Note that the emulator is not related to B4A-Bridge.

Open a command line console and go to <android-sdk>\platform-tools. What is the output of: adb devices
?

It should show device instead of unauthorized.

Try to restart adb server (Tools - Restart ADB Server) and restart the emulator.

I did an entire system reboot which I assume will do all of that, same result. How do I authorize an emulator?

It should happen automatically. Try to create a new AVD.

Sorry, Erel, exactly the same result. Not a surprise as it's all a complete fresh install so they're not old AVDs lurking from an older version. Does it make a difference what options I choose setting it up, as I don't know what half of them mean?
I tried Snapshot instead of GPU and the v won't start at all. Speed is OK anyway.

Use this tool to create a new AVD: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/gui-avd-manager-emulator.80348/

Click to expand...

Same "unauthorized" here without using the linked GUI AVD manager. But if I run the (plain) AVD Manager as "Administrator", then I see the device (via adb devices) and B4A (running as regular user) uses the device.
