Copy to G-Drive instead of Bridge

Using the bridge needs starting the bridge on the client before!

Just copying the .apk-file to Google-Drive would allow to install the app on the client by simply clicking on it in the Google-Drive-App anytime separately
(of course needs non-market-apps enabled in settings of the client).

Can i modify a compile+install-script myself that way or must make a build-wish as a third tool besides avd and bridge (with foldername to copy to)?

btw: i'm new to b4a and it's best tool i found since sql+php+regex! thanks a lot! (softworker sine 1970 ;-)

Until today I was happy to use B4A and an "iso" installation of Android-ICS, both via VirtualBox, but being able to hook up to my HP-Touchpad (running ICS) via a network connection is dynamite. Makes so much more sense, as I am trying to develop apps for this unit in particular. Got it running with your super instructions Erel in only a few minutes. Thanks a million!
[Added 9-29-12] I just successfully tested B4A Bridge using a rooted Nook Color (Android ICS) and a Nook Simple Touch (also rooted and using ICS). Flawless! Thanks again.

Having to reboot to reuse B4A-Bridge

I've been having to reboot my device if I want to compile/run a second (or third, etc.) time. Say I do a compile/run and see that the result needs a tweak, after I make an adjustment to my app, when I try to run B4A bridge a second time, I get a time-out error even if I extend the time by a good amount. Rebooting the device (I am testing my project on) fixes this. Has anyone else had this problem?

SOLVED: Having to reboot when rerunning B4A

Why don't you keep B4A-Bridge running? You do not need to restart it each time you deploy a program.
That's the answer. Thanks! I was closing B4A and then couldn't reconnect unless I rebooted. Keeping it open and connected is the way to go. Thanks again.

Older Versions of B4A Bridge

Hello

I have a tablet with Ethernet and WiFI
the older version of B4A Bridge (I think 1.6 or something) shows the correct IP if WiFi was off

the new Version (2.7) only shows the WLAN IP

I havn't a backup of this old version, so I can't test it anymore

How can I get the IP of the LAN or will there be an new version wich shows both (LAN-IP and WLAN-IP)

I tried to use the source-code and modify it but it will not connect

Feedback - B4A-Bridge keeps disconnecting

Hello,
Ever since updating my B4A-Bridge to V2.07, It keeps disconnecting from my B4A V2.30.

It's a pain because once it disconnects, I've got to completely kill B4A-Bridge on my phone then restart it again, it's annoying. Just clicking start does not allow B4A to connect to it again.

If there's a disconnect timer built in to the B4A-Bridge, it's a pain and should be made optional with a check box.

This constant disconnecting is annoying and my WiFi is never ever turned off(power save is Off).

When B4A-Bridge used to be connected to B4A, it never disconnect like this.

This is one of the more annoying issues it gers disconnected every few min....

Connectivity problem

The b4a bridge was working fine so far
now i am facing some connectivity issues

even though the device is connected to wifi the status is "Disconnected , waiting for wireless connection" i tried again by reinstalling the b4a bridge the same problem persists.

There is no change in settings in my wifi connection or device.

How to sort this? :sign0085:
