Android Question Configure SDK (solved)

[Shelby]

My new download of sdk-tools-windows-4333796 from yesterday is now in my android folder but.....it doesn't have a platforms folder like my old sdk-tools folder does and I can't understand how to configure the path.?

The last time I had to do this (a year ago) I think I had a similar problem and I can't remember how to solve it. In addition I don't see an android.jar file anywhere in the new 4333796 folder

Follow the Installation instructions here: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html#installation
Folow it carefully. It works. Start with a blank folder. Do NOT reuse an old SDK folder.

Thanks,
Perhaps my using my old folder is the problem.

By the way Don, do I need to start over with all of the B4A files and folders like the link says where you are sending me?

 

[DonManfred]

All about the SDK Installation.
You do not need to reinstall b4a. Guess you are using the newest Release? 8.8

 

[Shelby]

Thanks,
I was on 8.50 but I think I'll move up.

I don't remember how to tell the program I'm already a paid user.

Check the Credits dialog

It should show you registered here.

I just checked all around my house, my truck and my brief case. I don't see a credits dialogue.?

HELP->ABOUT

 

[Shelby]

I'm not able to click the help button on the B4A because I'm prompted: "Trial period is over. Please purchase the full version to continue using B4A." As soon as I click o.k. the code of a new or my previous app disappears. I guess I'll have to email Erel at the support email address.

 

[DonManfred]

Yes, you should contact support@basic4ppc.com

There is no android.jar file in my sdk-tools-windows-4333796 folder. I now have the b4a 8.80 version properly installed. The configuration tool can't find the sdkmanager.bat, etc

 

[Erel]

Either follow this:

Follow the Installation instructions here: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html#installation
Folow it carefully. It works. Start with a blank folder. Do NOT reuse an old SDK folder.


Or:

Ready to run SDK

I finally solved it by configuring the path to the sdkmanager.bat file after receiving the message: can't find sdk manager. Thanks again Don and Erel.
