Hi all, I tried to compile Erels code snipped to start a local hotspot for Android 8 and get an error:

Android Code Snippet Start Local Hotspot by Erel, 26.10.2018

 

[DonManfred]

Try to reproduce in a small project and upload trhis project. DON´T expect me to get the snippet, build an project from it and then create a hotspot so i could test.

PD: Great. So you are expecting me to search for the snippet first, then build an project.... You did searched for the thread. Why you not posted a LINK to the thread?

You need to use android.jar from platform 28 (Tools - Configure Paths).

Sorry, but I can only select android-19 ... android-25.

Follow the installation instructions: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html#installation
