[AccessD] Active X Controls

I was mistaken.  Basic4Android doesn't need Eclipse. 

I now recall that I installed Eclipse when I was first looking at Android development, before I 
found B4A   

You  need to install the Java Development Kit (JDK) from Oracle and the Andorid 
Development Kit (ADK) from Google  regardless of what development environment you 
choose.

Then you can install  either the Eclipse IDE with the Android plugin if you want to develop 
directly in Java or B4A if you want to work in Basic (or both if you haven't made up your mind 
yet).

B4A offers a trial version which will let you get the feel of it.  
See the instructions here: http://www.basic4ppc.com/android/downloads.html
