R rworner Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 22, 2019 #1 I installed the b4A bridge on a new Galaxy Tab A device. When the app starts it displays the IP address which I confirmed matched the IP in the router table. The tablet and laptop are connected to the same 2.4ghz network. The strart button shows the Wi-Fi symbol on the button, but the button is not active. The red heart appears periodically. In the IDE under the connect section it shows the IP with the message "(not started)" after the device name. Suggestions?

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 22, 2019 #2 Installation from unknown sources is probably disabled. It should show a message when the app starts with the problem. If it doesn't show then kill B4A-Bridge and start it again. Upvote 0

R rworner Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 22, 2019 #3 I enabled installation from unknown sources and restarted the tablet. When the bridge starts now I get a message saying to Please enable installation of non-market applications... But when I check the setting is enabled. Upvote 0

R rworner Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 22, 2019 #4 The tablet requires that you enable installation from unknown sources for each separate application. I also enabled it for Chrome - which is how I loaded B4A-Bridge to the tablet. Upvote 0

All Android 8+ devices behave like this. You should allow B4A-Bridge to install other applications. Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 27, 2019 #9 Seems like your device doesn't report the correct value. Start with USB debug mode. You can later built your own version of B4A-Bridge with this check removed. Upvote 0
