I am a newbie to B4A. When I open a project I get a popup error: An error occurred. The system cannot find the file specified. The same error occurs when I try Tools -> Run AVD Manager. I am running B4A 4.0 and have installed the Android SDK. AVD Manager works when run from Windows -> Start -> All Programs -> Android SDK Tools - AVD Manager.

I'm no longer having the problem when opening projects, but I get the same error when I use Tools -> Run AVD Manager.
I also get the same error when Designer -> Tools -> Connect To Device / Emulator.

  • Install the SDK. The SDK doesn't work properly when it is installed in a path with spaces (like "Program Files").
    It is recommended to install it to a custom folder similar to C:\Android
    .

I do think that the pc you describe has some restrictions which block some funcions, too...

Thank you for the quick reply, but the Android SDK is installed in C:\Android. Only the android the android.jar file was in Program Files. I have moved the file to C:\
Android\Android.jar\android.jar and will get the same problems.

I uninstalled everything, JDK, Android SDK and B4A.
Running As Administrator I did the following:
1) Installed JDK 7 for x86
2) Installed Android SDK in C:\Android
3) Installed B4A

When I use Tools -> Run AVD Manager I get the error: An error occurred. The system cannot find the file specified.

I have attached a screenshot of my Configuration Paths.

Then when I attempt to the Emulator I get this error:
EmulatorConnectionError.png


Then when I restart the ADB Server I get the following error:
RestartADBServerError.png


What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Your android.jar path looks wrong. On my system, it is C:\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-21\android.jar. Also make sure that you install at least one platform. Run the SDK manager and select one to install. In my case, it was android 5.0(API 21). You would need to point the path to the API level you wish to compile with, for example, if you installed Android 4.2.2(API 17), you would point the path to C:\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-17\android.jar.

Also, the Additional Libraries and Shared Modules paths shouldn't be pointing into the SDK folder. You should set up separate folders for that. If you want to keep everything together, you could set up C:\Android\Libraries and C:\Android\SharedModules. On my system, I just set up folders under Users folder, C:Users\username\B4A\Libraries
