Android Question How can I stop B4A installing to other devices on the same network ?

[cooperlegend]

Hi, Can anyone help me with the annoying problem?

I have my development PC in the Office on a Network with three android development devices. Only one of these has B4A-Bridge installed in it.
When I first open up B4A and load my project if I forget to connect to my test device using Tools/B4A Bridge/Connect the project will compile and install onto one of the other devices connected on the network... This is a pain as it usually overwrite the stable release version with my development version and I have to go and re-install that device again.

Why does it pick up other devices on the network when they have NOT got B4A Bridge installed on them ?

Cheers

B4A cannot connect to device unless it is connected with USB debug mode or B4A-Bridge.

Hi Erel, I am developing onto Android TV Boxes.

The one connected to the network on 192.168.1.242 does not have a direct USB cable nor does it have B4A Bridge installed on it.

nor does it have B4A Bridge installed on it.

The device that you see here does have B4A-Bridge installed (or you took parts of B4A-Bridge source and added to an app of yours and it looks like B4A-Bridge).

Could it be TeamViewer doing this ?

There are currently two devices on the network 192.168.1.120 and 192.168.1.242

120 have B4A Bridge installed (as you can see)

242 only has my App, Teamviewer and ScreenStream

 

[Erel]

No. If you can install an app to the device then B4A-Bridge must be running there. There is a very specific and custom protocol that is only implemented in the IDE and B4A-Bridge.

I assure you it is not installed on this android TV box

The screen shot from Teamviewer shows the only programs installed on 242

Is there a way to clear the previous connections list?

 

[Erel]

The recent ips list is never used internally. It only helps you to choose devices. The IDE doesn't try to connect to devices automatically.

It is stored in the INI file.
