I just updated to the new android 8 sdk

It changed the location to platforms\androidx

because it needed that location from anroid 8

I can change the android.jar path but it does not work anymore
because when want to connect designer it still locates the path to:

B4X:
---------------------------
Basic4android
---------------------------
An error occurred.
Cannot find: C:\android-sdk-windows\[COLOR="Red"]tools\adb.exe[/COLOR]
Please configure paths (Tools - Configure Paths).
Restarting ADB Server may solve this problem.
Main - Tools - Restart ADB Server
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

my path settings
C:\android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-4\android.jar

android update 8 changes that location, so it won't work anymore

android 8 automatically move the previous tools dir to:

c:\sdk\temp\ToolPackage.old01

this is the new location where adb.exe is located
this holds:\
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
emulator.exe


I just moved the above file again to the tools and then it worked again, don't copy emulator.exe because android 8 uses the latest one

My experience was different. When I upgraded to Android8 only the three adb files were moved to ToolPackage.old001 and I got a new version of adb.exe placed in the tools folder that is a slightly different size, 577,335 bytes created 1st October 2010, compared to the old one, 578,611 bytes created 7th May 2010. Curiously both say they are version 1.0.26.

I guess I got the new emulator as all the files in the tools folder and its sub-folders are now dated 1st October 2010.
