Android Question B4ABridge does not light "install" button

[DOM85]

Hi all,
I am using B4A 5.20, B4ABridge 2.14, and a smartphone under ANDROID 7.0.
When i compile an application, B4ABridge displays "CANCEL" button, and "Install" button remains gray and non activated.
So i have to use FTP for transferring my apk program to the smartphone.

Is my B4A license too old, or any other explanation ?

Thank you for your help.
Dom.

Hello,
I have this problem on one of my phones.
I can't quite remember what causes it.
I think Erel may have mentioned it has something to do with an install code – changing the package name allowed it to install.
It was not an option for me to continue with the new package name…
I found that clicking on the square "recent apps" Android button then selecting the installer app brought back the installer with the Install button active.
Search these forums for the previous thread – maybe search for something like "install button grayed".

Barry.

When i compile an application, B4ABridge displays "CANCEL" button, and "Install" button remains gray and non activated.

This usually happens when there is an app running that is allowed to draw over other apps. As a security measure the OS prevents installation of other apps.

Note that B4A 5.20 is quite old now and your apps will not work properly on new devices.
android.jar / targetSdkVersion / minSdkVersion

I closed all apps running in the smartphone, then i tried to compile my program. The "install" button remained gray (non activated).
Erel, do you think that this problem would be solved under a recent B4A release ?

B4ABridge 2.14

The newest Bridge Version is 2.51

Erel, do you think that this problem would be solved under a recent B4A release ?

I´m sure it will.

I am using the Bridge (V2.51) with Android 8, B4A 8

Maybe it helps if you use the newest version of the Bridge:

B4abridge 2.51 solved the problem.

However, as you advice i will update B4A with recent release.

Thank you !

Erel adviced it.

If he had not adviced i would do it. By end of the Year all B4A Developers needs to updgrade to B4A 8+ if they want to use their apps on new devices.
