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.

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.

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%

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/

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

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

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.

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

Actually I made one important change.

Original release starts emulator using

B4X:

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

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

I changed to

B4X:

        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).
