Using my phone with B4A

[SJ006]

Hi I'm trying to use my Smartphone (LG Optimus One P500) to test the apps I'm making in B4A but it won't Connect to it. Any help would be appreciated.

If you have a wireless router or bluetooth, try B4A bridge. Here is the link for all the instructions. Erel has it very well documented.

I actually already found that thanks though. The PC I'm using is at my college so its connected via cable, it doesn't have Bluetooth, but my phone is connected to wireless. Any other solutions?

Another solution might be to go to the LG web site and find a driver for that specific smartphone and download it to your PC. Then, you will be able to connect directly to your phone via the USb cable.

Look at ADB WiFi.

You could also buy a cheap bluetooth dongle on ebay for a few dollars/pounds/euros/whatever.

Try removing the SD card, yes I know it sounds daft but I had the exact same problem with an LG phone and this worked for me. Here's the thread that I posted in at the time http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-getting-started-tutorials/6484-connecting-your-device-ide-4.html#post66605
It's also worth checking that the debug options are set in the phone. I can't remember the exact steps how to access this as I've not got the phone on me but if you need more assistance I'm sure I could find out.

Kind regards,
