USB Debugging

I'm having trouble getting B4A to connect to my phone so I can install my app directly to my phone. I've got a Samsung S3.

I'm pretty sure that ADB is set up and working ok. I can do a ADB DEVICES command and it lists a device (which I assume is my phone). I have USB Debugging set on my phone. I can do a ADB SHELL command and then type in LS and get a list of files that are on my phone. This all tells me that my PC is communicating ok with my phone.

But in B4A when I hit F5 I get a "No device found" error. I've restarted the ADB server but that doesn't help.

It's almost as if B4A isn't talking to ADB, cos ADB sure is talking to my phone!

Is there any way to test that B4A is communicating ok with ADB? I assume I don't need to set up any paths or anything? The emulator works ok but is so slow.

Thanks for your speedy reply, Erel.

I'm pretty sure the configured path points are working, but still USB debugging doesn't want to work for me.

I've set up B4A-Bridge and that works fine, so I'll just stick to that.

Thanks for your help!

I would just copy the APK file from "Objects" to my phone then install it from there.. (the Soviet solution)

Because I tend to use an iterative programming technique, where I make a small change and see how it works and then make another small change, etc, manually copying the .apk is a hassle. But I've got B4A Bridge working and it seems nice and fast.

I'm slowly working my way through the tutorials and I'm very pleased with how easy this is compared to the whole Eclipse/Java thing (which I did get working but because I'm not much of a Java programmer I struggled with it). BASIC is way easier, I've been programming in BASIC for the last 30 odd years.
