Test B4A on Linux Mint without Virtualbox

I'm sorry but I haven't tried to run Basic4android on Linux. What I meant is that if B4A-Bridge doesn't work you can try to use USB debugging instead.

It has error which I sent in the forum."ping failed..." I cann't connect to the real device. and the google's sdk for linux doesn't supported USB(please see the picture before)

theera , your ip from the virtual machine has to be the same as the linux machine
ther should be a setting = ip same as host, or ip passtrough then B4a sees your device thru your router/homenetwork (if you have one)
if not you have to tell your virtual machine to connect to usb ports of your computer and connect your device
and since you run the virtual machine under windows you have to install the google sdk for windows in your virtual machine

Hi alienhunter,

since you run the virtual machine under windows you have to install the google sdk for windows in your virtual machine

My strategy wasn't used the virtualbox(I have no windows in this case),I'm newbie about linux. I don't know how to setting ip adress in linux. I tired to not used the virtualbox,I used only dotnet framework2.0.

Today, a new plugin for your favourite software is available. This plugin will allows you to install all PlayOnLinux scripts without internet access !
Indeed, we had worked on numerous solutions for people who don't have internet on their computer. But these solution was partial, they were efficient only for a few scripts

Never the less, Internet access is still needed for downloading wine version

But how does it work ?

For the beginers
You just need to download the plugin here:

Then, use PlayOnLinux settings menu to install it and configure it in beginers mode
This method is easy, but you will need to have at least an access to the internet to download all our scripts.

For the advanced users
You can run your own PlayOnLinux scripts server
This server can be used for your own computer, or to share scripts through a whole network, without having access to the internet. It works on all python-compatible operating system. I tested it on Linux and Mac OS X

Hi alienhunter,
Thank you for your infomations,I think that it isn't concerned to resolved my problem. However,it help me more to learn. Perhaps, I think that there is another way to link for installation i.e. the bluetooth.
Example
if my real device is connect with pc then I use adb install myapp.apk command

I do not know why the IP address is not pingable. What I'm saying is that you should try to connect with ADB instead. It can work.

I haven't had any replies to this query on the current thread (b4linuxinstall-script-to-use-b4x-tools-in-linux.45092) for installing B4A on Linux so I thought I'd try asking you. I hope that you won't regard this as duplicate posting.

Using Linux, app compiles OK with .apk created but no connection using B4A-Bridge on WiFi: I put in ip address given by B4A-Bridge into B4A but "Error on ping address", even though I can ping same ip address OK from my Ubuntu desktop using Terminal.

I can connect by Bluetooth from my desktop to my phone and send files, after standard procedure of requesting connection and entering desktop supplied PIN into phone. But B4A-Bridge says that it's waiting for Bluetooth connections!
