Hi all,
Ever since I installed the latest version of B4A, when connected to the bridge, when I try and debug an app it tells me I "need to configure paths first" and takes me to the dialog box to enter the java and android sdk paths. This didnt happen with before. Isnt the whole idea of using the bridge that the app runs on the android device (mine is an AT100 by the way) and that installing the sdk and such isnt needed? The fersion of bridge I run is 2.07

Can anyone help?

This isn't really related to B4A-Bridge. The trial version supports two compilation modes: remote compilation and local compilation.

In remote compilation your code is sent to a server which compiles the APK for you. Remote compilation is slower and is limited to small files (without any libraries). You should follow the instructions here to setup local compilation mode:

No, using the bridge avoids the need to install a USB driver for the Android device on your PC and using a USB cable to connect them together. The trial version has a remote compilation option to avoid installing the Android SDK. The full version needs the SDK installed on your PC. See the section "Local compilation / Full version:" in Erels link above.
