B4A Bridge Connection Problem

[ozgureffe]

Hi,
I wonder if i am missing something to use B4A Bridge.
Because sometimes it connect rapidly just after clicking connect menu.
But sometimes it waits and waits and waits and so...

I start application on my Phone by clicking start button and ist says "Waiting for connection" then I click menu B4A Bridge under tools menu then connect option every time.

But as I said before sometimes it connects rapidly. But sometimes wait for 10 second and sometimes it doesnt connect.

I check IP Adress and other things everything seems as it has to be...Both my computer and Phone uses the same wireless network...

Is there any trick?

Thank you

I can't really answer WHY this happens, but I have had the same problem, but I don't really know where the problem is.

When I use the emulator, it usually connects fine but every now and then (seems like after several "runs") it simply fails to connect. It seems like the easiest way to get it working again is to close the emulator then restart it from the AVD manager.

Likewise, when using the B4A bridge app, I see the same thing. It will work great for a while, then eventually it fails to connect. Quite often when this happens I find the B4A bridge app to be locked up. It is difficult to exit the app and it is difficult to Force Close it.

That has been my solution when the B4A bridge stops bridging B4A to the device: I Force Close it on the device (via Manage Applications). It usually takes two or three tries, but eventually it will stop the process. After that I simply restart the B4A bridge app then restart/reconnect the bridge.

Hope this helps!

I'm not sure if it will help, but you should connect B4A Bridge before running your application. Once connected you should not disconnect it as long as you are working.
