Android Question No Remote Compilation Mode menu option shown

[David Proffer]

Hello,

I have just install registered version 2.71 on Windows 7 64 bit in a VMWare Fusion VM. I have installed the current B4A-Bridge software 2.08 on Android 4.0.4 tablet. I followed the download / install instructions on the android app. The two devices show as being connected.

I am following the Basic4Android PDF Step by step guide for your first Android Program Edit 1.0 2012.08.31 steps.

There is not a menu option as showing in the tutorial that says 'Remote Compilation Mode'.

I click the 'run' option anyway and I receive a 'Please configure paths first' dialog box.

I searched this forum prior to this post with the search string 'Remote Compilation' and found the only relevant post as one requesting help to test this option from the B4A author one year ago....

Thanks for your help.

The remote compilation is only available in the trial version, you have to configure the paths as indicated on the full version.

I believe Remote compilation is only available in the trial-version since the user who'd like to test B4A does not need to install JAVA JDK and SDK. It is quicker and gives a good idea what B4A can offer.

Once you have bought the full product, you really need to install JDK/SDK to take full advantage of the product.

Thanks! Hope the vendor is spiffing you, as they did a poor job of making this point clear.

The documentation seems clear about that, as you can see HERE
