I recommend switching to the latest command line tools + Android SDK. This means that you need to download a new SDK. You can keep the previous one as well.

Instructions:

  1. Download command line tools v6609375: https://developer.android.com/studio#command-tools
  2. Unpack in C:\Android
  3. Download additional resources: https://b4xfiles-4c17.kxcdn.com/b4a/resources_9_20.zip
  4. Unpack in C:\Android. It should look like this:

  5. Set android.jar path in the IDE to: C:\Android\platforms\android-30\android.jar
  6. Note that you don't need to run B4A Sdk Manager at all. All the required components are included. If you do want to run the emulator then start Tools - B4A Sdk manager, install the recommended items and create a new AVD.

Hi. I have a problem with the layouts in the beta. It worked perfectly in version 10. The application is using B4XPages. As you can see in the photo in the pages I have placed the ads at the bottom, and in all of them I have cuts. Attached image of the layout and the result in the emulator.
Most probably not related to the new version, however please start a new thread and provide more information.

I don't think previous versions did this - but I could be wrong (yes really!)

If I click on a closed region in the module pane the region that opens is not the one that I clicked but a different one, and sometimes nothing opens. I can't so far characterise this behaviour other than it seems wrong.

EDIT: To clarify, I am clicking the name of the region, not the drop down triangle at the left.

Please post text, not screenshots.
Which library are you using?

How do you record that image?
Using a nice free tool named ShareX.

It seems to jump to the correct place but highlights the wrong region. It is related to the fact that the IDE only tracks the current sub and in this case the current sub is actually the sub above the region. Bottom line is that we will need to live with this behavior for now.

Could you load the old clv library, Thanks a lot


Most (if not all) of the projects that used the old CLV, used the class module. If someone needs the old CustomListView library then I'll upload it. It can be added to the additional libs folder.
