Android Question B4A Version 3.0 Java problem

[TomA]

Ever since I started working with version 3.0, I noticed that sometimes, fairly often, my computer seems to go away and not respond at all. I finally discovered that, for some reason, when B4A is running, it often seems to start java.exe and that program can consume as much as 99% of the CPU cycles. Can anyone tell me what is going on here - I did not seem to have this problem with the earlier (2.70) version. I am running XP Pro, service pack 3, 1.79GHz processor, 2.43G of ram.

The Java process is the "optimized dexer" process. It makes compilation faster. It is not new in v3.0.

You can disable it by closing the IDE, open the ini file under %appdata%\Anywhere Software\Basic4android and set MaxRemForDex to 0.

Thanks Erel - that seems to have solved the problem. Any idea of why it would be a problem for me in 3.0 but not in 2.7?

Not sure. As I wrote this feature was not modified in v3.0.
