• Deprecated libraries removed: CustomListView (replaced with xCustomListView), Http and HttpUtils2 (replaced with OkHttp and OkHttpUtils2).

I recommend switching to the latest command line tools + Android SDK. This means that you need to download a new SDK. You can keep the previous one as well.

Instructions:

1. Download command line tools v6609375: https://developer.android.com/studio#command-tools
2. Unpack in C:\Android
3. Download additional resources: https://b4xfiles-4c17.kxcdn.com/b4a/resources_9_20.zip
4. Unpack in C:\Android. It should look like this:
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Set android.jar path in the IDE to: C:\Android\platforms\android-30\android.jar
6. Note that you don't need to run B4A Sdk Manager at all. All the required components are included. If you do want to run the emulator then start Tools - B4A Sdk manager, install the recommended items and create a new AVD.

Why don't you just make a backup copy of your c:\android and unzip it using 7zip?

Those folders are probably from older SDK versions.

Hi. I have a problem with the layouts in the beta. It worked perfectly in version 10. The application is using B4XPages. As you can see in the photo in the pages I have placed the ads at the bottom, and in all of them I have cuts. Attached image of the layout and the result in the emulator.

Most probably not related to the new version, however please start a new thread and provide more information.

 

[Erel]

That's exactly what I see. So let's assume that this is correct list of files and folders. Now - why in #1 we can see a different list of folders - where the other folders under tools such as proguard and support? That is my question. I don't know what is correct now?

Don't forget steps #3 and #4: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4a-v10-2-beta-is-available-for-download.121775/

Erel, after I follow all these 4 steps my Android9 folder looks like this

But your instruction in step #4 shows a screenshot where I can see that under folder tools there are folders proguard and support. But I don't see these folders neither in command line zip from step #1 nor in additional resources from step #3. What am I missing?

 

[Erel]

What am I missing?

You are not missing anything. The screenshot is probably wrong. I will check it.

Hello
I have to submit a photo to display the libraries
Because it is large and does not have the ability to copy and paste

Please edit the post with the error message and post the text.

I don't think previous versions did this - but I could be wrong (yes really!)

If I click on a closed region in the module pane the region that opens is not the one that I clicked but a different one, and sometimes nothing opens. I can't so far characterise this behaviour other than it seems wrong.

EDIT: To clarify, I am clicking the name of the region, not the drop down triangle at the left.

 

[Erel]

I'm unable to reproduce it.

If there is an issue then it is likely not to be related to the new version as nothing related has changed.

If there is an issue then it is likely not to be related to the new version as nothing related has changed.

Before and after clicking on 'Keycode functions'. Perhaps it needs a lot of regions and/or modules.

How do you record that image?

 

[agraham]

It seems to need many regions.Try this, it seems to open the region above the one clicked.

 

[Erel]

How do you record that image?

Using a nice free tool named ShareX.

It seems to jump to the correct place but highlights the wrong region. It is related to the fact that the IDE only tracks the current sub and in this case the current sub is actually the sub above the region. Bottom line is that we will need to live with this behavior for now.

Could you load the old clv library, Thanks a lot

Most (if not all) of the projects that used the old CLV, used the class module. If someone needs the old CustomListView library then I'll upload it. It can be added to the additional libs folder.

 

[Erel]

The old class is attached.

Tip for other developers: don't use it.
