Android Question B4A IDE Crash!

[vfafou]

Hello!
Sometimes I have the following problem with B4A IDE:
If I have a designer window open and I declare the objects of the layout with the views dialog, may the IDE when I return to code window crash with the following behaviour:
The editor freezes and after many clicks on Window Close X button it appears that the IDE tries to show a Notification Dialog but I have never seen this normally. A screenshot is attached!
Sometimes it freezes my Windows 10 and I'm forced to reset the computer!
Note that this is not so often and it surely appears to every version from v8. Now, with version 10 it's a little more often!
Does anyone have the same problem?

You try to reinstall B4A?
On your Windows 10 Event Viewer what error message you get after crash?

do you have auto save or auto backup enabled?

It looks like a low level problem. Maybe an incompatibility with the display driver.

It is worth enabling IDE logs: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/posts/50478/

Hello @makis_best!
Thank you for your response!
I haven't looked at the event viewer! I'll look at them and if I found something notable I'll write a new post!

Hello Alain!
Thank you for your response!
Yes, I have auto save and auto backup enabled! Have you noticed something relevant to these features?

Hello Erel!
Thank you for your reply!
I'll enable the IDE logs and I'll post when the problem occur again!
Thank you very much!

Yes. I have the auto backup disabled because I also had IDE freezes in my (large) projects.

HI, please check your windows events, maybe it will related to some disk or memory issue.

Without Event Viewer error log we can't help you any farther.

Hi..Erel,
I am also facing same problem.....What things are same as Mr. vfafu, that...
1) I am using windows 10 with my 4gb ram laptop.
2) This problem arose more frequently when i upgraded to b4a 10
3) This is the case on both of my laptops...i am facing the problem. both of them have windows 10 with 4 gb ram.
4) My doubt...not sure... may be this is just co-incidence but meanwhile i had also installed b4j on same laptop....(But not using b4j as of now).....can b4j be the reason behind this? Should I uninstall it?
5) I disabled autobackup....changed maxram.... problem frequency was low for some period...but now again ide started to freeze frequently.
6) As of now, I am testing my php restfull api with b4a app. I am using local xamp... and online webserver...time to time..
So bottomline is that, ----i doubt if 4gb ram is not enough for me afterwards?? as i am using windows 10 and b4a 10 version, Is this the problem of low ram?

Update - Just now I noticed that my windows 10 update section is showing 'Your device is missing important security and quality fixes'...So i am trying to update windows 10.
After that I will check whether the problem is gone or not. But please tell me that is 4gb ram enough for me or not.
regards....

4 gb looks enough here. No such problem faced.



May be xamp eating up too much memory.

ok..thank u very much for your response.
I am also updating windows....i will see what happens then. But if xamp is culprit as you say, then what to do?

 

[AnandGupta]

But if xamp is culprit as you say, then what to do?

That is my guess, as I do not use Xamp.

Then you have to try by only starting B4A and checking, as it will get full ram.
Then one by one start other programs and check.
A sort of debugging of ram.

Definitely xamp is causing problem.
I tried reducing table definition cache of xamp but no use. When xamp is not running, b4a ide not freezing.
So is there any solution? Or increasing ram is the way out?

 

[DonManfred]

Or increasing ram is the way out?

4GB is not much. Especially when running a Webserver and Database also.

My dev-Machine is using Win 10, no running Webserver and i do have 32GB Ram.
The Server running our Webserver (xampp) have 32GB also.

Thank you for your advice, sir...
And sorry for late response....
I think as you said, i should increase RAM -- at least 8 gb ram and static hard disk....
Thanks again....
