Bug? Installing to device problem

[Artigala]

Dear support and community,
I have a sudden and strange problem.
I used B4A evevery day as usual but tonight, B4A refuse to compile normaly.
Wen I compile a basic program (hello world), compiler take many time and can't terminate.
At the end, I have the classical message "Process is running longer than expected...".
I have change timeout, resart ADB server..., no result. More surprising, I can't connect my designer to emulator or to my device (as usual).
Thinking problem with Android SDK, I have uninstall ans re-install SDK (and JDK too).
I have uninstall B4A too.
Without result. I have always same problem. No way to connect to my emulator or compile normaly...

When I compile a basic program without emulator or device connected, I have the same problem.

that's three hours I'm looking...

Please, advice me...

Thank you

Process timed out.
You can change the timeout value under Tools - IDE Options.
Restarting ADB Server may solve this problem.

Any other processes taking up cpu time? Have you extended the timeout value?

 

[Artigala]

Yes, of cource. I changed Timeout to 45, 60, 90 sec... No way.
I have no process taking cpu time.
And when I try to restart ADB Server, it take long time with same problem (timeout).
The only way is to kill process windows.
adb.exe seems to have problems to be used or restart...

It seems like a problem with ADB. Have you tried to use B4A-Bridge?

 

[Artigala]

Dear Erel,
Yes, I tried to connect my device with B4A Brigde It's ok, but no way to install a program on it.
I have completly uninstall Android SDK and remove directory and re install... No result.

 

[Erel]

Yes, I tried to connect my device with B4A Brigde It's ok, but no way to install a program on it.

What happens when you try to run an app?

 

[Artigala]

When I compile, the window stay blocked on "intalling to device..."

 

[Erel]

With B4A-Bridge?

 

[Artigala]

Yes, same problem with B4A-bridge.
Blocked on "Installing file to device."

 

[Erel]

Probably a "security" software on the device is blocking installations.

Hi,

I have the same problem. When installing to a real device it's fine, but when installing to the emulator it freezes on "Installing file to device" and then times out, even if I allow it 20 minutes or so. Sometimes this also happens when B4A Bridge has got accidentally disconnected.

Is there at least a way to cancel the installation when this happens? Having to sit and wait while the program is frozen is very frustrating.

 

[Erel]

You can try to create a new AVD.

Why is there an AVD running at all? Avoid using the emulator.

 

[Andrew Gray]

You mean test only using physical devices? Sometimes I need to test on devices that I don't actually own.

Also, sometimes B4A freezes even when I am trying to use a physical device, if B4A Bridge gets accidentally disconnected. I assume that in this situation B4A is trying and failing to connect to the AVD.

 

[Erel]

B4A will never try to connect to an AVD if there is no AVD running.

Android emulator is slow and in many cases unreliable. If you cannot use a real device then use a virtual machine such as genymotion.

 

[Andrew Gray]

Then what is the likely explanation for why B4A freezes for 20 minutes or so when trying to install to a real device that has got accidentally disconnected?

 

[Erel]

Hard to say. I never encountered this issue.
