hmm, I thought with v4 the (wifi) bridge wasn't able to post logs anymore. Didn't seem to be posting my logs, only when connected via USB. Anyways, while the rapid debugger appears to be a nice feature, it isn't exactly "rapid" with most of my projects, therefore I'm stuck with b4a traditional debugging. b4a is a very good tool overall, though the IDE does need some good enhancements to help maintain and debug code, especially for large projects. Also, if you could figure out a way to leverage the b4j designer, then b4a would be just that much better of a development tool. One of the main things the b4a designer is missing is "Anchors" and "Alignment" which would enhance developing GUI considerably under many different formats.
I haven't really messed around with b4j yet, but from a cross platform POV I would encourage you to ensure both sets of languages are as identical as possible, for example, b4a has "views" and b4j has "nodes", they're almost the same thing yet the code (object) isn't compatible between the two IDE's. The solution is to call the objects "views" in b4j as well and then include some kind of compiling directive to use certain properties of the object only within each target platform. Another solution I guess would be to add a "View" object to b4j and expose (wrap) the particular properties/methods that are compatible with b4a.
Again, b4a is a very good tool. I come from VB/Delphi and the main thing I see holding back b4a is the designer, debugging is improving. Otherwise b4a has Delphi (for android) licked.

Erel, you mention that you can copy variables to the clipboard, however there seems to be a limit. I have a rather complex SQL request and the copied text is cut off and ends with .... Is it possible that this size limitation could be removed? Thanks... Jon
