and development costs.
"Basic4android is a RAD (rapid application development) tool designed to simplify and
accelerate time-to-revenue for Android applications," said Erel Uziel, CEO of Anywhere
Software. "Our goal has always been to maximize developer productivity. With the new Rapid
Debugger tool, developers are able to quickly code and test instead of waiting for the app
to be deployed time and again."
The Beta version of this service was released last month and has received a very
enthusiastic welcome from Basic4android's community of more than 40,000 developers. For
example, one community member, Klaus, commented: "I have worked on a big project with the
Rapid Debugger in "real conditions" fine-tuning my app. It is a real pleasure working with
it and a HUGE efficiency improvement in development time."
Basic4android supports all Android phones and tablets (from Android 1.6 and up to
Android 4.3). To date, the platform has been used to develop thousands of advanced
applications including features such as: SQL databases, GPS, Serial ports (Bluetooth),
Camera, XML parsing, Web services (HTTP), JSON, Animations, Network (TCP/IP), Text To
Speech (TTS), Voice Recognition, WebView, Monetization , Graphics, NFC, USB and many more.
