Hi Don,
Thanks and I am using the latest version of b4a.. 11.50
D8 is in the lib folder but can not load to the libraries list of B4A project when I refreshed it. I added it manually to the
files in Files Manager without success.. I always get this error message:
B4A Version: 11.50

Any meaning appreciated

are you also using the new SDK? And have configured this new SDK in the IDE?
The SDK has changed some months ago. Everyone have to delete and install it new.

You are refering to an old (2 years) and outdated information. The SDK has changed a few months ago (i already told) and HAVE TO BE REPLACED by a new one.

DELETE YOUR SDK completely.

Install the SDK based on the Installationinstructions here: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html#installation
It´s just a thing of downloading two ZIPs and extract them with 7Zip....

follow the installationinstructions carefully. It will just work
