For the 1st time, I've attempted to compile a program. It seemed to work as I now have a xxx.b file and I can run it. My question is if there is a way to make this a runnable file from an icon, rather than having to select X-11 BASIC, load the file, and select RUN?
As always, I appreciate the great help you always have provided. -Kevin

I think I know what you’re thinking, and it probably goes something like “if this guy can’t figure this out, then he probably shouldn’t be using X11 in the 1st place. And I understand. I am a retired engineer with a fairly extensive s/w background, but all of it is old tech, 8080, 8085, etc. I have googled this, and tried several things, but I am not savvy with cell phone technology. Would you mind a primer on how to create a desktop shortcut from a compiled basic app? I would appreciate it. - Kevin

There is aa paragraph on this in the user's manual. Page 17. Maybe you want to read this .. unfortunately it is slightly different on each device and for each android version ..

I wanted to keep you in the loop in case you were interested. I was able to finally get a shortcut after trying several things from page 17 of the manual. By the way, I have V5.1.1 Android. The icon is that of a fused bomb. Is that per design (scary to try).? However, the object file does not provide the same (adequate results) as the .bas or .b file loaded from the x11 launcher, so I’m going to have to give up on that for now.
Thanks for your help again… Kevin

Yes, the icon currently can only be the bomb.
Can you be more specific about the inadequate results when your program is started from the desktop shortcut?
