About this app

The developers that gave you aVBasic and aVBasic+DB now bring you aVBasicPro. aVBasicPro is the same visually oriented programming environment as aVBasic and aVBasic Free, and +DB. Select a control with the menu selection "New Control," drag it to where you want it on the screen, and touch it to change it, then add BASIC code to it. One line of BASIC can do a lot.

aVBasic Pro allows you to write your own applications and run them on your device. Using an extended version of the Basic language, you are able to add labels, text fields, buttons and switches on your screen, add code to them, and run your application.

With a comprehensive document included, you can read about the features available to you. It is fun and educational, great for a fifth grader or above.

In addition, aVBasicPro includes a database based on the public domain sqlite engine. You may exchange databases with your PC or Mac or other tablet or phone. aVBasicPro does not support encrypted databases.

aVBasicPro supports device rotation. Place your controls on the screen, rotate the device, move the controls to where you want them to appear in that orientation, and you are done.

aVBasicPro allows you to drop controls onto your device screen, drag them where you want them, and then touch them to write the code for the application. Using an enhanced version of the BASIC language, you place controls on your screen, add code to them, and run your application.

For example, use New Control to add a button, touch the button and touch the "edit code for button push event" button and then add the line " say["hello"] " touch the ok button, then the next ok button, then touch the Running Man so it turns into a stop sign, and touch the button you added. Your device will speak "hello".

aVBasicPro is an extended form of Basic, using labels instead of line number, and extended with functions that allow you to use the power of the standard Android controls and screen. Some of the commands available are EnableControl, DisableControl, HideControl, ShowControl, GetControlValue, DrawArc, DrawLine, DrawOval, DrawPoly, DrawRect, DrawText, FillOval, poly, rectangle, isPointInRect, setFingerPaint, and SetLineWidth.
