Android Question B4a on Linux Ubuntu

[bjf]

Hello!
Cam across this thread about running B4A on Linux.

Run B4A in Ubuntu 19.04

1) sudo apt install -y wine winetricks 2) winetricks dotnet452 3) wine B4A.exe 4) winetricks install windows DLL or component vcrun2010 5) right click icon B4A "Allow Launching" 6) Download OpenJDK 11 https://jdk.java.net/11/ 7) Extract file in /home/(user)/.wine/drive_c/JAVA 8)...

www.b4x.com

However, the java sources are no longer available and i cannot find any zip-archive for 32-bit.
Just an exe, for 32-bit from Oracle witch fails to install via Wine because of Gecko error.
Gecko is installed in the environment but it seems to be a long lasting bug that prevents the Java installer from working.

Tried to download from archives/different sources but when i try to run the SDK-manager it complains about JavaFX not being available.

So my question is how to install java nowdays and from where?

It is only the sdk manager that depend on JavaFX. In most cases you don't need to run the manager.

It will be simpler to install Java 8.

True, however i usually need it on fresh installs for downloading updates to firebase etc.

Gave up on SDK manager, everyting else ok apart from this error when i compile:
"adb.exe sysdeps_win32.cpp:2743] _wenviron is not set, did you link with -municode?"

I have ADB for linux set up and it's working and recognizes connected devices.
Also have adb.exe and the rest of the resouin android/platform-tools in the resources installed on the wine partition.
Anyone got a clue?

Hi @bjf , I saw in thread https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...linux-with-wine-fully-functional.98431/page-2 that you managed to sort this out by getting adb version 1.0.40 for both Windows and Linux (I'm trying to get things going with 64bit WinE on the latest Linux Mint). Could you tell me where I can find these adb versions? I've been looking around for quite a while now but to no avail. Thanks in advance

hi!
find both adbs (windows and linux) in the following link:

platform-tools_r28.0.2-linux.zip and 1 more file

2 files sent via WeTransfer, the simplest way to send your files around the world

we.tl

i use b4x with linux too and these are the adbs i use daily
