Android Tutorial Compiling through Google Drive Filestream

Hi,

Last couple of days I have been testing compilation of B4A programs through Google Drive Filestream. Although it is a little bit slower it has a lot of advantages to do this:

- your OpenJDK resides on Google Drive;
- your Android SDK resides on Google Drive;
- your B4A programs and additional libraries reside on Google Drive.

How to do it?

1. Copy all SDK files through Google Drive Filestream (default drive letter G into the cloud;
2. Put OpenJDK also on the same G: drive;
3. Put all your B4A programs on the G: drive too.

Then you need to change your build configuration paths in B4A under Tools | Configure Paths and point all to the G: drive.

Now open a B4A program and start compilation and it should work.

Why do I want to do this?
I work on multiple development machines and this makes it easier for me to have everything in one place. Having the most recent SDK centralized is also a plus for me.

Disadvantages
Speed of course and you need enough storage.
I haven't tested it very extensive so I guess there will be more disadvantages.

Have fun!
