Android Question error while compiling

[alshaqsi]

I am trying to compile my application; however, I get the an error msg each time as shown in the attached file. Please help

 

[alshaqsi]

Any clue in answering such a question?

I tried all the possible ways. I reinstall the Android SDK, and the b4a.exe. Note that I am using B4A bridge!!!

 

[Erel]

Check the bottom left corner status. Does it say connected?

 

[alshaqsi]

Yes it does. However, it gives an error msg when trying to click on connect in the WYSIWYG tab!!

 

[Erel]

1. There is a problem in your Android SDK installation. Maybe it is your antivirus software that breaks ADB.
2. What happens when you try to run the program and B4A-Bridge is connected?

 

[alshaqsi]

I reinstall the SDK twice!! the B4A bridge is connected. But the complie and rapid as weel as the WYSIWYG designer give the above mentioned error, acopy is given below:

Installing file to device. Error
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon: Result too large
error: cannot connect to daemon: Result too large

1. Which version of Windows are you using?
2. Go to Android SDK folder and run adb devices. What is the output? It should look like:

 

[alshaqsi]

I was using a proxy while downloading the SDK. Thus, I disable the proxy and then I reinstall the SDK and the b4a.exe. Now I am getting the below error msg. I changed the time out may time but no hope!!!

You did not answer Erel's questions in post #7.
Maybe you should give him the information he asked for and he might be able to help.....

 

[alshaqsi]

thanks moster67 to reminding me. It seems that I missed it. Here a screen shot of the adb devices. it is not running !!!

 

[Erel]

You still didn't answer my first question in that post. Makes it difficult to help you.

Anyway, for some unknown reason the Android SDK doesn't work properly on your computer. The B4A IDE will not work properly if 'adb devices' hangs.

The path also doesn't look correct. You should carefully follow the installation instructions: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html

 

[alshaqsi]

Regarding the version of the Windows pls note that I have windows 7 professional service pack 1.

As for ur the installation instructions, it is mentioned that the SDK does not behave properly when it is installed in a path with space embedded. Thus it is recommended to install it in another folder C:\android\platform\android-21\android.jar.
I installed mine in the following path
C:\programDats\androidFiles\platform\android-24\android.jar

According to the B4A beginners guide the path of the older versions is

C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform\android-8\android.jar


Please advice

 

[moster67]

I created a folder "C:\Android\" and installed the sdk there. It might be possible just to copy your old folder to your new location.
Make sure to modify in B4A under Tools/Configure Paths the new location for the android.jar.
If you have set adb as a system variable, then you should modify the path as well.
Try and let us know.

[Erel]

Try to increase the timeout value under Tools - IDE Options.

 

[alshaqsi]

I increased the value to 45, 50 and 60; but I am facing the same problem with the same error.

 

[Erel]

Which device are you using? Are you connected with B4A-Bridge?

 

[alshaqsi]

I have Galaxy note 3. Yes I am connected with B4A-Bridge and uploaded a screen shot in an earlier post.

 

[Erel]

Check again that B4A-Bridge is connected. The installation step should be very quick with B4A-Bridge as it only copies the APK to the device.

 

[alshaqsi]

Yes Yes Yes, I confirm that it is connected since day one.
