Android Question How to connect to Galaxy Tab E

[Doublec]

I can't seem to connect via B4A Bridge. When I go to Tools/B4A Bridge/Connect
the Tab E IP address is listed. Bottom left corner of Tab states: "B4A-Bridge: Trying to connect.... But no connection is ever established.

I was successful in connecting to my Galaxy S5 phone. But not the Tablet.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Are you running B4A-Bridge on the tablet? Have you pressed on the "Listen for wireless connections" button (on the device)?

Yes I do have the B4A-bridge installed and running on my Galaxy Tab E with Android version 5.1.1.
When I load/start B4A-bridge a notice pop's up that states: "Please enable installation of non-market application. Under Settings-Security-Unknown sources. Or Settings-Application- Unknown sources"... However I can find " Unknown sources" in settings. There is a "Application" listed but not "Security".
Once b4a-bridge is running the "Status" is Disconnected. then it states: "Press on Start to listen for connections"
However both "Start - Wireless" and "Start - Bluetooth" are grayed out. "Make Discoverable" is checked. The "STOP" Button is active. When I click it nothing happens.
B4A-bridge v2.13

I am able to connect to my tab E via USB cable. that works and I can compile on have installed my first App with private key.
I would like to get the bridge working so I don't have to use a usb cable.

Thanks for your help

If you got USB debug mode to work then you should use it. USB debug mode is better than B4A-Bridge as it allows you to read the logs in all modes.

B4A-Bridge is an alternative to USB debug mode which in some cases hard to get working.
