Visual designer on HTC One X (ICS) not working

[francoisg]

Hi, I tried the new ICS designer on my new HTC One X, but for some reason it never works (Can't see any views on the device). Connecting to the device seems to work as the designer app starts up on the phone, but nothing else happens.
Worked perfectly with my SE XPeria X10 before, so I'm a bit confused!

Using B4A ver 2.0 (Previous version acted the same on the One X device!!!)

Any ideas???

 

[Erel]

Just to avoid confusion, the standard designer works properly with ICS devices.

Are you using B4A-Bridge or USB cable?
Please check the unfiltered logs and see if there are any related error message.

 

[francoisg]

I am using the USB cable ...
Not sure if this is only related to the One X - the standard designer behaves exactly the same on my device (ie. no views visible).

 

[Erel]

Did you check the logs?

When the logs are filtered I only see the following:
* LOG BEGIN ********************************************
LogCat connected to: HT24HW106631

Unfiltered I got the following (not sure if it is relevant?)

I see it says it is running in wifi mode - might this be part of the issue (the device wifi was on, then I turned it off but it still says it is using wifi mode - funny ...)?

 

[francoisg]

Switched wifi off, restarted the device and then reconnected and tried again. I now get the same (even after restarting b4a and clearing the designer app cache on the device):

I still not able to connect, any other solutions?

 

[Erel]

Do you get the same error message? Are you sure you've replaced Designer.APK with the one in the thread?

 

[salmander]

I am experiencing same problem with my HTC One X. I just tried Erels suggested method, and it worked on USB connection only (not on wifi bridge mode). But When I replaced my designer.apk file with the ICS designer file, it's not working again.

 

[Erel]

The ICS designer uses port 5000 so it will not work.
Which error did you get when trying to connect with B4A-Bridge (with the updated designer)?

 

[salmander]

No particular error. It's just when I try to connect to device in Designer>Connect to Device/Emulator and choose my device, it opens the designer on my phone but no views are displayed and after a while of displaying Connecting to Device it just gives up.

 

[Erel]

I see it now. B4A-Bridge connector doesn't check the configurable port value. It will be fixed in the next update.

 

[salmander]

Thanks Erel

I have the same problem with my HTC ONE X (using USB).
"Connecting to the device seems to work as the designer app starts up on the phone, but nothing else happens. "
While the status on the designer doesnt changed.
(Status: Disconnected...)
After a few seconds the designer app shuts down on my HTC device.

I'm using the current B4A software.
