Compiling as a library I don't think it will ruin your project, at most the compilation will fail.

Haven't set up automatic backup? Otherwise no, there are no other solutions.

I mean this one:


not a system one.
If it (Auto Backup) is checked, you should have a folder named "AutoBackups" in the project folder.

I do have that auto backups folder. The auto backups was indeed checked. My friend is going to help with a go to meeting in a few mins. Thanks

My primary problem is that the B4A bridge won't allow the install.

You need to explain more in detail what you have done and how !
And also what exactly you wanted to achieve when you complied your project as a library !

I was just stupidly trying to get the project to compile. I'll attach the zipped project in a moment. Thanks Klaus

Again I was stupidly trying to compile and clicked the compile to library as an experiment. I think we have cleared that up. My project is a database type app. The attach files link below is not recognizing my zip file on my desktop or in my project folder. I'm using 7Zip; still trying.

Maybe this will help. It's from my automatic backup folder.

Click to expand...

Which attached file?
As far as I know, when you compile a project to a library, the original project is not affected.
Does the original project work?

I just downloaded your project, unzipped it, and it works.
It shows a list:


At least it does not crash.

So what or where is the problem?

After clicking install, the phone stops from allowing the installation with the b4A-bridge connected properly. Phone reads: App not installed. My phone is a Samsung S9. It installs properly for my tutor's S9. In the settings of the S9, allowing unknown B4A-bridge is allowed. I don't see the new app name: IRC..... in those allowed settings list. My other apps display ok; I just ran it.

Have you tried to uninstall the program from the phone before installing it again?
You must also change the package name in Build Configurations?
It is set to 'b4a.example' which can cause problems if you have already other projects with the same package name.

Have you tried to connect it via USB?
If you can, I would suggest you to always connect your device via USB, it is easier to use.
I had connected my devices via B4XBridge quite some time ago, but via USB is much more convenient, at least fro me.

I always use USB (wired). I'll try the other suggestions now. Thanks
I'm not sure what program I might have installed into the phone other than B4A-bridge. I'll change the package name.

When I create a project, the first two steps are:
1. Change the #ApplicationLabel: on top of the code.
2. Change the Package name.

And this is also useful when you download projects from the forum, check and modify, if necessary, the two points above.
It is a habit I have acquired quite some years ago, because of similar problems.
