This project was working in 10.x

I have remove the 10.x version then installed the current 12.x version.

Timeout is 120 seconds.

You also need to install a new SDK for B4A 12.

I am using windows7 if that affect anything

 

[klaus]

Windows 7 is 32 bits.
B4A version 12 is 64 bits.
I am afraid that this is the problem.

1. Try to increase the process timeout setting.
2. How much RAM does your computer have?
3. Have you tried to restart the PC?

1. Try to increase the process timeout setting.
2. How much RAM does your computer have?
3. Have you tried to restart the PC?

I have switch to following jdk and it is working:

openjdk 11.0.1 2018-10-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13, mixed mode)

3. Have you tried to restart the PC?

1. I have changed timeout setting
2. 8gb
3. Restated pc

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13, mixed mode)

Look like is not related to JDK it is timeout setting I have increased to 300 seconds and it is working with JDK-14

Something isn't working right. The dex step shouldn't take more than a couple of seconds. The good news is that once dexed, the created object will be reused.

 

[Jiten Shah]

I am using VM to run windows under ubuntu this is the way I was using b4a version 10.x

12.x version IDE somehow slow during compile process whole system will be slow even mouse click also not responding.

And after closing the IDE for few seconds system will slow just like at the compile time.

You may just be short of RAM and Windows is paging. Running a Windows 7 64bit VM on top of Ubuntu in 8GB is probably a bit optimistic.

Ubuntu has 32gb RAM 8gb for Windows VM
