Android Question B4A moving to new home

[drgottjr]

current pc about to die. what's the best way to move B4A to new computer?

i assume i can download android and java sdk's like normal to the new machine and set paths, and i imagine i can copy the folder where my B4A projects live to the new computer. but what about the anywhere software folder? can that simply be copied over? or should i first install B4A on the new pc and then copy all my extra libraries folder over? what about my license and keystore? i forget if i'm prompted for something or if those 2 files can only be set up during initial installation. thanks.

The best bet is to re-install B4A, then port your files. you can go to your email and download it from the same link.

thanks. seemed to go ok. on initial launch, b4a prompted for license. it wasn't where i thought i had put it, and even my notes to myself were wrong (there was a license change on version 6, i think, last year. i didn't update my notes.)

also, when i first started using b4a some years ago, i misread what to do with the additional libraries i downloaded: in my haste i would simply drag each new .jar and .xml into the main anywhere software libraries folder. that error quickly became clear when installing b4a on a different computer; i had to find all the additional libraries one by one and set up a nice, new "extra libraries" folder for them on the new device.

"cc -L -I ...", sad how quickly habits from a former life are forgotten.
