Android Question MANAGER

[Mr Blue Sky]

hi,
after doing an update of android studio I get this error in AVD Manager, I remove the application B4A and re-install 3 times already and still the same problem ???

 

[Erel]

Moved to the questions forum.

You shouldn't use the same SDK with Android Studio and B4A. Follow the installation instructions and install the SDK in a new folder.

 

[DonManfred]

You should use the same SDK with Android Studio and B4A

He should? I thought it should be

You should not use the same SDK with Android Studio and B4A

Or am i wrong?

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

Hi Erel, I use the same SDK and the same folder tools and works in android studio

 

[Erel]

You are correct. Thank you.

 

[Erel]

I meant to write: You should not use the same SDK with Android Studio and B4A

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

I do not think we can make it easier I delete Android Studio and I'm really sorry the problem itself .. I hesitate to delete now my SDK folder with all the updates :-(

 

[DonManfred]

You dont need to remove the folder if you want to use it in AS.
Just install a new SDK in a blank folder for B4A. Make sure to configure B4A to use the new Folder.

You can find the Setup-Instructions here. https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html
You also can watch this Video as it describes it clearly.

Start with a new Blank folder like you see in the Video.

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

thank don,

I know this very good video, but if I do as you say I must reinstall everything I regret having already updated Android Studio

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

I think there is really a problem with the tools of the package tools, before I do the update, everything works perfectly, whether it is B4A or Android Studio. And now I remove androis studio and re-installs B4A for the fifth time. it does not exceed 3%

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

for your information I deleted everything from Android Studio, B4A, SDK, ALL new B4A PC !!!
I reinstalled B4A and SDK and Warning: C: \ Users \ .android \ repositories.cfg could not be loaded.

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

the last message i'm already bored
i delete everything that has to do with android 28 and come back with android 27 and it works again. lost a day and delete everything for nothing I wish it could no longer reproduce that again

1) For B4A you don't need Android Studio at all.
2) To mix SDK folders is very bad. First of all, because Android Studio (with default settings) installs another releases of mavens etc.
3) If you want to be able to create Nexus/Pixel AVDs, take a look https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/modified-sdk-avdmanager.96022/

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

I understand that he will not mix bad SDK files in the future, I will not do more.
But before it works anyway despite my mistake
I think this is the update Android studio pose problem but obviously not
for my case the error come from the update android 28 in the manager
after ironing in android 27 everything works
thanks anyway for your answers even if it does not solve my problem android 28

 

[Semen Matusovskiy]

On my PC Android 28 works fine. My wrapper (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/modified-sdk-avdmanager.96022/) uses special call

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

obviously my problem from the beginning comes from the B4ASdkManager
I replaced B4ASdkManager thanks to your tutorial and now everything works with the update Android 28 and in addition I have another wonderful phone
If I had your message earlier I would not have lost a day doing multiple installations and especially to delete everything
A big thank you to you really
Now my question if I made the update B4A 8.50 # 1 on beta in 8.50 I will lose again the B4ASdkManager modified

 

[Semen Matusovskiy]

Yes. Copy it again.

B4A 8.30 distributive used SDKManager 3.28. At the beginning of August Erel made some changes and posted source code of new release 3.29. Now this release is included in 8.50.

I used exactly 3.29 for modifications.

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

really thank you because I started to despair I do not understand why i have this problem. all work fine before

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

I confirm !
I just installed B4A 8.50 and again the problem that I have here
I install your B4ASdkManager and everything works properly
And I make an installation since 0, for me only your B4ASdkManager works with android 28

 

[Semen Matusovskiy]

Actually I made one important change.

Original release starts emulator using

        shl.Initialize("shl", File.Combine(File.GetFileParent(Main.GetBinFolder), "emulator.exe"), args)

Which means the path <SDK-folder>\tools\emulator.exe

I changed to

        shl.Initialize("shl", File.Combine(File.GetFileParent(File.GetFileParent(Main.GetBinFolder)) & "\Emulator", "emulator.e
xe"), args) ' *** SM ***

This means <SDK-folder>\emulator\emulator.exe

Theoretically, these modules should be the same. But they are different (the module in subfolder Emulator is larger, probably this is more latest release).
