I think the connection between PC and android tablet. On the Tablet is B4A-Designer v1. 91 running, but you can see not the activity, and can not change the individual controls, because you will not be displayed.

Erel,
I must chop even once after. Also in the current B4A v2. 0 I get no connection to B4A Designer 1.91 on my ARCHOS 101G9. Accordingly, I can edit the layout not visual.
The status will show as not connected under B4A. Is there a solution to the problem?

I think this may be related to the similar post with the HTC One X. I noticed this problem long ago and there is another post on it somewhere. I just avoided using tablet for designer. Anyways to try and help things along here is a log for you Erel. It was cleared just before i clicked 'Connect to Device' so all the entries should be related to Designer.apk. Good Luck.
p.s. it's in .zip format as the .txt was too large

The logs file was useful. Thank you.
Please try the following steps:
- Close the IDE.
- Uninstall B4A Designer from the device (only required if you are using B4A-Bridge)
- Open the ini file: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Anywhere Software\Basic4android\B4Av0.1.ini
- Change: DesignerDevicePort=5000 to DesignerDevicePort=24672
- Unzip the attached file and copy Designer.apk to Basic4android installation folder (replace the other one).
Does it now work?

Unfortunately, the proposed modifications have does not work. With the Designer.apk from the zip file, I get on any device a working designer to the run. Neither the changed port value still the original value type work.
Edit: After release of ports in the firewall, it worked. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, appears to work here too. Can't remember 100% how the designer is supposed to look but it seems to work. I thought the views shown as colored panels similar to the abstract viewer, they show as black so until you actually select something in the properties window then it looks like it doesn't work, Once something is selected then you get the red rectangle with the resize tabs on.
No, the appearance is like under VB only on your android device. Can be changed on the device. Is a top issue for the arrangement of the control.

Hi All.
I'm a new user of B4A, but not new to IT (in it for 20 years now...).
I followed this thread as i'm having problems getting the Designer running with my Archos 101 G9 running 4.0.3
The Bridge is running fine and when i click on CONNECT in the Designer it shows "Connecting...", the B4ADesigner (the last from the zip-file) starts on the Device but after some seconds the Designer under Windows is disconnected again.
I changed the port setting in the ini-file and opened the same port on my local firewall for both directions.
What else could this be? Are there any logfiles i could have a look at? And where are they?
Hope there is someone outside able to help me.
Thank you in advance.

It is not on the Android version. I had also previously 4.0.3. installed and have the update to v4. 0. 6. (4.0.3) installed by xda developers. Now I have installed a Custom ROM from XDA developers with SDE and root.
I had the same effect. You use the Bright.apk or have you connected to archos your USB on your PC? Make the following times:
- Delete the Designer.apk on your device
- Copy the Designer.apk from EREL's zip file in the installation directory of B4A
- Start B4A and loading a project
- Start the designer in the IDE and try to connect your ARCHOS

Thats exactly what i've done last night and this morning.
- deinstalled designer
- copied designer.apk from the posting one page before into the program folder
- bridged over wlan with success
- this installes the "new" designer on the device
- starting the designer in the ide
- double click on Connect, message connecting.... appears
- designer launches on device
- in the ide appears disconnected (no error, just nothing)
The same then before.

New Information, as i tested it with USB-connection
I installed the appropriate USB-Driver from Archos and can "access" my device from within the IDE.
E.g. when i press F5, my code will be compiled, the apk copied to the machine and it will be started. Hey, thats ok, as long as there are no heavy bugs in the code. For security reasons i wanted to use the Emulator, but this is another thread here in the forum.
BUT, when i start the Designer and click on CONNECT the designer on the devices comes up but stays empty and after some secs. the designer status on my notebook is disconnected.
That means to me, it doesn't matter which way i'm connecting, the problem is the same.

@Erel:
In the current version, v2.22 B4A, the Visual Designer will be on the android device, the controls do both with the Designer.apk here from the thread as well, which is available in the installation package does not appear. Furthermore, the app is to be terminated on the android device only when I finish this in the app manager. The backspace key will only display menu.
