Android Question Setup B4A on Windows 8

[Michael Perakis]

Have done all that was needed to setup B4A but still no luck.
Downloaded Java, Installed Microsoft .Net Framework 4+, Download and install B4A, Installed AndroidSDK on C:\AndroidSDK folder, changed paths accordingly but when I try to compile code I get an error (near the end of compilation) saying:
Cannot find: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\plugins\tools\..\platform-tools\adb.exe
Please configure paths (Tools - Configure Paths).

adb.exe, is in the folder C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\ which I have put in "Additional Libraries" textbox since javac.exe and Android.jar paths were already occupied, but then again the have nothing to do with the path of adb.exe...

What should I do?

There is obviously something wrong with the installation instructions as they are provided...

 

[Michael Perakis]

Is it so hard to create a simpler installation procedure to take care of all necessary dependencies rather than having the user to download everything in separate steps?

 

[Erel]

The additional libraries field is not related to adb.

You should set the android.jar field to point to c:\AndroidSDK\platforms\android-x\android.jar.

 

[Michael Perakis]

There is where it is pointing...

 

[Erel]

Cannot find: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\plugins\tools\..\platform-tools\adb.exe

Based on this error message it points to a different location.

 

[Michael Perakis]

My android.jar path (second from top) is at C:\AndroidSDK\platforms\android-18\android.jar
Should I put it elsewhere?

 

[Erel]

It is correct.

Can you post the full text from the compilation window when you try to run the app?

did this ever get resolved cause i am having the same problem after my main drive crashed and had to reinstall OS and everything else?


I am on Win7, B4A 5.0.2

installer: installer_r23.0.2-windows


Getting this msg:
Cannot find: C:\Android\Android Studio\plugins\tools\..\platform-tools\adb.exe
Please configure paths (Tools - Configure Paths).


My Config Path is set as C:\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-19\android.jar


NEVER-MIND INSTALLED THE 32 BIT VERSION OF JAVA JDK PROBLEM SOLVED.

Mr.admin
can you tell me what is mention with ".." (tools\..\platform-tools) path

 

[Erel]

.. = parent folder. This path is equivalent to platform-tools.

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

 

[KMatle]

Never had any problems (from xp via WIN8 and now 10):

 

[itnishantha]

ok i understood but some peoples are already installed on different locations and there are using other software also. if you can write this full path maybe we can create folder tree and can copy adb files there.

 

[Erel]

The full path of tools\..\platform-tools is platform-tools
