Have you installed the two dependencies: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/timetools-library-with-ntp-time.101149/#content ?

Besides @Erel solution have also a look at this (it might be useful to read the thread from the beginning) :

[SOLVED] <LiquidCrystal.h> not found - How to change libraries folder in arduino-cli

Good evening everyone, I kept postponing this but now that I have to correct something and I cannot do it, we have reached the node... What happens is that I had Arduino 1.8.19 installed in my computer and I had created an app that used Liquid Crystal Display. I completely removed the Arduino...

www.b4x.com

 

[Robert Valentino]

I already had the dependencies Erel recommended and tried what was recommended in the LiquidCrystal posting.

No change. So I went back to an old version of B4R I had v3.90 and the older version of Arduino I was using and the whole app compiles without problem.

In the old Arduino I was using the portable mode. The new version wants to compile using my user name which is "Robert Valentino" I wonder if the space between Robert and Valentino is causing the problem.

v3.90 is fine for what I am doing. Wouldn't mind moving to 4.0

Thanks for trying to help
