Tried the suggestions without success.
Still hangs using F5...no timeout message after 12 minutes.
Compiles ok using Alt+2 but nothing appears on the emulator, even using the "hello world" example.
When a new emulator instance began, the screen showed only the android icon with the app launcher at the bottom (earlier I had the 'lock' scenario). Then a box appeared explaining how to see the apps loaded. After compiling I thought the 'hello world' app would show but it didn't.
I am using Windows 7 so the small circle rotating indicates something is going on. When I move the mouse into the right panel of the ide the circle continues to rotate but not in the left panel. I don't think this is normal.
When I used the trial version, and a couple of times with the full version the android icon appeared in the system tray for the emulator but now the icon is in the shape of the entire emulator window (small square). I don't know why the change.
After compiling, the screen tells me the file is "temp.ap_" in a deeply buried folder I may have created during the trial period but not recently.
The b4a bridge is disconnected. Is this correct?
Designer says status:disconnected...I followed the instructions and restarted adb server...still nothing..continues to say disconnected when I attempt to add a view.
Maybe I should uninstall everything except the sdk and java and start over. I will continue to fool with it until I hear back. I'm sure it is my ignorance that is the problem. :BangHead:
