what i try:

- reinstall b4a (latest version 10.5)
- replaced sdk folder
- replaced SDK tools folder
- installed all suggested SDK packages in SDK manager
- reinstall android studio
- restarted pc about 14 times
- searched here without any success
- searched google also without any success (all i got there was using multi dex and that did not resolve the issue)

i need to mention that I had other errors that i managed to solve but got stuck on this error:

For error
B4X: 
com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536
you need to set
B4X: 
#MultiDex: True
for second error after you have set #MultiDex: True I don't have any solution.

Did you update the Android SDK Command line tools and required resources ?

Double check you have followed rigidly every step: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html
Use 7-Zip to extract Zips, Windows Extract can/does corrupt the folder structure.

yes i did. so i can tell exactly what i did.

1. i removed everything in my c:\Android folder
2. download Android SDK Command Line tools (ver 6609375 ) and copy to c:\Android Folder
3. download required resources and copy to c:\Android Folder

NOW! if i try to run the project it WORKS!

then i open SDK Manager and update ALL suggested packages and here starts the issue

i get Error when i try to build about
androidx.work:work-runtime is missing

so i go to sdk manager and install that package

then i get a new error:
com.google.firebase/firebase-encoders so i go to sdk manager and install that package

after that i get the error:

so there is a package in the SDK suggested packages that does the problem.

this is the list that the SDK Managaer wants me to install after re-install the required resourcess.

AGAIN, if i don't install those Packages everything runs fine after installing them i need to install 2 more packages as described above and then i get the Dexer error.

what should i do?

In most cases you don't need to touch the sdk manager at all

:eek:
really? i always made sure i was up to date in the sdk manager and that usually broke something in my code.
if i download the "required resources" and the "command line tool" and unzip to c:\android folder everything works fine only after updating the packages in sdk manager i start getting problems. but if you say i dont have to update then it is fine for me. :)

As erel already said. In most cases you dont need to update the sdk packages.

download the "required resources" and the "command line tool" and unzip to c:\android folder. But first remove everything from that folder as explained in the b4a install documentation.
