Try to avoid using emulator ...(slow). Did B4A-bridge connect to real devise successfully ? If yes use that method.
If you must use emulator .. google Genymotion.

No the bridge would not connect. Do I have to install a bridge on my device?

Do I have to install a bridge on my device?

Yes ..Download / Install B4A Bridge from Google Playstore.
Start App on device .. and connect in IDE . Tools > Connect .. i think.

I installed B4A-Bridge on my real device (Android smart phone) I have only a Hot Spot that is on. Tried to run the app, indicates "My IP not connected to wireless" My program tool using the bridge using the device IP doesn't connect either. Maybe not following the correct procedure. I assume I don't need a local network.

I assume I don't need a local network.

B4A Bridge connects to device over LAN.

It also has option for connect via Bluetooth. ( or it used to)
Another option is connect via USB and activate Usb debugging mode on device if it supports it.

Just confirming .. Bluetooth connection has been removed from B4A Bridge.
seem connection over hotspot is possible ... read this..
