Android Question Execution problems with adb.exe

vecino · Jun 20, 2020

Hi, in the last few days I've been abusing your help a lot, I'm having several problems that I haven't been able to solve on my own.
Today I found an unexpected problem, error in the execution of adb.exe, both from the IDE and running it from the command line.
I don't know what information I need to share with you.
Can anyone tell me what it could be?
Thank you.

I could work this way, compiling from the command line. Then manually copy the apk to the device.
The problem is that I can't use the debugger, and I also can't use "log" to check / view variable values and information when needed.

I have uninstalled B4A 9.90 and tried previous ones. The problem is the same.
I have reinstalled B4A 9.90 and tried a simple program with a button that shows "Hello world". The problem is the same.

I don't know if I should install something from the android SDK, I am totally lost.
If I run adb.exe from windows explorer or from command line, the problem is the same.

What does adb.exe depend on? What can i reinstall, just in case?

Sorry to be so insistent, but I need to work.

It seems that you can use it from a DOS window - command line, or not?

Yes, I can compile fine from the command line.
The problem is that I cannot "debug", nor use log (variable) when necessary.

The problem is only with adb.exe

Well yes there is something new, B4A 9.90

The error has nothing to do with B4A. It happens when you run adb.exe.

The virtual machine yes I have turned it off several times and turned it on again.

Which virtual machine? I don't see any mention of a virtual machine???

Genymotion uses a virtual machine - Intel HAXM. Are you running Genymotion under Linux or trying to do it in the Windows VM. Perhaps there is a conflict with the two different VMs. I would get rid of Genymotion.

B4A has also always been running on a virtualbox machine. This is how I have always used it, since 2012

I use ubuntu linux since it exists, and before other linux.
Since 2012, when I met B4A, I installed it with virtualbox.
Since last week, genymotion on ubuntu linux.
In windows 7 virtual machine, I run B4A dede always.
It has always worked well.
The problem is apparently only with adb.exe

If I compile my programs from command line they compile fine.
I copy and paste them on my devices, no problem with that.

Could it be that genymotion is at fault, even if it is not installed on the virtual machine where B4A is?

vecino · Jun 22, 2020

I think I can only remove genymotion from linux. Although I don't know how it can affect a virtual machine with windows so that only adb.exe doesn't work.
I'm going to try and warn...

First of all, thank you all very much for the interest and time that you are dedicating.
See if it is solved soon.

Genymotion uses the Android SDK and that includes ADB.exe which is the channel of communication between your PC and Android devices, both real and emulated. It seems probable that Genymotion has installed its own components and messed things up. Uninstalling Genymotion may or may not solve the problem since it may not properly reverse the changes it has made. I suggest you re-install the Android SDK from scratch.

If you want to continue using Genymotion, go to its settings, find the ADB section, and enter the path to your Android SDK explicitly there. However, there is no guarantee that Genymotion won't upset things again when and if it updates itself.

I found it!!!

I have made a backup of my projects.
I have recovered a backup of the virtual machine from 5 months ago.
It is the same system, with the same windows, everything the same, except that it has an older version of B4A and my projects are not updated, obviously.
I have restored my projects on the old virtual machine.
I have installed B4A 9.90
Works!
I have installed the Android SDK and OpenJDK from https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html
Works!

The only thing that hasn't been changed or updated is the fu...ng windows.
So I suppose the culprit is windows, that something was broken.

The link with genymotion works fine.
Smartphone tests have worked well.

Again, thank you for your interest and for your time.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL, FRIENDS !!!

So from start you was talking about Windows 7 Ultimate... on Linux?

?

vecino · Jun 22, 2020

Yes, that's the way I've always used it.
Windows is running on a virtualbox machine.
And virtualbox is running from linux.
So, from linux, I can run multiple virtual machines at the same time. One windows VM for B4A, another windows VM for Delphi, another linux VM for Lazarus, etc.
It depends on the work that I am doing.

Ok but we thought you were talking about a PC with Windows, not a VM! ??

vecino · Jun 22, 2020

Oooh! but if I said it at the beginning
I must have said it more visibly.

Anyway, what's the difference?

The same differences between a real Android device and an emulator: many problems!

Your Windows is running in its VM, adb server is not and this seems to be the problem.

vecino · Jun 22, 2020

Wow, so I've had good luck in all these years (knock on wood)
Thank you very much for the information

No doubt that you should have posted this information in the very first post.
