- I just purchased and downloaded Basic4Android v2.2
- I am following instructions from
Basic4android (Basic for Android) - Android programming with Gui designer
- I downloaded JAVA JDK to C:/Program Files/Java
- I chose the file jdk-7u7-windows-i586.exe from Oracle site
- I ran the Application file java in the bin folder to install it
- I downloaded Android SDK and installed it in folder C:\Android
- I installed Basic4Android and ran the program
- In tools -> configure paths, in the bin directory, I am not able to find file javac.exe
- I am also not able to locate android.jar

What do I do next?
What is it that I have done wrong?

I brought this software since it promised that I will be up and running with my first Hello World in 7 minutes, and after 1 hour, I have not progressed at all.

I am using Windows Vista.

This is a user error mate, don't blame the software. 25,000 other people have managed to get it up and running.

Anyways, have you bothered to do a search on your computer for those files?

I did search and could locate javac.exe in c:\Android\bin
I am not able to see android.jar on my computer

Android SDK manager shows Android SDK Tools are installed.

What might I have done wrong?

Also, in the instructions for installing Android SDK, it says

Install the platform tools and at least one platform image. You can use API 8 or above.

How do I do this?

After you install Java, javac.exe should be located in C:/Program Files/Java/bin

Installing a platform is done by starting SDK manager (from Android SDK folder) and then choosing a platform.

I located javac.exe
In Android SDK manager, this is what I see. See attached.
How do I choose the platform?

I am now able to create a sample application, download to my Android device using B4A - Bridge and Bluetooth.

I have my development environment all working now.

It took me about 5 hours to get this working.
Thanks for the quick support when needed.
Appreciate it guys.
