Ooops, I did it again! As always, as soon as I post on here I think of the one thing I haven't tried.
In case anyone else find themselves in this situation:
You need to enable developer mode in the emulator (just as you would with a physical device!!!) and allow USB debugging etc...

OK, I take it back, further along but still having problems:

Installing file to device. Error
Process timed out.
You can change it under Tools - IDE Options.

Click to expand...

I have changed it to 5 minutes but still times out...
Any ideas?

Thanks

You don't need to do anything special to debug on the emulator. Are you using B4A Sdk Manager to create the AVD?

Hi Erel,

I am have tried using the default 6 inch device (plus a few variants created in there) and launching it from within b4a->tools->run AVD manager.
I am not even getting the timeout message anymore; just no device found.
The emulator looks like it has loaded but is completely unresponsive.

Not really a b4a problem but grateful for any advice you can offer.

Thanks

Have you created the AVD with B4A Sdk manager?

Try to delete all AVDs and create a new one.

Deleted them all, recreated and set the developer options. Now getting:

adb: failed to install DeliveryConfirmation_DEBUG.apk:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113]

Click to expand...

I guess I am missing a library; will do some googling and see where I get to.

Thanks Erel

Sounds like you are using a library that includes native binaries that are not compatible with the emulator. SQLCipher for example.

Ah, yes I am using SQLCipher..
Are there any other emulators that I can use with b4a that allow debugging?
I have tried BlueStacks in the past which will run the apk's OK but cant find a way to debug with it.

You can use any Android emulator you like with B4A. However SQLCipher will only run on real devices as the x86 binaries were removed.

OK, Erel, thanks for clarifying.
I only wanted it so I could code remotely, unfortunately all of my projects use SQLCipher so I guess I will just have to copy sources around.
Thanks for your help.
