Description

(Note: you also need Paul Laughton's BASIC! on your Android device (available on Google Play), and the BASIC! Launcher PC Package on your computer.)

BASIC! is a simple yet powerful dialect of Dartmouth Basic that allows you to write and run programs directly on your Android device.
While BASIC! includes a built-in editor, many users expressed the need to write their program on their own computer, and be able to test it on Android with a simple press of a key.
BASIC! Launcher offers you that: you get the comfort of a keyboard + big screen as well as a rich code editor and by pressing F5 your program is instantly transfered over the air and launched on your Android device for immediate testing.

After download, run the BASIC! Launcher (WiFi) on your Android device and hit the Home key to send it to the background. The app will intercept transfers from your computer and launch the incoming program. No additional configuration needed; as long as computer and phone are on the same LAN they autodetect each other.

You will need in addition to this app:
- BASIC! (on your Android) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rfo.basic
- BASIC! Launcher PC Package (on your computer) http://mougino.free.fr/basiclauncher.html

NB1: the transfer of the file can also be done by cable with the Android device plugged to your computer (USB-debugging option needs to be activated). In this case you don't need the BASIC! WiFi Launcher of course, but you still need BASIC! and the BASIC! Launcher PC Package. See details at http://mougino.free.fr/basiclauncher.html

NB2: after developing and testing your BASIC! program, you could be interested to build it into an APK and distribute it (for example on Google Play) then have a look at my other software RFO-BASIC! App Builder at http://mougino.free.fr/appbuilder.html

BASIC! Launcher (WiFi) was written in BASIC! for Android and compiled with RFO-BASIC! App Builder. Its source code is under GNU GPL license and available at http://mougino.free.fr/basiclauncher_sourcecode.html

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

2 ★Haven't been able to figue it out or write any programs - was proficient in GWBasic for DOS - this is totally different and no manual to help - it's not like QBasic either or any Basic I'm familiar with - a good manual would be fantastic
4 ★here is a something. search for rfo basic in the android play store and at least in in android 8 it is not listed. NOT GOOD But a discovery today showed me android isnt the only player in town. Did you know AMAZON have an app store and it is listed! and downloads! and works! Android should be opening doors to starter programmers or even us nostalgic old timers not shutting doors . Android i think is based on Linux and probably a free version of that ! they are Shutting out home programmers
2 ★Android app wants v 0.8 on PC. I installed the latest PC version and it is apparently still v0.7. Android app aborts.
5 ★Very easy to use for development
5 ★Makes testing Basic so simple and fast.
