Android Question IDE - Tools - Configure Paths - SDK Manager

[ValDog]

Open SDK Manager button does nothing. What am I missing?

 

[Erel]

Probably using wrong Java version.

Make sure to follow the installation instructions: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html#installation

 

[ValDog]

Still not following, which Java version should I be using?

 

[Erel]

If you want to use OpenJDK then you must download it from these links.

 

[ValDog]

Erel,

I've downloaded OpenjDK11 from the above link, unpacked it to C:\java.

Set configuration as:
javac.exe: "C:\java\jdk-11.0.1\bin\javac.exe"
android.jar: "C:\Android\platforms\android-28\android.jar"

Open SDK Manager button still does nothing. What am I missing?

 

[DonManfred]

android.jar: "C:\Android\platforms\android-28\android.jar"

Is it a SDK installed with the B4A SDKManager? Or is it maybe an old SDK-Installation?

 

[ValDog]

Truthfully, I don't recall. How should I proceed to get the B4A SDKManger and reinstall?

How should I proceed to get the B4A SDKManger and reinstall?

Follow the Instructions carefully. Start with a new blank Folder for the SDK:

B4A – The simple way to develop native Android apps

B4A includes all the features needed to quickly develop any type of Android app. B4A is used by tens of thousands of developers from all over the world, including companies such as NASA, HP, IBM and others.

I am pulling my hair out in frustration. I've done the install per the directions and still get nothing when I click on the Open SDK Manager. The same goes for clicking SDK Manager on the Tools menu. Clicking Run AVD Manager on the Tools menu also does nothing???

Start task manager, find a java icon, tap on the icon and kill the task. Now try to Open the B4A SDK Manager again. I sometimes (very rarely though) get his happen to me on my spare development laptop, killing the java task fixes the none functioning B4A SDK Manager button issue for me. I presume that Java is running or doing something and killing the task frees it up again, but that is on my spare laptop.

 

[Erel]

Why do you need to open the sdk manager? The additional resources downloaded during installation should include all the required components.

 

[ValDog]

Not really any good reason - just exploring the interface. Just puzzled that it does nothing...

 

[Erel]

It usually does nothing when you use Java 11 not downloaded from the instructions page.

You can download the source code and run it from B4J: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/91995/#content
